Alcademics

A couple of months ago I visited Berlin for the Bar Convent. On that visit I hit up Lebensstern, the bar that won World's Best Drink Selection at Tales of the Cocktail in 2010.  My quick write-up on the bar is here.

I asked permission to print the cocktail menu and they kindly agreed. Note that this is merely the cocktails - the spirit selection, scattered in display cases throughout the house, is also quite extraordinary.
