Munich inspires: new rooftop bar with a spectacular view!

The new rooftop bar “Frei Schwimmer” has opened in the heart of Munich, regardless of whether you come from the city or have come from abroad. After extensive renovation work that cost millions, a former swimming pool has been transformed into a hot spot for night owls and sun worshipers. Bar manager Andrea Gioffreda and his team rely on a combination of outdoor pool and beach bar elements - and it's something to be proud of. The opening took place in mid-June and is already causing a sensation among Munich's night owls.

The location of the Frei Schwimmer Bar in the Hotel Cocoon on Lindwurmstrasse is optimally chosen to enjoy a fantastic 360 degree view of St. Paul's Church, the New Town Hall and the Alps. Palm trees, deck chairs and comfortable furnishings with low and high tables invite you to linger. And what is on offer? At the weekend, visitors can look forward to a brunch menu - a must for late risers and connoisseurs. The menu will soon include classic outdoor pool fries, which are a welcome refreshment in the summer heat.

Special features and drinks

In addition to delicious cocktail classics such as the Espresso Martini for 15 euros and the Gin Basil Smash for 14 euros, the Freischwimmer Bar's drink menus also include our own creations - each a delight in its own right. A very special focus is on the “Bademeister’s Favorites”, which also includes the free swimmer, an exciting mix of tequila, Blue Curacao and coconut syrup for only 14 euros. If you like it fruitier, you're best served with a Frozen Aperol Spritz for 12 euros. The “Spritz Palme”, which delivers 12 glasses for 111 euros, is particularly popular – ideal for a celebration with friends.

The Frei Schwimmer Bar has quickly made a name for itself in the Munich bar scene, and Johannes Eckelmann aptly says: “Rooftop bars are the place to be”. This trend is unmistakable, as the range of rooftop bars in Munich is constantly growing. In addition to the Frei Schwimmer Bar, there are a variety of other attractive locations that offer breathtaking views, such as the Blue Spa roof terrace in the Bayerischer Hof or the Greta Oto in the Hotel Koenigshof.
