Schumann’s Bar, owned by famed barkeeper and author Charles Schumann, has stood since 2003 at Odeonsplatz, later relocating from its original Maximilianstraße venue. Revered in Germany and beyond, the bar offers a sophisticated yet warm setting: wood-paneled interiors, a long counter, and an elegant terrace overlooking Munich’s Hofgarten. During the day, it operates as a polished daytime lounge serving pasta, risotto, steaks, and salads before transitioning at midnight into a vibrant cocktail hotspot. Signature drinks include Charles’s legendary Martini variations and original cocktails like the “Swimming Pool” and “French 68”. Frequented by journalists, artists, locals, and visitors, it’s a meeting place for Munich’s fashionable and discerning crowd. The venue also houses intimate sister bars: the Camparino for quiet aperitifs, and “Les Fleurs du Mal” up on the first floor—where guests enjoy one-on-one drink discussions at a nine-meter wooden bar.
