A legendary West Berlin institution run for decades by the late Gregor Scholl and now continuing his legacy, Rum Trader is a tiny, wood-panelled bar with one of the world's most extraordinary rum collections. It's a pilgrimage site for serious spirits drinkers — sit at the bar and let the staff guide you. The atmosphere is hushed and reverent, not for those seeking a party.
