Cozy bar in Berlin • review, 2014
you can find it in the Intercontinental hotel Berlin, and it is a friendly place which combines classiness and simplicity in the good meaning of it. If you pop in there in the middle of a cold Berlin winter day, like I do sometimes, you can get warmed up with a hot apple punch or a pot of tea, always served charmingly and with friendly care…
Have a look how nicely they arrange your little treats. What a perfect spot when all you crave for is warmth, care, and just a little bit of elegance.
Marlene Bar, cigar lounge
Update 2019: Unfortunately, the cigar lounge behind the Marlene bar, which used to offer these nice treats and elegant yet cozy atmosphere, has disappeared. In the “old good” times you could enjoy there a cigar, a little food and a drink, at the same time, at the same place. It was a pretty, discreet, quiet and comfortable spot. In the main space of the bar they used to, almost every evening, have live music played by high class musicians. They don’t anymore. This, as well as the disappearance of the cigar lounge, is another sad fact on our list of the happenings under the title “we are losing Berlin the way it used to be”… Berlin becomes less and less attractive for a middle-aged, “straight” or of the traditional orientation, educated person with some culture and taste.
