Velvet

The seasonal, plant-heavy cocktail menu at this low-lit spot changes weekly, but you can expect drinks containing ingredients like Japanese knotweed cordial, rosehip liqueur, fig leaf extract, and distilled yellow habanero. Velvet is a luxe affair, especially for Neukölln, so bring someone you’re trying to impress—a hot date, a new client, or your most discerning friend—settle in at a plush quilted booth, and indulge in a level of sophistication that’s hard to find elsewhere in this city.
