Actor Robert de Niro, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, German Hollywood blockbuster producer Bernd Eichinger and many more have enjoyed their cocktails at Schumann’s bar, but owner Charles Schumann doesn’t need to brag about who comes in regularly, as the 75-year-old is a legend himself. For his bar, his cocktails (Swimmingpool, amongst many others), books, style and for his modelling career (Baldessarini, Campari and many more)

Charles Schumann himself about the bar: “Our cuisine? The way I like to eat: five or six dishes, pasta, risotto, a good steak, a fresh salad. Schumann's is not a classic restaurant, even though people like to come for lunch or dinner. I always say we are more like a sophisticated canteen, at one of Munich's most beautiful locations – the Hofgarten. A bar? From midnight on.”

Right next to the bar is Schumann’s Camparino: “A bar, an Italian barman, a television and a few international newspapers. The Schumann's Camparino is a small ‘extra bar’ next to the main Schumann’s. The right place for a cappuccino or a glass of wine where you can have a few minutes of tranquility.”
