Ory Bar

Munich, Germany

Ory has been the bar of the Mandarin Oriental in Munich's Altstadt since 2018, a room built on fine materials, generous geometry and an avant-garde feel. Selektiv Studio designed it, down to a wall structure made for the room. The signature list maps Munich itself: Vibrant Silence, for the Isar, mixes tequila with meadowsweet distillate, hops and verjus; the Bavarian Old Fashioned, for the Wirtshaus, pairs Hibiki Harmony whisky with pretzel distillate and chocolate malt; and the Kir Royal 2.0, for Schwabing, adds parmesan to cognac, apricot brandy, cranberry and champagne. A separate list of eight alcohol-free drinks sits alongside, and the whisky and champagne selection runs deep. Sebastian Hess is partner and bar manager.
