Cocktail Bars in Munich

Beer gardens get all the attention, but that just leaves more of the great Munich cocktail bars out there for discerning drinkers like you, right? This chic and cosmopolitan city has plenty of style, and its denizens help support a vibrant craft drinking scene at the many cocktail bars in Munich.

Consistently voted one of the world’s best bars for its to-die-for cocktails, Schumann’s Bar am Hofgarten in the center of Munich is truly a must for any cocktail connoisseur. You’re going to pay (and probably wait) for the experience, but chances are patrons will bump into someone famous on any given night of the week given Hofgarten’s regular clientele.

Bar Harlander is another trendy hotspot that always seems to be busy with a classy clientele sipping sophisticated cocktails, while tons of casual and relaxed Munich cocktail bars serve up tasty liquid mixes with zero pretension. One such pretension-free haunt is the ever-quirky Holy Home over in Isarvorstadt, while the upscale but still cozy and friendly Negroni bar nearby reminds patrons that “a cocktail a day keeps the doctor away,” or so says the sign outside this cute bar with the distinct Italian flair.

No one will ever find this city lacking in frothy steins, but for those who want a little more effort put into their glass, Munich cocktail bars quickly step up to the plate.
