While searching for bars in the area, I stumbled upon Pusser's. A classic gem and supposedly the oldest cocktail bar in town, best known for their Painkiller. I have to admit, the Painkiller was pretty good! Definitely worth a try! The bartender was friendly and had some great recommendations, which made the experience even better! Downstairs is a piano bar with live music which was pretty awesome. The bar played old 1950s music. Keep in mind, the cocktail menu is extensive, almost like a book! The bar is well worth checking out if you're into classic cocktails and a laid-back, timeless vibe. read more

This bar was ok. The drink menu had many options but was basic. The taste was average. The service was friendly and no complaints there but not impressed by the drinks. read more

One of the only spots that's open pretty late during the weekday in Germany. New York themed bar. Good selection of drinks. Our waiter was nice but the management was extremely rude. read more

One of the best times I've had in Munich in this cocktail bar. The bar tenders "der Doctor" and Michael were the best. They spoke English and German equally as well. My wife had a Pain Killer ( medium strength) and I was drinking Gin and Tonic's. Watching "der Doctor" mix drinks was very entertaining as well as talking with the other customers. We've been to Pussers in Annapolis and had a good time also. The owner of this location, who was sitting at the end of the bar, said he had worked in the Annapolis location before, so he said. He was a bit drunk and loud but after a while he left and the atmosphere returned to fun/normal. We stayed for another drink. The place is right around the corner from the Hofbrau house. And so different! To many Asian tourists at the Hofbrau house. Only fun people at Pussers! Try it, you'll like it! read more

A perfect find in München! It's probably a good thing that I don't live close by or I might turn into a character like Norm from Cheers and just camp at this outstanding bar! It's so hard to find great cocktails but that's just what Pusser's delivers and all in a super cool looking place. An awesome collection of bourbon, too! If you like great cocktails and/or just a cool bar, this is THE spot! read more

my favorite thing about here is their name!! actually maybe it's the pusser's rum. my drink was expensive (by american standards) but delicious! i had a nice time catching up with friends and this place was the right vibe for us. we were sitting at the bar and could easily get the bartender's attention and hear each other speak. definitely a must-visit if i can come back to munich again! read more

Cocktails are quite good and the ambient is nice (downstairs at the piano bar). However, it is a little bit pricey and service is mediocre (slow and unable to handle the payments in a group since we ended up paying one of the cocktails twice...). I had the "Painkiller" which I didn't like that much. read more

If your ever in Munich, and you need a cool atmosphere to enjoy a cocktail, this is your spot. The staff and concoctions are amazing and worth the wait if they are full. We end up here just about every night at some point when in Munich. read more

Horrible place. The servers have an awful attitude( but not a New York attitude just truly awful). This New Yorker(me) can attest this was not a NY experience. Ending up just walking out. Never again. read more

Really enjoyed this place. The menu is huge and the bartenders friendly (with good English). They also served us tap water and refilled it!! Their signature drink, medium strength, is amazing - so frothy and fruity and strong and delightful! The Manhattan and sidecar were well made too. Love the atmosphere in here, and if I'm ever back I'd stop in. read more

Had a great time at this bar with some Guinness on tap and a huge menu of drinks. Didn't try the Painkiller but managed to get a Japanese whisky that wasn't on the menu. Place is small and has great ambiance and managed to get a hot pastrami sandwich while I was there. read more

This is so my kind of place incredibly cool yet understated. A quite bar in the back lanes of the city centre that serves awesome cocktails. I had the pain killer #3 and yes you can't have too many of these as they are pretty potent. Served in an enameled steel cup (just like the prison mugs) but delicious. There is an extensive cocktail menu, piano bar downstairs and waiters that are dressed in white and looking cool but casual :-) The atmosphere is fabulous (it's the only way I can describe it). Great place to take out a first date or just go for a late night cocktail. This is quintessential Europe for me and I love it :-) Will be back again for sure ;-)) read more

Visited late-night while in Munich for Oktoberfest. Felt like having a cocktail rather than more beer. Venue is listed as a "New York bar." It's not far from Hotel Platzl and Hofbrauhaus. Sat at the bar and we were quickly greeted by an English speaking bartender. We tried a sazerac and a Manhattan. Both were well done. Didn't sample food this time. Visit was brief, but enjoyable. read more

Terrible tourist trap. I don't understand where it gets it's reputation because the drinks, including the signature painkiller, are disgustingly oversweetened and poorly mixed. Tacky decor, too. read more

Magical! Fabulous drinks, atmosphere, history. So glad we were able to get in! Memorable night!

Loved it here! Especially the piano lounge!!! Will definitely revisit when I return to Munich.

Pusser's is an institution if your in the Caribbean on Tortola and a must visit. But if your in Munich and you want to get away from the craziness of the HB House go to Pusser's! it's less than a 2 minute walk from the HBH and all the tourists and their beer drinking. It on a very quiet street around the corner, look up for the sign and your there. inside is a bit small but not to small and the bartenders are very friendly and pleasant to talk with. The painkiller is the drink of the house and there's a reason for that. It's the same recipe if your on Tortola or your in Munich and it's VERY good. Check out the list of other specialty drinks that they make, and make well. read more

I'm so disappointed in this bar. It was #1 on my list of bars to visit during my visit to Munich. Four friends and I grabbed a table on a weeknight downstairs next to the piano player. There was one other table of two, so we figured it would be a nice place to enjoy some cocktails. The server came over for our drink order and refused to serve us because one of my friends was not drinking and therefore was not ordering a cocktail. I will not recommend this bar to anyone until they learn the meaning of customer service. read more

One of the very first bars I've been to while in Munich. The staff was nice, and Dominic the bartender was lovely. He made a great Manhattan. I was also able to try the painkiller & bought one of the glasses to take home as a souvenir. Fun experience :) read more

The vintage Pusser's If you are looking for an authentic lady/gentleman's bar: Pusser's is made for you! Find it in a little alley, after leaving the crowded street of the famous Munich Hofbräuhaus (that you leave to the tourists). Don't be shy, enter in this paradise of cocktail delicatesses, where the skillfull bartenders are preparing a good old dirty martini for you at the bar. The friendly hosts will welcome you in a cosy vintage american's decor, where a real jazz pianist is playing every weekend! Don't forget to book in advance on weekends, as it's a good address that the wise Münchners share. My advice : try the frozen drinks in the summertime (with a ball of ice inside!) and warm grogs during winter! read more

This is the perfect place for a top cocktail in Munich. Almost every restaurant and "lounge" will have a mojito or mediocre caipirnha on their menu, but here the cocktail menu is practically a book. You'll see lots of classics and it's a good opportunity to try some old-school drinks that you don't see so often anymore (Aviation is my personal favorite of those). The grog and Painkiller(s) are also quite good and rightfully local legends. They do have a small bar snacks menu. The chili con carne is a good small bite if you're there later and know not much will be open for food when you leave. The service is usually really friendly. Can seem "slow" on a busy night but the bartenders really do put a lot of care into making you a great drink so be patient. But as you can imagine it gets packed on weekends. Doesn't hurt to call ahead to try and reserve a table, especially if it's more that 2 people. If it's just 2 of you, it's more likely you'll find a spot. If you can go during the week the mood is a lot more relaxed. read more

Best cocktails in Munich. So good, I'm literally going to take a pause here, go out in the rain to have a couple Old Fashioneds, and then finish this when I come back. *** Three weeks later *** Okay, that took a little longer than expected. Where was I? Soothing yet potent beverages? Ahh, yes, Pusser's. This place has the most professional bartenders in the city. They know their drinks inside and out, they make them correctly, accommodate requests without batting an eye, and the house specials are creative liver-punchers yet soft as feathers. Besides the old classics - this place makes the best Old Fashioneds and Manhattans in town - you can start the evening slowly with a "Painkiller", or immediately consign the evening to a high chance of blackout with a "Painkiller No. 4". There are no judgments here - just good ol' fashioned bartending at its finest. Oh, and did I mention this is a navy bar? That's right. For all you mariners out there, come here to feel at home back in the galley. Of course, you'd then have to order that fine institution of maritime intoxication, Grog. It's served in a mug, which is available for purchase and a good souvenir, but it is chilled. Now let's say you've got your captain's cap, your smoking jacket, your classy-as-hell cocktail, and your beautiful lady. Assuming you're not Hugh Hefner, all that's missing is what? Two points if you said jazz piano. Five points if you make a reservation in advance to make sure you get seating downstairs. Ten points if you somehow get seating down there without a reservation (and are still not Hugh Hefner). Come here. Just don't crowd me out of my favourite bar. read more

Pusser's Rum bar is great ! Their signature drink is the Painkiller, a favorite of Tropical / tiki drink fans! They pride themselves on their cocktails-you will get a good-natured ribbing if you order a beer! A small place (but they do have two other floors when needed), we had a blast here. More Painkillers ,please! read more

Sometimes you get to the point where you simply cannot stomach yet-another-giant mug o'beer and need to explore other alternatives to get your recommended daily allowance of alcohol. Pussers has a fantastic Manhattan -- and a great selection of bourbon that can be used to make your Manhattan. if you are inclined toward rum, the Painkiller cocktail will give you a little blast of memory from your last island holiday. read more

Love the painkiller! Just around the corner from hofbrauhaus and cool little place. Drinks are strong but a little dark in there. You have to be sitting in a spot to get service - will not stand while standing at the bar read more

Pusser's Bar is depicted as a "New York" bar, which I found somewhat ironic as I didn't get this "Ah, it feels like home!" feeling when I first entered. The place is a little tacky with all the maritime decor to the point where there is a life-sized boat hanging on the ceiling. However, I did see a minute bit of NY charm in the basement of the bar, which is a piano bar occupied by an old man playing his tunes. We wanted to check him out, but it was packed so upstairs we stayed. Service was hit-and-miss but friendly and patient. It was easy for me to pick my drink as it was mentioned by many (friends, Yelpers, and the bar itself) that their specialty Painkiller (Pusser's self-made rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and coconut cream) is the drink-to-try. Depending on how much you want to "kill your pain," the Painkiller comes with different amounts of rum (Painkiller No. 2 having the lowest amount of rum...Painkiller No. 4 having the highest. Where's No. 1??). I tried the No. 2, and I couldn't taste the rum like I was drinking a tropical fruit punch. They only serve very small snacks (chips and salsa, olives, etc.), which was so-so. New Yorkers, enter at your own risk. read more

We had a great time at this place. We were looking for a cocktail bar since we had been drinking so much beer at the Oktoberfest and needed a break. This was exactly what we were looking for. The painkiller was an amazing drink. We had quite a few and even got one for take away. Would definitely go back many times again. read more

Loved this place!! Excellent atmosphere, delicious cocktails and the bartenders super nice!! Will definitely go back!!

I really love Pusser's. When I visit a new city, I love to find my "home" bar, and twice now while in Munich, Pusser's has done the job. The bartenders are amazing and remember the patrons, even if only a guest for a few days. The drinks are stiff, just like we like 'em. The location is easy. The piano playin' is aplenty. What else can I say, this is a prime spot for some Munich drinking. read more

Really nice bar, I liked to enjoy a good whisky with my friends here ! They served the whisky in a whisky nosing glass, not in a tumbler and that's a really good point for me ! The atmosphere is really good, it's vintage and great ! read more

Read the reviews and was intrigued to try this place out. Place was practically empty when I arrived at 11 PM. Tried the famous house drink, the pain killer. They went to meticulous detail to make this and all the other cocktails. Definitely trying to make a reputation on the experienced bartenders. Drink was good but overpriced. Very similar to tropical drinks at other bars. I would go again if my group was going, otherwise I would try a new place. read more

We had a great time a this place. Johnny Mathis and Brat Pack music playing in the background, a very polite and courteous bar staff....this was a happy place. After days of beer, a real drink was much appreciated! This is a great little vacation for an American on vacation! read more

First attempt to enter and we were greeted by a rude man and he did not seem to care if we were there or not! We finally made it in and greeted by a second rude man.. his name was Gregger (sp). Bar tender was kind and drinks were good. We thought we would try again the next night for a night cap to give the establishment the benefit of the doubt . To our disappointment we were once again greeted by Milos who was equally as rude as Gregger and YES Gregger was there the second night. Needless to say we left and have no intention on returning for a 3rd attempt! I gave a star to the (pain killer) and the second star to the kind bartender!! read more

We came here for a drink late night while on vacation in Munich from the US. The bartenders were perhaps the nicest I've ever encountered in Europe and both spoke good English. Drinks were amazing and we even met a an American soldier who we had a great time talking with. Highly recommend this bar. read more

Great spot: nice atmosphere, delicious drinks and dedicated baristas. We had an Old Fashioned which was very smooth. And a "Butterfly" something which was a bit too sweet but still tasty. read more

The bar is great. The bar tenders know their stuff. I got the Painkiller no. 3. It was really good, even if it wasn't worth all the hype. If you want a break from all the beerhalls, this place is a good bet. English-friendly. Prices seem reasonable, but obviously a good cocktail is going to be more expensive than a beer in this town. read more

Weak drinks and shady service. All for an 11EU Moscow mule. You have got to be kidding me!

Do NOT go to this bar if you are not German. We were 5 ladies and my friends and I were shoved and disrespected by the waitstaff. They were rude and horrible!! Please disregard all good reviews for this bar!! I can tell you any positive reviews were made by the people who own the bar!!!! read more

This is great local gem that offers you an authentic and exciting not-at-all local experience! Drinks are great, the atmosphere is amazing, and the staff makes you never want to leave (for all good reasons). Highly recommend! read more
