Sharlie Cheen Bar

Located at Rosenthaler Platz in Berlin-Mitte, there's a cocktail bar that's more concept than pub: The Sharlie Cheen Bar bears the name of a fictional playboy and serves drinks whose menu is designed like his diary. Craftsmanship and precision in every glass are paramount here.

Sharlie Cheen Bar: When the Drink Menu Becomes a Story

It’s rare for a cocktail menu to appear as a diary. At Sharlie Cheen Bar, that’s exactly the concept: the menu is designed like the notebook of a fictional playboy and combines house creations with classics. Real effort goes into this. The syrups are cooked in-house weekly, the infusions are prepared personally, and the ingredients range from mint and berries to bacon. The bar team is happy to advise and, upon request, will also mix individual drinks, perfectly suited to the bar’s atmospherically dimmed ambiance.

Moreover, the sheer selection behind the counter is impressive. A six-story bottle rack with over 250 spirits and tape art style walls, designed by Berlin artists, define the look. The bar’s ceiling, in turn, is adorned with a design of hexagonal honeycomb cells that glow in multiple colors. The result is a space that, despite a clear design line, doesn’t feel sterile.

Cocktail Bar in Berlin-Mitte with Location and Attitude

The Sharlie Cheen Bar is located directly at Rosenthaler Platz, one of the city’s most visited nightlife districts. Taking the U8 to Rosenthaler Platz, the Brunnenstraße exit leads directly to the door. Furthermore: Torstraße and Alte Schönhauser Straße are just around the corner and offer a dense array of bars, restaurants, and galleries. So there’s plenty to do late into the evening. The bar is open daily from 6 PM. Sustainability also plays a role: the bar sources ingredients locally whenever possible and relies on environmentally friendly practices such as waste avoidance and recyclable materials. This is not a given in this price range but a conscious decision.
