The best bars in Germany: Green Door again bar of the year in Berlin!
The Mixology Bar Awards 2026 were awarded in Berlin on October 6, 2025, again in the capital, which has established itself as an important hub of German bar culture. The awards are annually and were first awarded by the magazine "Mixology" in 2007, which is considered a kind of "Oscar" of the bar scene. In total, prices were awarded in various categories at bars from Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne. The “Green Door” in Berlin-Schöneberg was voted “Bar of the Year” in Berlin-Schöneberg within this solemn event.
The "Green Door", which is located near the Nollendorfplatz, is characterized by its American bar ambience, with a furniture from the 1990s and artistically painted walls of the artist Thomas Hauser. The team around Maria Gorbachova was also awarded and received the title "Barteam of the Year" in this category. Gorbachova herself was voted "Bartender of the Year", a premiere in this category for a woman.

In addition, the “Truth & Dare” in Vienna was honored for the third time in a row as “Bar of the Year” in Austria. The "Collaborative Bar" in Hamburg was recognized as "New Bar of the Year", and the "Jing Jing" in Hamburg received the title of the "Restaurant Bar of 2025".
In addition to these awards, outstanding services were also recognized by the Mixology Bar Awards 2024. The event took place on October 8, 2023 in Moa Berlin and awarded the "Wax on" in Neukölln the title "Bar of the Year" for Germany, in which Sam Orrock is in charge. The "Wax On" has made history because it is the first time that a bar has achieved the award-trick. Matthias Guichard from "Wax On" was also recognized as "Bartender of the Year", which underlines the importance of the place in Berlin's bar culture.
Overall, the variety of awards shows that the bar scene in Germany is alive and innovative. With the next Mixology Bar Awards, which are planned for October 6, 2024, the tension for the future development of the bar scene in Germany remains high.
