BARBUSHKA COCKTAILCAFÉ SYLT

There aren’t many cocktail bars on Sylt but Barbushka makes a welcome exception. Space is tight, but staff more than make up for it with a menu of reliably good tipples. Fans of old-school cocktails like sazeracs and mint juleps won’t be disappointed. Friedrichstraße 14

WUNDERBAR

Considering how elegantly appointed so much of Sylt is, the excellently named Wunderbar is a refreshingly shabby mess of wood and graffitied walls. It opens its doors at 9pm and has the feeling of a lively apres-ski joint, only with the prices of a Hamburg dive bar. sylt-wunderbar.de

BIERBRUNNEN WESTERLAND

If you’ve just stepped off the train to Sylt and are keen to have a beer, then this old-fashioned beer hall just outside the station will likely prove irresistible. There’s plenty of outdoor seating, while inside the decor calls to mind a traditional Frisian inn. Wilhelmstraße 5
