MITTE. Upscale, trendy, and ... well, long and attenuated. Bar Am Lützowplatz has no problem attracting Berlin's young professionals, thanks to its extensive drink menu. Of course, it lays proud claim to an attractive, blond-wood bar (the city's longest), which delivers ample opportunity to rub elbows and chat while waiting for your favorite cocktail. Comfortable leather-backed chairs line the wall in the back, providing spots for intimate conversation. Take note: thanks to its popularity and narrow confines, Bar Am Lützowplatz tends to get crowded and stay packed until closing time. U-BAHN: Nollendorferplatz

MITTE. A classic West Berlin watering hole, Newton juxtaposes the classy with the avant-garde. The interior features comfortable leather armchairs, cool marble, blond wood, and a crescent-shaped bar set against a seductive backdrop of floor-to-ceiling, black-and-white Helmut Newton nudes. Indeed, young, well-dressed professionals place such high stock in Newton that they bring their international clients to sip wine, check out the action on Gendarmenmarkt, and close the deal. That is, if they make it past the doorman! Cigar aficionados, meanwhile, find safe-haven in the upstairs lounge, whose humidor features primo cigars imported from Cuba and the Dominican Republic. U-BAHN: Stadtmitte
