Signature Cocktails Inspired by Circus Legend
Our extensive cocktail menu celebrates Marlies, the legendary GDR circus artist whose vibrant story infuses every creation. Standouts include the “Lieschen Mule” – a zesty blend of vodka, ginger beer, fresh lime, and playful rabbit garnish that delivers refreshing spice. The “Marlies Magic” sparkles with gin, elderflower liqueur, and prosecco bubbles for glamorous effervescence.
Barmaids adorned in feather boas deliver theatrical presentations: Bottles spin dramatically through the air, shakers dance rhythmically, transforming each order into a captivating cocktail show. Using fresh Berlin-sourced ingredients, housemade syrups, and premium gin varieties, we craft drinks across every flavor profile – sweet temptations, tart citrus bursts, bitter herbal complexities, and subtle smoky notes to match any mood.
Classic Cocktails with Burlesque Twists
Our gin collection boasts over 20 varieties perfect for sophisticated Dry Martinis garnished with lemon zest foam or Negronis featuring housemade vermouth. The Tequila Sunrise gains circus vibrancy through layered pomegranate gradients creating stunning visual depth. Berlin-style Mojitos incorporate local strawberries or fresh mint from nearby Neptunbrunnen for authentic regional flair.
Couples’ favorites like the “Love Bunny” combine pink raspberry gin with heart-shaped ice for romantic sweetness. Large group pitchers such as the “Circus Carousel” serve rum, fresh fruits, and soda to four, perfect for sharing celebrations. Non-alcoholic options shine with the “Ferdinand Fizz” – berry-infused sparkling refreshment capturing circus whimsy without compromise.
Weekend Mixology Synchronized with Shows
Friday and Saturday evenings from 7 PM, our mixology synchronizes perfectly with the Cirque du Burlesque performances. Cosmopolitans accompany seductive tease acts while chilled champagne flutes celebrate breathtaking aerial acrobatics. The glittering circus bar adorned with rabbit motifs transforms into a cocktail paradise where every creation enhances the live entertainment.
Happy Hour from 6-7 PM offers classic cocktails at special rates, drawing early crowds eager for prime stage views. Panoramic sights of Berlin Cathedral and Red City Hall frame your experience from comfortable barstools overlooking Neptunbrunnen. Summer brings our expansive terrace alive with outdoor cocktails and mesmerizing water features.
Housemade Treasures and Rare Spirits
Housemade liqueurs showcase creativity through Marlies’ strawberry spirit and bold Circus Coffee blending vanilla warmth with subtle chili heat. Rare spirits include local craft gins and authentic GDR vodka alongside tiki adventures like the “TV Tower Mai Tai” bursting with pineapple, aged rum, and orange liqueur. Low-alcohol options such as lighter spritz variations maintain sophistication without heaviness.
Barmaids expertly customize drinks while sharing engaging stories behind each creation, mirroring the interactive charm of our Burlesque performances. Perfect food pairings elevate the experience: Currywurst bites complement crisp beer cocktails while creamy housemade ice cream cleanses the palate between rich digestifs.
From Daytime Refreshments to Midnight Revelry
Daytime transforms into casual elegance with brunch cocktails featuring Berlin Bloody Mary variations or lighter mimosas. As evening approaches, the energy escalates toward intensive long drinks fueling the main show and spontaneous shots between captivating acts. The atmospheric synergy amplifies every sip – glittering ceiling reflections dance across colorful liquids while live jazz underscores rhythmic glass clinks.
