The 10 best cocktailbars 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.
It's actually quite simple: in Munich, you go to Charles Schumann, you see the stars whispering in the corner and indulge in fried potatoes and stories. Anyone who does it differently is doing it wrong.
The revolving door into Bar Tantris opens onto another world. The bar, in 70s style and completely bathed in red, offers cocktail craftsmanship to perfection by Jörg Krause and Susan MacKenzie, but above all radiates through their enormous empathy for the guest. You should definitely also try the bar food and peruse the wine list.
The recently reopened Jahreszeiten Bar is establishing itself as the place to be when it comes to Munich bars. No wonder with the competent team around Aleksandar Vujin, the dignified, cool atmosphere and the great bar food to go with the creative drinks of the highest quality. An American bar with history, flair and charm since the 1960s.
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.
Laboratory or bar, event location or Munich's largest tequila range? The Call Soul on the edge of the English Garden doesn't skimp on colourful superlatives, show effects and serial backdrops. Here, the evening is a complete experience with a theatrical presentation and perfectly mixed drinks with more than creative realisation.
The Rosewood Hotel bar offers a jazz bar atmosphere with live music every day. Dancer and namesake Lola Montez was known as the mistress of King Ludwig I of Bavaria and provides a link to the location. The drinks are creative or classic and are served in a highly professional manner by the international team.
If you dive into Little London, you will find yourself in a different world of cozy seating areas, a variety of steak cuts from the grill and a rather large wine list. And the gin selection is also impressive!
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.
