On the sunny corner where Kastanienallee and Oderberger Straße meet, you’ll find Zacharias Tagesbar. The venue opened a few weeks ago, yet it feels as though it’s always been a fixture. Perhaps it’s the timeless design: inside, dark wood meets polished metal accents and a Mediterranean palette of terracotta and olive green. Zacharias draws inspiration from Italian coffee and aperitivo culture. Stop by in the morning for a quick espresso, or linger in the evening over a Negroni and a selection of small Mediterranean snacks. Owners Johannes Knötig and Joel Rudischhauser come from the specialty coffee scene and have already made a name for themselves in the neighborhood with Zacharias Kaffebar, which opened in 2021. While drinks remain the focus at the new location, the Tagesbar introduces an entirely new concept. During the day, enjoy freshly brewed coffee made with beans from 19grams and a rotating selection of filter coffee specials, alongside freshly baked croissants, toasted banana bread, and small snacks. In the afternoon, the Tagesbar transforms into a destination for aperitivo. The menu features three excellently curated house wines — approachable, balanced, and the perfect match for any evening.
Those seeking something more experimental can choose from three ever-changing wines: rosé, cava, and other bottles available by the glass or for sharing. But the real highlight is the Negroni, a signature drink perfected over time. The two owners are confident it’s among the best in Berlin. To accompany your drinks, order chips, lemon olives, cheese, cold cuts, marinated vegetables, and fresh bread throughout the evening. Outside, around 80 seats invite you to soak up the sun, while inside, the bar transitions gently from day to night, with future pop-ups and listening sessions designed to bring the community together.
