When it comes to Munich’s nightlife, there are plenty of excellent options. Whether it’s clubs, pubs, or rooftop bars, the choice is entirely yours. One thing that’s certainly not in short supply here is the variety of laid-back bars where you can enjoy a few drinks and relax. Here are our favorite bars in Munich for a chill night out.
Frau Bartels
No matter what kind of cocktail you prefer, Frau Bartels is the perfect bar for you. Its unique selection of cocktails and cool vintage armchairs create a relaxed atmosphere where you can simply sit back and enjoy the night. In the summer, you can also sit outside on the sidewalk and sip your drinks as the sun sets. The family has grown in the meantime—there’s now a Herr Bartels, not far from Frau Bartels on Blumenstraße.
Easy Tiger
If you’re looking for a mix of rustic charm and groovy music, the Easy Tiger Bar is the place for you. The bar is known for its super chill beats, which create a carefree atmosphere ! Here you’ll meet laid-back people and can really let your hair down. So sit back and enjoy your drinks to the music in good company.
Branch
The place already looks like a living room with its large bookshelf, sofas, and upholstered armchairs. In this laid-back bar, you can literally settle in. It’s best to come during happy hour between 7 and 9 p.m., because then you’ll pay just €8 for your drinks. The gin and tonic comes highly recommended!
Salon Irkutsk
For a unique ambiance, a visit to Salon Irkutsk is well worth it. The inviting atmosphere is created by the paneled walls and the bar that juts into the room. Here, the focus is deliberately on conversation, which is why the background music plays only softly in the background. Order a few pelmeni to go with your cocktails to satisfy your hunger, or take in the artwork on the walls. You’re guaranteed not to get bored here!
Der Kleine Kranich
The decor is rustic yet creative and offers a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. The Kleiner Kranich is also known for its super-delicious cocktails and tasty snacks, all lovingly prepared with fresh ingredients. A real place to hang out!
Loretta
The Loretta Bar is open for you from early morning until late at night. You can stop by as early as breakfast time and stay until 2 a.m. Here you’ll find cool cocktails, delicious spritzers, and light meals to refuel. Chat with your loved ones or browse through the magazines and newspapers laid out on the windowsill.
Wallace
An elegant bar with a cozy ambiance awaits you at Wallace in Schwabing. Tucked away in the back are small armchairs and sofas where you can make yourself comfortable. The signature cocktails are inspired by Tarantino’s classic “Pulp Fiction”— as the bar’s name suggests—which is sure to delight movie fans in particular. To top it off, there’s delicious tarte flambée to keep you going.
Gehölz
An “oasis of well-being”—that’s how Das Gehölz describes itself. And we couldn’t agree more. The walls are covered from top to bottom with lush greenery, making you feel like you’re in a magical garden. A few neon signs glow among the plants, giving the place a cool vibe. On sunny evenings, you can enjoy your drinks outside in the outdoor seating area, whose wooden structure is entwined with ivy.
