American Bar – London
Currently, the world's second best bar, is the American Bar at the Savoy hotel in London. This iconic bar still have servers in white jackets and a pianist in the middle of the bar. With 125 years of history it's easy to think the cocktail list would be equally old...

Cadierbaren – Stockholm
So, we're back at Grand Hotel Stockholm's Cadierbaren to try some of their seasonal cocktails. Bittersweet Maryrose is a very pink drink made of gin, rhubarb liqueur, aperol, lemon, grapefruit and rosemary sugar syrup. It's a summery drink, making you think of kitchen...

Redwood – Berlin
Why the bar is called Redwood becomes clear the moment you step in. The bar desk is made by a huge piece of American redwood and naturally becomes the centerpiece of attention. The bar itself you don't realle stumble upon though. A bit hidden on a rather dark street...
