Zur Gruam

Get lost in pit

"Zur Gruam" Munichis was once a place where many illegal and suspicious activities took place but has now turned into a bar, with a dangerous nostalgia.

The Flushing Meadows

Matchpoint

"The Flushing Meadows" in Munich reminds me of tennis, not a hotel with a rooftop bar. The point is that it's one of the best hidden rooftops in the city.

Valentin Stüberl

Bar with basement atmosphere

"Valentin Stüberl" in Munich is one of my favorite spots in my favorite district called Dreimühlenviertel. It's an all-season bar but I love it in Autumn.
