World´s Best Bar Selection 2016
This inconspicuous spot, hidden behind a normal-looking door with a bell you ned to ring, is one of Berlin’s cooler cocktail spots. The décor is low key and low-lit, red curtains and a warm bronze glow about the place. Head man Ricardo Albrecht knows a thing or two about cocktails as though his bartenders and this place offers up a superb selection of drinks.
IMMERTREU
Dim, inconspicuous, entry only by a residential door bell; first timers will revel in Immertreu’s curiosity-inducing vibe, regulars keep returning for the service. Head bartender Ricardo Albrecht knows the cocktail game inside out and now so does his team. Guests of the bar can sink into a fat leather chair and let the barmen shake up classic long drinks and newfangled remakes. The bar also serves quality whiskey, rum, gin, tequila and vodka.

ABOUT BAR IMMERTREU

THE BAR IMMERTREU
So it’s somewhat of a relief that there are bars like Immertreu. Owned and run by award-winning mixologist Ricardo Albrecht, Immertreu is a place that so far has managed to steer clear of the branded limelight of cocktail competitions and industry events.
IMMERTREU (Prenzlauer Berg)
Apropos ernsthafter Trinkgenuss: Der wird in dieser bereits 2011 eröffneten Bar zelebriert. Ein 14 Meter langer Tresen, schwere Vorhänge und Art déco-Lampen sorgen zwar dafür, dass 20er-Jahre-Feeling aufkommt. Doch die eigentlich Passion fürs Bargewerbe steckt hier vor allem in den Drinks. Inhaber Ricardo Albrecht überlässt nichts dem Zufall: hochwertige Spirituosen, gekühlte Gläser, dazu Nüsse, Wasser und ein kompetenter Service nehmen jeden Kenner schnell fürs Immertreu ein. Gereicht werden vor allem Klassiker wie der Americano oder Red Snapper, die hier ohne viel Chichi auskommen.

DAS SAGT DER FALSTAFF
Trotz des Namens, der an eine Kriminellenvereinigung der 20er-Jahre erinnert, sollte man sich in diese kleine dunkle Seitenstraße im Prenzlauer Berg verirren. Ricardo Albrecht mixt sagenhafte, ungewöhnliche Cocktails in loungigem Ambiente.

competition in London, 2009 …
