After Work in der Lützow Bar

After Work at Lützow Bar: A Legend with a Counter

For over a quarter-century, the Lützow Bar shaped West Berlin’s bar culture, attracting an illustrious crowd. Famous personalities like Danny DeVito, Liza Minelli, and Falco took a seat at the long bar. Then came the closure. But now the bar is back, with everything that once distinguished it. Anyone looking for an after-work drink that’s more than just a quick beer after work will find exactly the right place here. With its over 17-meter long counter, the Lützow Bar is featured in Playboy as Germany’s longest bar. By the way, a stylish picture of David Bowie awaits at the end of the counter.

The bar itself is elegantly understated. The harmonious lighting concept is particularly pleasant, creating a discreet atmosphere. Those who prefer more comfort can settle into the cozy lounge on spacious Chesterfield sofas, while the Berlin after-work life unfolds at the counter.

Highballs, Classics, and Signature Drinks

When it comes to drinks, Lützow Bar doesn’t do things by halves. The friendly bar team prepares any classic cocktail from Negroni to Manhattan upon request. However, the highlights are the highball creations by the team led by bar manager Thomas Altenberger. Altenberger is no stranger: he previously shook first-class cocktails at Harry’s New York Bar and perfected his craft at the Vesper Bar and the elegant Restaurant Golvet. That’s why the drinks here are spot on. Fresh herbs, shrubs, and infusions provide delicious impulses in proven classics. Good wines, champagne, and other premium spirits are also on the menu. The Lützow Bar is open on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 18:00, and on Fridays and Saturdays until 03:00. So there’s plenty of time for an after-work drink in Tiergarten.
