American Bars in Bavaria
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.
The Vintage Bar is cosy yet suitably sophisticated - a place for classics. The drinks follow the rules of traditional bar culture in the best possible way, with the collection of 300 spirits providing the basis for the professional handling of full ice, stylish glasses and fresh ingredients.
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.
Jazz and whisk(e)y meet in this beautiful bar in the Pelikanhaus and combine to create a relaxed mix of well-crafted drinks and bar evenings that make you forget the time. One of the creative signature drinks: the "Shibuya by night" with Toki whisky, tonka bean and soda water.
Bar culture is very important in Nuremberg - one of the centres is the Gelbe Haus. For over 35 years, classics have been celebrated here at the highest level and original creations have been developed. With the mobile bar for events, the spirits school and the tastings, it is an inspiring cosmos for bar enthusiasts.
At the six-metre-long counter, you really sit right in the middle of things in this bar and experience the team's top-class cocktail craftsmanship up close. Guests communicate their wishes in a relaxed atmosphere, and there are virtually no limits to the creativity of the drinks. Many of the ingredients are homemade and the spirits are carefully selected.
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.
This bar certainly doesn't live up to its name - there is far more than just beer and grain in the glass. The cocktail tastings at 7 pm are particularly worth a visit to discover new things and broaden your horizons. Creative creations and top craftsmanship such as the "Eden Sour" with bourbon, apple, tarragon and mustard seeds.
The Europa Bar is an institution with stable quality, cult status and a relaxed atmosphere. From the absolute bar classics to innovative new creations, there is nothing that the team can’t bring to the glass, for example the in-house "Saffroniser". Franconian beer culture is also held in high esteem!
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.
The world of the Barock Bar in the atmospheric vaulted cellar extends far beyond the bar counter. The pre-mixed drinks in bottles have long since found their way into Regensburg households, and the courses and events are also very popular. There are signature drinks such as the "Perlama" with tajin pisco, cynar and mango black tea lemonade.
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.
As a whisk(e)y fan, you have to see this range and this bar. With rock and blues in the background you can immerse yourself in the variety, get to know like-minded people and talk shop - whether about drinks or music. The bar's own club creates a bond that goes beyond the bar, and the bar food provides the right foundation.
