Bartista

Swabian Alps Region


A pinch of 1920s flair goes a long way at this stylish little bar with red walls, candelabra and cosy armchairs for conversing. Cocktails are what it's all about here, such as the house special Tübingen Gardens – a zesty blend of lemon juice, elderflower syrup, lavender-infused gin and soda.
