Obwohl Berlin eine starke Barszene hat, mangelt es oft an Marketing. Craft Cocktails Kreuzkölln möchte das ändern.  Die Mischung aus Festival, gehobenem Bar Crawl sowie Messevorglühen findet anlässlich des Craft Spirit-Festivals Destille statt. Organisator ist Bartender und MIXOLOGY-Autor Robert Schröter.

Cheers friends! This week David Wondrich has got a tour of some of Milan and Turin’s oldest bars for you.  Also: Fever-Tree surpasses Schweppes by value in the UK off-trade, Diageo is trying to get some Scotch laws changed, and PDT is setting up (permanent) shop in Hong Kong. Enjoy! MORE

*Ism, Oslo is the hotly anticipated new bar from Chris Grøtvedt, formerly of Hotel Continental and The Thief, which opened this month. MIXOLOGY was lucky enough to catch Grøtvedt between meetings in the opening week to talk about what to expect from his new bar.

Velvet may just be the most exciting bar in Berlin right now. Damien Guichard, Ruben Neideck, and Filip Kaszubski, the three masterminds behind the bar’s intimate ambience and offbeat seasonal cocktails, talk about Velvet’s unique vibe.
