"Warm Dishes" Bars in Germany
Stephan Hinz is a gastronomic great in Cologne, with his chic and cosy bar a place for good drinks and good conversation.

In a prime location on the banks of the Main, this trendy bar occupies just a few square metres in Frankfurt's narrowest building. The well thought-out selection of drinks is much wider.

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.
Charles Schumann's bar is an icon far beyond Munich, just like him. There is a lot of understatement here, but also a lively vibe between exceptional roast beef with roast potatoes, elaborate drinks, celebrated classics and friends of the house. In summer, the garden is the most beautiful bar in the city.
Culinary creativity meets mixology: the bar translates Kevin Fehling's three-star cuisine into cocktails. Classics are rethought, such as "Tom Kha Gai Milkpunch" (rum, Malibu and lemongrass), "Okinawa Shiso" (Lillet, yuzu liqueur and habanero) or the "Piquant Bastard" (white pepper, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco).

It doesn't take long to realise how skilfully the bar team works with herbs and fruit. Be sure to order the Coconut Negroni!
In August 2025, the elegant and cosy bar celebrated its tenth anniversary.

Getting past the door is not as difficult as you might think given the bar's reputation. The owner duo have made a name for themselves with sustainably designed cocktails (little food waste!). What should you try? Highballs or drink of the week! Please take the Bottled Flamingo home with you!
Bar and lounge, drinking and chilling - Marian Krause's concept is a success and the location is no longer an insider tip.

The menu not only includes classic cocktails, but also some more innovative drinks.
Lots of greenery dominates the hotel bar, which is decorated with a small world of plants. The centrepiece of the modern and cosy location are 16 signature drinks, some of which are refined with unusual ingredients such as caraway, fennel or coriander.

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.

An American bar with history, flair and charm since the 1960s.
Situated in the centre of the station district, this unpretentious, trendy location is a mixture of bistro and bar. Signature drinks such as "Sheriff" with gin and melon or "Yaldy Spritz" with sour cherry and yuzu are the heroes in a glass. The kitchen brings a variety of flavours to the plates, from sandwiches to fried chicken.
Experience gastronomy at its finest in the Floating Chair. However, you should allow three hours or more to experience the sometimes Asian, sometimes classic, sometimes ultra-modern inspired dishes. Sommelier Vincenzo De Biase has the right wines up his sleeve. You should come back for the Late Night Experience with cocktails!
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.
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.
