Capella Bar & Cigar Lounge

Expensive, classy, well stocked, superior service, dark, very upscale and completely decadent. The front room is all bar, no smoking. Beautifully decorated. You step toward the back cigar room and the door opens automatically revealing an equally classy room with leather chairs, ashtrays and lots of cigar smoke. There is a walk in humidor, tons of single malt scotch and an air of pure downright bitcheness (It's a word, look it up).

This actually is a very nice place. Not the regular cocktail bar. Live piano music, home made popcorn, but off course the quality of the drinks is the most important.
I ordered this cocktail with coconut and pineapple, but it was anything but regular. If you like a refreshing cocktail try out the Moscow mule.
If you like classy and upper class? Check out this cocktail bar.

Some friends and myself visit the bar every 2 months when we're in Düsseldorf and i can truly say i don't know one bar where the gap between national/international recognition/fame and the quality & creativity of the Drinks and menu is so big. Most people even within the mixology world were never here or didn't even hear of it in specific while the mixology and service here is some of the best in Germany. Its one of the two best hotel bars (Ritz in Berlin with the Curtain Club and Fragrances being the other one) in Germany and in the top 10 worldwide (and i've visited quite a lot until now) for me. Of course you have all the benefits of the hotels resources like in every hotel bar but while they could be satisfied with that and lay back they chose to create new menues every 5-6 months in my experience, always having a new twist in it and great artwork like right now with the movie classics theme. The presentation as well as the composition of the drinks is superb, also the number of signatures is spot on (not too many but more than enough).
Big compliment to the bar chef!

The only critique i can think of is a) get maybe 2 or 3 drinks with a little more of an experimental site to them into the menu, right now they are great but you have nothing where even mixology fans would think "What, this will never work", it's great to be suprised about that it indeed can sometimes work out what you read in the menu and b) the "Tiffany's" drink is a bit more watery than really creamy what puts the more bitter-watery aromas of the coffee in front, that's at least what a friend and myself thought.

I'll never stop recommending this bar to every friend who travels to DD.

Very good classical cocktail bar with classical cocktails in one of Dusseldorf's best hotels w/ great service. Definitely to recommend.
