Drayton Bar in Berlin is a cool bar with a 1920’s, clandestine, speakeasy vibe.
It’s owned by Cookie which is something of a coolness institution in Berlin, owning several bars, restaurants and clubs, but at the same time having a very mysterious profile. The Drayton, in fitting with this image has been described by World’s Best Bars as the sort of place you can’t just stumble upon; you have to be told of it’s existence. This fits in tremendously well with the speakeasy aesthetic of the bar, which is all very shady and dark inside. They serve classic cocktails making it feel like a very fun, underground, experience.
The access is quite difficult. There are lots of stairs in the bar both in order to enter and to get to the disabled toilet. In fairness, they do have a disabled toilet, but it’s another case of this bizarre situation of having a disabled toilet at the top of a flight of stairs. The bar have said that they can provide doormen to lift you into the bar and from the bar to the toilets.
The Drayton Bar is very cool and tries to work around access problems. It receives a provisional 2.5 BBS Ticks.
