Our Take
Munich's Most Disciplined Cocktail Bar
Bar Gabanyi is routinely placed in lists of Europe's best cocktail bars. Klaus Gabanyi has been pouring here since the 1990s and the bar is committed to classical cocktail discipline at the highest level.
The drinks are immaculate. The Manhattan is benchmark. The Old Fashioned uses house demerara reduction. The room is small and intentional — leather banquettes, a polished bar, dim warm lighting.
The crowd is mid-thirties Munich professionals and visiting cocktail enthusiasts. Pair with Schumann's American Bar for a complete Munich classical cocktail evening.
What to Order
Manhattan
Rye, sweet vermouth, Angostura. Stirred 60 seconds. The Munich benchmark.
Old Fashioned
Bourbon, house demerara, Angostura. Built with full discipline.
Negroni
Built classically. Stirred 60 seconds.
Sidecar
Cognac, Cointreau, fresh lemon. The 1920s classic.
