Schumann's Bar am Hofgarten on Odeonsplatz in the Altstadt remains the reference point, with Trader Vic's nearby on Promenadeplatz holding the long tiki line. Across the river, Pacific Times and Zephyr Bar on Baaderstrasse give the Glockenbachviertel its modern mixing scene, while Bar Gabányi works the craft end near Beethovenplatz.
