Der Raum

On Friday night, Pia's last night in town, we finally checked out Der Raum (known locally as The Room)- an award winning cocktail bar just down the street from us. Der Raum has varied influences (including, allegedly, the classic American cocktail lounge circa mid-20th century Hollywood and post-modern Germany). The music is technopop (except on Thursdays when they host a German hip-hop night) and the impressive collection of liquor is suspended from the ceiling via bungee cords. Cocktails run $12-20 and the bartenders take their craft very seriously (they were spending a good five minutes preparing some orders).
