Becketts Kopf
Sturdy drinks and cigars in Prenzlauer Berg
Contrasting the storm of new-wave, fusion recipes colonising Berlin’s bars, Becketts Kopf is a retreat to the past; celebrating classic, sturdy drinks reminiscent of a long gone era. At this Prenzlauer Berg location, guests need ring a doorbell before getting comfortable on chesterfield sofas and tapping their feet to the smooth jazz played in the cosy, velvet-draped room. Behind the bar, seasonal ingredients and fresh herbs are mixed and stirred with hand-cut ice, with Cuban cigars to round it off.
