This is one of the historic core's most animated and convivial bars. It seems to attract a wider range of clients than most other watering holes in Munich. The setting is the ground floor of an imposing, 19th-century building close to the Marienplatz. The large room, outfitted with antiques and warm colors, is in the style of an Edwardian-era club in London and suggests a living room in a comfortably battered but upscale private home. There's also a restaurant offering Italian-inspired cuisine, serving fixed-price eight-course meals that cost 30€ to 40€ ($36-$48). The bar is open nightly from 6pm to 3am, with the last order accepted in the kitchen at 1am.
