Zum Wolf

Munich, Germany

Zum Wolf in the Glockenbachviertel calls itself the Home of Whiskey & Blues, a neighborhood hangout styled after American cocktail bars and juke joints. The shelves run deep in whiskey and bourbon, including the bar's own Maker's Mark Private Select edition. The house list keeps to that spirit, from the 8 Foot Punch of Jamaican and overproof rum, mandarin liqueur, lime, orgeat and nutmeg to a Smoked Old Fashioned with Buffalo Trace, Islay whisky and lapsang tea syrup, while the König Otto Spezial tops rye and Greek vermouth with champagne. The soundtrack is rhythm and blues, jazz and soul, with a vinyl night from the house records every second Sunday.
