The Curtain Club
The cocktail bar of the luxury hotel The Ritz-Carlton is located behind heavy curtains right next to the lobby at Potsdamer Platz. The menu features drinks in the style of the Roaring Twenties, including the Truffle Tini and the Curtain Clover Club, plus 28 types of champagne served by the glass. The special feature: an adjacent Cigar Club offers hand-rolled cigars.
The Curtain Club: Cocktail Bar in a Luxury Hotel at Potsdamer Platz
The menu at The Curtain Club is inspired by the Roaring Twenties. Signature drinks include The Cosmopolite, The Truffle Tini, and The Curtain Clover Club, alongside meticulously crafted classic cocktails. They are served in period-style glasses at a long counter and in deep armchairs spread across several seating areas in the barroom. Additionally, there’s a selection of 28 types of champagne served by the glass, as well as small dishes including oysters. Right next door is the Cigar Club, featuring around twenty selected, hand-rolled cigars that can be tasted with the house’s aficionado. Guests are permitted to bring their own cigars for a reduced fee. During the summer months, the Secret Champagne Garden, a seasonal bar hidden behind the hotel’s corridors, also opens. The bar is open to everyone, with hotel guests and external visitors sitting side by side. Live music is also regularly played on the small stage in the barroom.
The Ritz-Carlton, Berlin: Art Deco in the Beisheim Center
The barroom is located on the ground floor of The Ritz-Carlton, Berlin, and is separated from the lobby only by heavy curtains, to which The Curtain Club owes its name. The hotel opened in January 2004 in the Beisheim Center, the last major component of the development at Potsdamer Platz. The square itself was completely redeveloped after the fall of the Berlin Wall, with the Beisheim Center forming its northern edge. Hilmer & Sattler und Albrecht designed the tower of light natural stone, which measures 19 stories and approximately 70 meters, echoing the Art Deco style of the twenties. Inside, this theme continues: the lobby opens over two floors, a curved marble staircase leads upstairs, with crystal chandeliers hanging above. A few years ago, the hotel underwent a multi-year renovation, during which the bar area was also redesigned. Its location brings together hotel guests, Berlinale attendees, and Berliners at the same counter, with Tiergarten and the Philharmonie just a few minutes’ walk away.
