About Shelter

SHELTER is an intimate, upscale cocktail bar. Uniquely combining elements from high-end hotel bars and original industrial grunge styles from Berlin and Eastern Europe, SHELTER is a juxtaposition of swanky and casual.

With standout design features, including a beautifully crafted light fixture featuring over 5,000 individually hung bulbs, SHELTER is truly a one-of-a-kind setting for memorable nights and superb food, drink and… shelter.
