Pimpernel

Pimpernel on Müllerstraße is a Munich legend that has existed since the 1930s and counts among the city's oldest late-night bars. It gained fame not least through its connection to Freddie Mercury, who was a regular here during his Munich years in the late 1970s and 1980s. But Pimpernel does not live on its history alone — it has preserved its rough, authentic charm to this day.

The atmosphere is straightforward and direct. There is no elaborate cocktail menu and no fancy interior, but there are honest drinks at low prices and a crowd that turns night into day. The bar attracts a colorful mix of night owls, barflies, and the curious seeking authentic Munich beyond the polished surfaces. Conversations happen naturally here.

Open daily from 22:00 to 06:00, making Pimpernel the perfect destination for the late hours when other bars have already closed. The location in the Glockenbach district on Müllerstraße means plenty of other options are nearby before and after. A visit here is not an upscale evening — it is a genuine Munich experience.
