Bar culture with high standards

At the ELEPHANT BAR, bar culture is cultivated with skill – not loudly, but confidently. Classic cocktails such as Negroni, Martini and Whiskey Sour are served, complemented by seasonal drinks made with regional ingredients. Lovers of fine spirits will also find a selection here that will delight connoisseurs: single malts, champagne, gins and aperitifs from small producers. The bar team understands the art of conversation and the balance of flavours. Every drink is an invitation to consciously savour the moment – in the best sense of style and craftsmanship.

aperitifs

The ELEPHANT BAR is more than just a place for late nights – it is also Aachen's meeting place for the start of a successful evening. An aperitif at the bar, a glass of champagne in an armchair or a drink on the small terrace overlooking the spa gardens: this is where the quiet moments that make the evening special arise. In winter, it provides warmth and tranquillity, while in summer, the space opens up to the outside – how about a cocktail on the terrace? If you are looking for a bar in Aachen where you can relax, the ELEPHANT BAR is a place that will stay with you. At the ELEPHANT BAR, you can choose from over 70 different types of whisky, exquisite cognacs and a variety of first-class gins.
