Thelonious Bar — Restaurant in Berlin

i tasted blood spending a lot of money on fancy drinks recently and really wanted to continue. this bar served my desire, each alcoholic cocktail costs 11€. it's more than the current minimum wage per hour in germany, but you can make a cheers to the new coalition agreement setting it at least a little higher to 12€ hopefully soon. there is only a handful of options on the menu - great not to be overwhelmed by choices though (i'm a pisces rising !). we had the whiskey sour, horse's neck, the last wall, a riesling and i ordered a negroni that put hair on my chest. it came with a cool ice cube and a funky coaster that lights up your glass. little tip: ask for them if you don't get one, they will surely de~light your evening !

this bar opens at juck (7pm) and closes at 2am (not to be confused with bipie aka 2pm !). we never go here on purpose and mostly end up in this bar when silver future is too busy, but it's a nice place. nothing unexpected, yet there's always a seat here. it has a rather dark ambience with candle lights and filament bulbs that give off 2015 aesthetics and remind us of the lumineers, hey ho ! a range of liquors lit by leds is displayed behind the bar. the friendly bar staff was quite impressed by my friends' furry phone cases and very attentively filled up our water glasses when we had sipped them empty.

the toilet is behind a curtain that adds a theatrical vibe and the shadows from behind happen to form the shape a cross on the floor. i was very intrigued to have a peak behind and glad to find an all gender bathroom. is it a hint that there should be space for queerness in religion and referencing the fact that gender is a performance ? holy moly, we enjoyed our time a lot and will keep this night in...

Wonderful experience and amazing discovery of this place. I was missing such kind of places where drinks are art, and the client is being pampered from the moment you enter and until you leave this place. The bartenders carefully listen to your preferences from type of alcohol to aromas and tastes and perfectly interpret it into their drinks. Amazing selection of alcohol, a separate vitrine for infinite types of whisky. great quality of ingredients and amazing taste exceeding your expectations. Top level of professionality and zero arrogance (which you can find in many hyped places of Berlin) Totally a five star place, just keep in mind that for this level of service obviously has a high price (from 11€ for “classic” cocktails). The only flaw i would say, you better present a detailed bill with price for each cocktail instead of just approaching with a tablet and saying the total amount to pay, people are curious to know especially when you create cocktails out of menu so you don’t know the price. Be ready to spend 40-50€ per person for a...

Wonderful service and drinks in this cocktail bar.

Upon arriving we asked if there was a drinks menu, to which the waiter very kindly replied: "I'm your drinks menu!"

She guided us to our drink choices after a few questions. We ended up with a Sage Sour (made with sage infused gin) and a walnut Bourbon drink (kind of like a sour old fashioned). Both were incredible in flavour a depth.

We would have happily stayed for (many) more, but it was simply too smoky inside, an issue that seems to be prevalent with...
