7 editor picks in Munich.
7 speakeasies in Munich our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All Munich nightlife.
Schumann's Bar moved from Maximilianstrasse to Odeonsplatz in 2003 and keeps Charles Schumann's unfussy cocktail discipline intact, with a long counter.
TipClosed Saturdays. Cocktail names skip the gimmicks; ask the bartender for an off-menu build to your taste.
Bar Gabányi opened in 2012 below street level on Beethovenplatz, with Stefan Gabanyi (ex-Schumann's) running a classical American cocktail programme.
TipWednesday and Thursday from 18:00, weekend doors at 20:00; book for chamber-music sets. The whisky list rewards a slow read.
Zephyr Bar runs a deliberately stripped Glockenbach room on Baaderstrasse with fresh produce stacked behind the counter, house builds like the Chai and Peach.
TipWalk-in only; arrive before 21:00 on Friday and Saturday. Closed Sundays.
Pusser's New York Bar opened on Falkenturmstrasse in 1974 as Munich's first dedicated cocktail bar, with mahogany walls, naval memorabilia, a jazz pianist.
TipThe Pianobar downstairs runs Thursday to Saturday from 19:30. Smart-casual dress; the bar rewards a slow conversation.
Goldene Bar sits at the back of the Haus der Kunst overlooking the English Garden, with 1937 gilded walls, a wide terrace and Klaus St. Rainer's cocktail.
TipClosed Tuesdays. Daytime cafe service from 11:00; the terrace opens through the warm months and is the seat to chase.
Boilerman Bar runs inside the 25hours Hotel The Royal Bavarian at Bahnhofplatz, focused on highballs poured from a tight spirits programme.
TipHighballs are the order; the bartender will adjust soda-to-spirit on request. First-come first-served, no bookings.
Negroni opened in 1998 on Sedanstrasse in Haidhausen as a classic American bar, with a tight cocktail list, an Italian-inspired weekly menu and a sun terrace.
TipWalk-in; bartenders mix off-menu on request. The weekly Italian small-plates list pairs to the cocktails.
