Summer is already knocking on the door, transforming Munich once again into Germany’s most beautiful city. Now it’s time again for spritzers, fun drinks, or beer after work at Munich’s outdoor dining spots. The outdoor dining areas and rooftop terraces of the Isar metropolis invite you to linger with drinks after work and on the weekends. But even beyond these classics, there are cool spots in the city where you can sit together comfortably outdoors . The summer spot at the Alter Hof is one of the top destinations for sunny days to spend time with friends.
Old charm, new events

Since early May, the gates of the Sommerquartier have been open to you again, bringing a relaxed vibe right into the heart of downtown. Under real palm trees, you can sit at small tables, stand by rustic barrels, or relax on the wooden planks of the spacious seating areas. Disco balls and string lights create a cozy atmosphere, and DJs get you in the mood. Here you can both unwind and dance.
The Sommerquartier offers refreshing drinks and small dishes, including meat, vegetarian, and vegan options. In addition, there are brunch specials on several Saturdays that bring Mediterranean flair to downtown Munich with Italian cuisine. In keeping with the World Cup, there are also public viewing events this year where you can watch Germany’s matches in the trendy atmosphere of the Sommerquartier. Before the first group stage match, you can celebrate with other soccer fans at the pre-party.
Your parties at the Sommerquartier
The Sommerquartier is generally open to everyone, but you also have the option to book the spot at the Alter Hof for your own events. It offers not only a romantic setting for a first date but also for wedding receptions. The courtyard alone seats about 155 people, but in combination with the indoor spaces, much larger celebrations are possible.
If you ’re still looking for a venue for your company’s summer party , the Sommerquartier is also a great option. In addition, you can make reservations for smaller groups and , for example, celebrate your birthday at the Sommerquartier or get to know your colleagues better during after-work gatherings.
