French bar with top-tier cocktails, natural wines, and a buzz
"East Berlin’s first French bar, Le Bar Tabac, opened in Prenzlauer Berg in 1982 when the city was still split in half. From behind the Wall, the French owner attempted to recreate the bar his grandparents owned in Paris of the same name, and it still has an old-school charm. The glowing carotte rouge Tabac sign jutting out over the door signals a night of top-tier cocktails, good chat, and a smoke or two, secondhand or otherwise. We recommend the French gimlet, Lillet Berry, or one of the natural wines chalked up on the board. Le Bar Tabac is popular all year round, but has a real buzz in the summer, when locals pour out onto the pavement with a Gauloise in one hand and Le Vodka Soda in the other." - olivia ladanyi
