Wirtshaus Fraunhofer
Our #1 suggestion if you’re looking for “unconventional Bavarian”. Fraunhofer has been around in one form or another since 1774. Refreshingly alternative, this place is more of a quaint tavern than a posh tourist trap. It’s quite possible that the very best (caramelized) Kaiserschmarrn in town is actually available right here. Fun fact: Hit Fraunhofer […]
Ice Cream
Ballabeni in the museum-district is a phenomenon. At Munich’s most notable ice cream parlor, people will gladly stand in line for the duration of an average TV sitcom, just to get their tongues on one of Ballabeni’s many innovative flavors. We suggest you take a number and get in line to find out what all […]
Goldene Bar
Located on the terrace of the famous Haus der Kunstmuseum, overlooking the English Garden’s southern border, Goldene Bar is as iconic as it gets. That also goes for the fine drinks mixed by our colleague Klaus St. Rainer, who has become somewhat of a celebrity himself, due to the quality of his craft. Supreme place […]
Flushing Meadows Bar
Located on the hotel’s 4th floor, Flushing Meadows Bar is a creative meeting point for guests and locals alike. Enjoy a stunning terrace-view, classic bar tunes and selected cocktail variations served by bartender Clément Pech and his crew. Cheers! Fraunhoferstraße 32, Glockenbach, flushingmeadowshotel.com/bar
Bar Tabacco
Classy place for top-notch cocktails and an exquisite selection of late-night foods, hidden in a small alley right in Munich’s bustling city center. Hartmannstraße 8, Altstadt, bartabacco.com Get directions
Bar dell‘ Osteria & Osteria
Munich is full of Italian restaurants. This one is especially good. Officially called “Bar Dell’ Osteria”, we know this spot only as “Jimmy’s”, after the place’s one-of-a-kind owner. We regularly take out-of-town DJ’s here for a late supper on weekends, before they go on to play their gigs at Bob Beaman. Make sure to get […]
Schumann’s
Talk football with baristas Lucca and Giovanni over coffee in the morning. Or enjoy lunch out back on Schumann’s lovely Hofgarten terrace. Or catch late night drinks and dinner, if you can get a table. In any case, Schumann’s is a Munich classic – just like the bar’s owner Charles, who has been known to […]
Yoga
The Jivamukti Clan has an internationally renowned yoga center right around the corner. Check their time-table for a bunch of classes including “basic”, “open”, “spiritual warrior”, “music / rhythm” and even “kids” as well as regular sessions with high-profile teachers from out of town. Buttermelcherstraße 15, Glockenbach, jivamukti.de Get directions Yoga am Engel (new!): Prinzregentenstrasse 78a, engel.yoga/preise.html […]
Football
Join the locals for an after-work pick-up game in the Englischer Garten’s holy (but tricky) lawn. This may just be the city’s most democratic get-together, featuring students, tourists, blue-collar workers, hipsters and hedonists from all walks of life. Enter the Englischer Garten at Thiemestraße and Königinstraße, then head ahead slightly to your left. Englischer Garten, […]
FC Bayern
It’s basically impossible to get football tickets for the Allianz Arena without the right connections or a lot of good fortune. But you can watch the record champions practice up close and personal at Säbenerstraße during the season. It’s a media-circus and all, but you haven’t been to Munich, if you haven’t seen them getting […]
