    Pub Crawl

    New Munich's (in)famous Pub Crawl makes stops in five bars and clubs, includes free vodka shots and meets at the corner of Münzstrasse and Orlandostrasse.

    The Beer Tour (around €16) leaves earlier at 14:30 and takes a more, ahem, academic approach, but includes a free litre of beer and entry to the Pub Crawl…

    Zum Flaucher

    This congenial restaurant-cum-beer garden in the Isar River meadows feels a like a micro-vacation from the city bustle. The spare ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender, kids can wear themselves out on the imaginative playground and soccer fans descend for big matches beamed onto a giant screen. Take the U3 to Brudermühlstrasse.

    Netzer & Overrath

    This alt-flavoured double-pub is named for two members of the German national soccer team that won the FIFA World Cup in 1974. Overrath is the quieter one, more a daytime place where for reading, sipping coffee or snacking. After dark Netzer puts 'fun' in 'funky' with loud rock, Britpop, cold beer and a Fussball table.

    Morizz

    This mod Art Deco-style lounge with red leather armchairs and mirrors for posing and preening goes for a more moneyed clientele and even gets the occasional local celebrity drop-in. The service is impeccable, the food's good and the wine and whisky list keeps everyone happily pickled. Packed on weekends.

    Eat the Rich

    Strong cocktails served in half-litre glasses quickly loosen inhibitions at this sizzling 'meet' market where wrinkle-free hotties mix it up with banker types halfway up the career ladder. A great spot to crash when the party's winding down everywhere else. Food is served till 02:30.

    Teddy Bar

    Presided over by cuddly Fridl, this is a friendly, been-there-forever kind of bar for 'bears' and friends that still manages to stay current and cool. The crowd generally skews older and you can actually hear yourself talk. Happy hour til 21:00 Monday to Thursday.

    Ned Kelly's

    Probably the best expat and traveller scene in town, this Australian bar near the Frauenkirche has live music seven nights a week, live big-screen footy and a menu featuring much of Australasia's iconic fauna. The venue is shared with Kilian's Irish pub.

    Biergarten Muffatwerk

    Think of this one as a progressive beer garden with reggae instead of oompah, civilised imbibing instead of brainless guzzling, organic meats, fish and vegetables on the grill and the option of chilling in lounge chairs. Plus it's open late.

    Master's Home

    This is a wonderfully quirky cellar just east of the Viktualienmarkt. The off-centre décor time warps you back to the colonial era - antique furnishings, plenty of knick-knacks and oddities such as a room built around a bathtub.

    Kultfabrik

    Kultfabrik is a village of pubs, bars and clubs - nearly 40 in total - near the Ostbahnhof. They're a party animal's mecca, where you can roam from an '80s disco to hip-hop, trance and heavy metal venues.

    Alter Simpl

    This watering hole has good jazz, a reasonable menu and an art-house vibe. Thomas Mann and Hermann Hesse were among the writers and artists that used to meet here in the early 20th century.

    Roxy

    The place to talent spot and people-watch. This slick bar attracts a designer crowd keen to hang out, look good and sip cocktails. By day it offers surprisingly good food at decent prices.

    Schumann's Bar

    Urbane and sophisticated, Schumann's has been shaking up Munich's nightlife with libational flights of fancy in an impressive range of more than 220 concoctions. Great for a first date.

    P1

    A bit of a Munich institution and still the see-and-be-seen place for the city's wannabes, with extremely choosy and effective bouncers, snooty staff and the occasional celebrity.

    Bau

    Bilevel bar that's party central for manly men with nary a twink in sight but plenty of leather, Levis and uniforms. The foam parties in the small cellar darkroom are legendary.

    Seehaus

    Seehaus is a beer garden suited for families and sweethearts. It is on the shores of the park's glistening ponds.
