Herbarium

Herbarium in the Hotel Freigeist on Berliner Strasse was named Hotel Bar of the Year 2023 by Falstaff magazine — a remarkable distinction for a bar in a mid-sized university town. The botanical concept runs through the entire experience: from ingredients and decoration to the presentation of every cocktail, the plant kingdom takes center stage. Fresh herbs, house-made syrups, and seasonal infusions form the foundation of an extraordinary drinks menu.

The interior pairs modern elegance with natural materials, creating an atmosphere that feels both stylish and welcoming. The bartenders work with visible passion and take the time to offer recommendations and explanations. Guests who stay open-minded and follow their guidance are rewarded with creations they would not have expected to find in Goettingen.

Prices reflect the level and sit well above the local average, yet they are justified by the quality and the overall experience. Herbarium is the premier address for a special occasion or an evening when you want to treat yourself to something truly out of the ordinary.
