Best Bars in Munich – The 8 Coolest Bars in Downtown Munich
Munich is the third largest city in Germany, so whether you’re looking for a dive bar or a fancy cocktail place, the city has something for you. Even though having too many options can make it hard to choose, we’ve done the hard work for you. Here are 8 bars that will make your night.
Best Bars in Munich: #1 Das Labor
In this case, “labor” means “laboratory,” not “hard work.” Das Labor takes a scientific approach to cocktails, with waiters wearing lab coats and serving shots in test tubes that are toxic, radioactive, or flammable. If all of that sounds a little too made up, the beer pong tournament on Thursday night brings it all back down to earth. If you come in after 9 p.m. on Thursday, you’ll have to pay a cover. Every other time, it’s free to get in.

Best Bars in Munich: #2 Zephyr
Bar, German

The New York Times said that Zephyr was one of the best places in Munich to grab a drink. When you order a cocktail at Zephyr, it’s like buying a piece of art that you can eat. The way the drink looks is just as important as how it tastes. With a focus on local spirits, fresh ingredients, and fun names like “Microwave Safe,” a night here is a unique cocktail experience.
Best Bars in Munich: #3 Les Fleurs du Mal
Bar, Pub Grub

This bar is a spare room above a famous bar with a single table made from a walnut tree. It is the perfect place to try one or more of the 150 whiskies, absinthes, cognacs, and rare spirits behind the bar at Les Fleurs du Mal. Cheers, Baudelaire.
Best Bars in Munich: #4 Bar Gabányi
Bar, Pub Grub, Wine, Beer, Cocktails, Fast Food
Some of the best things that happen at Bar Gabáyani, a classy cocktail lounge near the Oktoberfest grounds, are poetry readings, dance shows, chamber music concerts, and jazz concerts. The bartender, Stefan Gabányi, used to work at Schulman’s American Bar before opening his own place, which has lots of dark corners, couches, and nooks for when the night starts to slow down.

Best Bars in Munich: #5 Club Couch
Couch Club is Valhalla for juniper berry fans because it has more than 130 kinds of gin. Gin tastings happen often, and guests can try more than 100 different ways to mix gin and tonic. Avoiding malaria has never tasted so good. Even if you don’t like gin, there are plenty of other drinks to choose from. The atmosphere is chill, with couches, foosball, music, and snacks.

Best Bars in Munich: #6 Bar Muenchen
Bar, German
Bar Muenchen is the place to go when paying more than €50 for a Simmertal steak is the right thing to do. This little piece of heaven has wood walls and is on one of Munich’s nicest streets, so there’s not much not to like about it. If you don’t want to eat dinner, getting a cocktail like the Stagger Lee (cherry liqueur, cherry marmalade, mint, and Wild Turkey) before the opera is a cool way to start the evening.

Best Bars in Munich: #7 Padres
German, street food, beer, restaurant, cocktail bar, and German
Padres is not your father’s cocktail bar. It is named after what the bar calls “the worst baseball team of all time.” The rowdy, party-loving crowd here drinks original and classic highballs made by cocktail historian Marco Beier and watches Bundesliga games on flat-screen TVs, making Padres a sports bar for the well-dressed man.
Best Bars in Munich: #8 Cocktail House
Bar, German
Cocktail House has been a romantic spot in Munich’s Schwabing neighborhood for more than 30 years. The bar has whole rooms that can be reserved in advance Sunday through Thursday for any special event you want to celebrate, whether it’s a date or a group get-together. The atmosphere is warm and nostalgic, and the cocktails are strong and easy to get. It’s hard to think of anything better.
