Top Rated Nightlife in Munich

Pusser's is a city institution - this New York-style cocktail bar, with its old-fashioned, nostalgic decor and perfectly concocted cocktails is a favorite amongst locals and visitors alike. The drinks' selection here is marvelous. If you come to Pusser's, it's almost imperative that you try the Painkiller, a deliciously tropical combination of pineapple, grated nutmeg, coconut, fresh orange juice, and rum. There is a piano bar in the cellar, the perfect finishing touch to an evening steeped in the past.

Come explore the wild side at the Harry Klein Club! This is a venue that showcases all kinds of music from a diverse selection of upcoming DJs, VJs, and other live music artists. They also feature visual artwork and are developing a boutique that features a funky range of clothing for youngsters.

A bar dedicated to honoring the dubious legacy of the Irish-Australian bushranger by the same name, Ned Kelly's offers you the kind of drinking experience you would get Down Under. This is the place to settle down to watch rugby with a Victoria Bitter in hand, all the while munching on typically Australian dishes like the Kangaroo steak, Lamb stew and Bread and Butter pudding. Karaoke Thursdays are especially entertaining; the sight of patrons going up on stage to sing their favorite songs is a treat to watch. If you're in the mood for some real live music, you should consider popping into Kilians Irish Pub next door.

The easily accessible Kilians Irish Pub, a stone's throw away from Marienplatz City Center, strives to bring a bit of Ireland into the German city of Munich. The pub, open daily, usually has performances by Irish bands during the week, with the weekend being reserved for different genres. The attempt to introduce Ireland to the world is not restricted to the music and the food but extends to traditional Irish Ceili dancing, which is held on the first Monday of every month. Patrons can also enjoy watching major sporting events on their many televisions, of which three are on the terrace and one in the back garden.

A real Munich institution, situated in the former Royal Guardhouse and especially popular with theater-goers, Pfälzer Residenz Weinstube fills up after the theater crowd leaves the playhouses. Try specialties such as the excellent stuffed pork; it comes highly recommended. The wine-tasting bar was opened in 1950 by the Landesverband der Pfälzer in Bayern (a regional Bavarian-Palatinate association) to provide a culinary reminder of the ties between the Palatinate and Bavaria.
