"American Bar" in Munich
Bar culture from one of the best - Charles Schumann has created a place on the first floor of his flagship store that would be equally at home in New York or Tokyo. Stately, elegant, mysterious and with just a few seats at eye level with the professional bar team. Iconic drinks are created here in legendary surroundings.
The unpretentious Zephyr is known far beyond the borders of Munich and has always been regarded as a creative driver of innovation in the bar sector. Chef Lukas Motejzik mixes bold, new, fresh and yet uncomplicated drinks like no other, using high-quality spirits and a great deal of flavourful creativity.
You're in if you're in. This has been true for many years for the "Goldene" as a bar icon at night - but also for the large terrace, which is a chilled place for drinks, coffee and the best pastrami sandwiches in town during the day in summer. The place breathes history and is home to the Eisbach surfers.
Emanuele Ingusci is particularly fond of rum. In his small but cosy bar he is happy to share his knowledge and passion with guests. With its vintage ambience the bar with its few seats offers an intimate atmosphere in which you can fully immerse yourself in the craft of cocktails.
When you descend the stairs, you enter the world of Stefan Gabányi. The whole bar is cult: professional and stylish; quiet coolness is a matter of course. The night owl clientele also rely on hot food until the very end - a saviour for many a bar night when everyone meets again at the bar.
Negroni has been an institution on the Munich bar scene since 1998, opened in the classic style of an American bar. The Negroni drinks naturally take pride of place on the menu, but the other drinks are also remarkable in terms of craftsmanship and quality. Plus: San Daniele, linguine al tartufo and more.
Pusser's has long been a bar legend. Even in Munich in the 1970s, the American bar style was celebrated here and the history of cocktail culture was upheld. The bar has many stories to tell! You should definitely try a classic rum drink and learn about its origins.
If you haven't enjoyed a drink at this bar or in one of the cosy corners in the reddish light, you may not have a soul for bars. Where soul music is not background music, but a way of life - and bourbon is a passion! - night owls and new lovers come together to celebrate the night.
Nestled in the beautiful Hans-Sachs-Straße, in the Glockenbach district, the bar has been an established favourite for many years for excellent handcrafted drinks, from classics to unusual creations. There are also regular specials from the well-curated selection of spirits. Beautiful terrace in summer.
Friends of casual minimalism and sophisticated bar culture will find themselves at home at the cool Garçon. In the quiet Utzschneiderstraße, directly between Viktualienmarkt and Gärtnerplatz, a cosy bar atmosphere, international vibe and first-class drinks in the pub garden go hand in hand. Small bar snacks are also on offer, like vintage sardines.
Between partygoers and hip outfits, cool sunglasses and night-time party queens, you stand at the bar of The High with no sense of time and forget that you're sipping a steep "Dark & Stormy" in Munich. The "Basilic" highball or the "Thyme Smash" are also real classics, matching the green neon look.
Red light, dim atmosphere, Wes Anderson vibes: the bar looks like a film set. No wonder, as it is docked on to the Rio Filmpalast and transports guests into another world at the bar. The in-house creations are ambitious and creative - like the "American Allstar" with bourbon, lemon, tomato and egg white.
Where Robinson's has been supplying night owls and Gärtnerplatz revellers with drinks and acting as a hotspot for 15 years, Cherie has been a party institution in the wild 70s between red light and rock 'n' roll since the end of the 50s. Today, you can still go wild with a shot of home-made rum.
The group of architects led by Günter Behnisch created an icon for the 1972 Olympics with the "Olypark". Nowhere can the view over the buildings be enjoyed as well as on Deck 21, where summer long drinks accompany the sunset or the bar food makes for a casual dinner in an extraordinary atmosphere.
The 1950s were the inspiration for the interior of this stylish bar. A popular meeting point for friends who enjoy sparkling wines; Champagne is available neat and mixed in inventive cocktails.
