About the Vibe
Geist im Glas is the OG cocktail bar that put Rollbergsiedlung on the map back in 2012. You'll find creative, house-infused spirits and drinks that actually taste like something, not just pretty colors. The boozy brunch is legendary for a reason—go for the griddle-based American breakfast if you're nursing a hangover, but don't expect a classic full English.

The Original Neukölln Cocktail Institution
Geist im Glas has been a cornerstone of Berlin's cocktail scene since 2012, and it's easy to see why. The bar offers an extensive selection of artisan cocktails with surprising twists, house-infused spirits, and natural wines. The atmosphere is cozy and lively, making it perfect for everything from intimate dates to group celebrations.
The boozy brunch is a real highlight—Aishah, the owner, created an American-inspired menu that's the ultimate hangover cure. While the kitchen space is limited, the griddle-based service delivers satisfying portions that'll keep you full all day. The staff is friendly and professional, and they speak both English and German, so you'll never feel lost.
What sets Geist apart is the genuine spirit they bring to everything they do. It's not just about the drinks (though those are excellent), but the welcoming, accepting vibe that's made it an institution in Neukölln. Whether you're a local or just exploring the neighborhood, this is the kind of place that feels like home.
