Sophisticated bar culture

At the ELEPHANT BAR, bar culture is cultivated with skill—not with noise, but with confidence. We serve classic cocktails such as the Negroni, Martini, and Whiskey Sour, complemented by seasonal drinks made with regional ingredients. Connoisseurs of fine spirits will also find a selection here that delights the discerning palate: single malts, champagne, gins, and aperitifs from small distilleries. The bar team understands the art of conversation and the balance of flavors. Every drink is an invitation to savor the moment—in the best sense of style and craftsmanship.

Appetizers

The ELEPHANT BAR is more than just a place for late-night hours—it’s also Aachen’s go-to spot to kick off a great 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 come to life. In winter, the space offers warmth and tranquility; in summer, it opens up to the outdoors—how about a cocktail on the terrace? If you’re looking for a bar in Aachen where you can truly unwind, will find in the ELEPHANT BAR a place that leaves a lasting impression. Here you can choose from over 70 different types of whiskey, exquisite cognacs, and a wide variety of first-class gins.
