Das Labor is a rather singular bar in Munich. There, the waiters wear lab coats and serve shots ranging from toxic to radioactive to flammable in test tubes. Rest assured, you haven’t arrived from one of those strange places you only see in the movies. It’s just the unlikely world of this place, which also organizes beer-pong tournaments on Thursday evenings. In short, a truly incredible bar.

The Gabáyani is one of Munich’s best bars without a doubt. You’ll find everything here : excellent cocktails, very good beers, nice boards. But what’s really different here is the atmosphere. Poetry readings, shows and jazz concerts are organized here. In short, one of the most chill, enigmatic and appreciable places in the Bavarian capital.

Menehune is located inside the famous Trader Vic’s restaurant at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof. Here, excellent cocktails are created. We recommend the mai tai or l tiki puka puka, two of the house’s great classics.

Dukatz is a rather elegant café-restaurant. The establishment is of high quality. We appreciate the interior, which immediately confers a feeling of calm and relaxation.

The cuisine is French. The drinks, from all over the world. Whiskies, rums, beers and cocktails, you’ll be able to enjoy a bit of everything.

One of Munich’s lesser-known bars for tourists. Nevertheless, it’s well worth discovering. The establishment has three branches: Klenzestraße 69, Haimhauser Str. 11 and St.-Anna-Straße 11.
