Buck and Breck
Berlin's cult speakeasy, Brunnenstraße, fourteen seats, by-reservation only.
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed May 2026
Buck and Breck is the hidden cocktail counter on Brunnenstraße in Mitte that Gonçalo de Sousa Monteiro opened in 2010, fourteen seats around a single L-shaped counter, the door unmarked, the format reservation-only with two seatings per night. The cocktail programme is technique-first classic-modern, the menu changes seasonally, and the room sits among Difford's Guide's top-50 bars internationally most years. Locals use Buck and Breck as the post-dinner Berlin cocktail booking that has the format weight to anchor the night.
Editor's Tip
Book online; walk-ups are not accepted. The 22:00 seating is the room's pulse. Dress is the polished-casual audience reads as default at this register.
