The Best Cocktail Bars in München, by the Record
The best cocktail bars in München, by the professional record: Difford's Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Schumann's comes out on top.
Barista Bar and Restaurant and Trader Vic's hold the next two places.

Rank 2. Trader Vic's
Tiki Cocktail Bar
Bamboo walls, puffer fish hanging from a matted rush ceiling, and hand-carved tiki poles set the mood before you've even ordered. This basement tiki cocktail bar beneath the Hotel Bayerischer Hof is the Munich outpost of the long-running global chain, which means an oversized illustrated drinks menu and tan leather banquette seating that makes the whole thing feel pleasantly, deliberately out of time.

Rank 4. Pusser's New York Bar
Cocktail Bar
Leaded windows and collegiate crests on wood-panelled walls give this old-school cocktail bar a look borrowed, quite literally, from Harry's Bar Paris, which is exactly where it started. Been around forever by Munich standards, with a jazz pianist in the basement and a members-only cigar room upstairs. The kind of place where the bartender has probably been pouring longer than most of the clientele has been alive.
