"Barrier-free" Bars in Bavaria
The bar behind the Haus der Kunst is a safe bet and caters to all tastes. Magnificent murals on a golden background show maps that tell of the origins of the wines and spirits once served. Today, classics are served with a twist, such as the "Blood & Sand" with orange foam.
The elegant bar has its own entrance in the Mandarin Oriental. The modern art deco-style bar forms the radiant centerpiece. Browsing through the menu is a real pleasure with its imaginative signature drinks such as "Last Samurai" - a combination of whiskey, yuzu, tonka bean and truffle honey.
Good florists are those who don't confuse you with unnecessary details, but understand what the bouquet is supposed to be about. The boys and girls here do something similar: they skilfully compose wonderfully floral, fruity or tart works of art from fine spirits that are sure to impress.
In Munich, you don't stumble into bars, you sail in. That suits a place where the wooden planks are planked and the drinks push every sailor out of their Timberlands - because they are so good, not because you're being sloppy. To avoid getting seasick, it is still advisable to keep a sense of proportion.
This place is almost a legend. A bar with flair, so too the guests, soaking up the pop culture as if through a straw. And that's the magic; the perfect hotel bar. A place where you first become a stranger to yourself and then get to know yourself anew. No other venue does this better.
Address: the traditional 5-star Hotel Maximilian's on the lively Maximilianstrasse. Hermann Hesse, Giacomo Girolamo Casanova and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart can be found as signature drinks on the 3M menu. You should definitely try the exclusive Maximilian's Gin - the hotel's own bee honey meets August Gin.
Those who tread new paths often lose their way. At Herzog, however, they walk into the future as if it were a well-paved staircase. The interior is modern in a way that is also warm, the menu dares to experiment without losing itself, and the drinks are created with a lot of love and understanding.
In an elegant bar with high ceilings and a grand piano, there is an eight-metre-long granite counter. Here, 15 signature drinks are offered, inspired by the adjacent botanical garden and divided into herbs, spices and vegetables. The Moroccan-style lounge offers an elegant retreat.
Here, you don't hesitate for long, you light something on fire. Or something like that. Cosiness is a huge topic in Munich. It often comes across as a bit old-fashioned. But not here. You sit by the fireplace, take a sip of Champagne and get ideas. Like: a fire is only as warm as the love burning inside you.
An exclusive place to enjoy deliciously flint drinks: A wide range of champagnes and flint wines from regions ranging from California to Georgia are served in understated elegance, sometimes accompanied by a cozy open fire. Equally unobtrusive but extremely friendly: the experienced bar team.
The focus of the hotel bar at the Seehotel Niedernberg is on exquisite whisk(e)ys and a large selection of gin varieties from all over the world. The cocktail menu is mixed up with classics and new highlights from Ran Hof's repertoire. You can start with a "Midori Spritz" with melon liqueur and the snack platter.
In the evening you can see the moon from the roof terrace of the Deutsches Museum. But what you can do here all day long is eat and drink well. Simple hearty dishes, accompanied by the right drinks.
