"Hotel Bar" in Munich
A bar with a story – the barman should tell it. Here, we would like to point out what makes it future-proof: drinks that convince even professional naysayers. In addition, there is a really successful blend of historical charm and contemporary elements. That alone is worth a visit.
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.
A life at the hotel bar. Is that melancholy, perhaps even lonely? Nope. It's turned up like fans in summer. And they have something else in common with the bar at the main station: although it's constantly rotating, everything is always cool. That's because of the newspapers in the bathroom, but even more so because of the drinks.
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.
Eduard's Munich in the newly opened Breuninger department store heralds a touch of new bar culture in the city. For shopping breaks and after-work drinks, you can stop off here in a chic setting for creative cocktails with homemade ingredients, such as the "Willi Sour" with Eduard Breuninger Williams pear and pear puree.
In the Isarbar, you feel like you're inside a gold bar. And just because everything is so beautifully golden, you naturally order a whisk(e)y. Something peaty to go with the leather armchairs. One sip is enough and you feel ready to write a novel. But you don't, because the feeling is enough.
It's like this: bars are places for romantics, for dreamers, for those hungry for life. And that's why a good bar is characterised by the fact that it knows this. You can usually sense this as soon as you enter the bar; here you understand that a hunger for life often goes hand in hand with a thirst for drinks.
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.
A bar that is decorated in such a restrained manner can cope with this, especially if it impresses with what the bar staff pour into the glasses. And - my God - that's the case here. And in all the colors of the spectrum. Everything really tastes good here, from the classics to their own creations.
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.
Family flair in the middle of Munich. The stylish hotel bar is the best place to start or end the evening. Champagne, wines and international drinks and cocktails are the tasteful companions.
Light and healthy dishes from the spa kitchen with a cool drink. Who could resist? On the terrace or in the glazed conservatory: the view over the rooftops of Munich is just as impressive.
