Ellington BarThis elegant, high-end cocktail bar with speakeasy charm is situated near the Hauptbahnhof—wedged in between the unlikeliest neighbors: an erotic shop and a gambling hall. If you have a short stopover by train in Dusseldorf, it’s easily accessible from the train station for a quick sip. Inside, the lighting is as moody as it gets, and behind the bar a very Instagrammable neon nameplate features prominently. The comprehensive cocktail list packs a punch—the drinks are finely crafted with high-quality spirits, so even if you imbibe slightly more than you should, the morning after won’t be so bad.
