The fan-shaped city is famous for its incomparable cocktail bar scene, which has developed and professionalized rapidly in recent years. The Door - Liquid Kitchen & Highballs in the vaulted cellar at Hirschstraße 17 has been one of the most popular bars in the fan-shaped city for just over a year and is no longer an insider tip. Mixology magazine (Europe's biggest bar magazine) has named The Door on its list of the 10 best new cocktail bars in Germany, Austria & Switzerland. Claudia Áamo Masanet and Lennart Geist are the two owners who have made their dream come true with The Door bar in Karlsruhe. In the rustic vaulted cellar with its impressive stone walls, the two have created their extravagant cocktail bar, which impresses with its enchantingly beautiful drawings and loving details. The heart of the bar is the counter, which invites you to watch the cocktail artists at work.
The well-known drink with the special name "highballs" is a combination of a base spirit, optional other ingredients, a carbonated drink such as soda water or ginger ale as a filler and lots of ice cubes. To distinguish it from a long drink, the filler is not served separately, but is already poured in. The mixing ratio is therefore fixed.
"Liquid kitchen" is the name given to the approach of using a wide variety of equipment and techniques to prepare cocktails.
- Sous Vide cooker
- Vacuum sealer
- Rapid Infusions
- Centrifuge
- Rotary evaporator
As this involves liquids, The Door calls it Liquid Kitchen.
All the drinks at The Door are original creations that are out of the standard category, both visually and in terms of taste. Exceptional presentation and completely new combinations of flavors come together: you have to try them!
In addition to the bar, The Door can also be hired as a private event location. In addition to cocktails, food can also be ordered there. Tastings (rum, gin, whisky), cocktail courses and food pairing events are also held regularly on the premises. In summer, the terrace in the backyard invites you to linger and BBQ events are held there. Guest shifts are a very special feature at The Door. Out-of-town bartenders come to Karlsruhe and present their creations on an evening at the bar in Hirschstraße.
