Cocktails & Bar Culture
Oli's Kingdom
At the heart of the Alpenstern lies Oli’s realm. Awarded the title of Falstaff Bar Jewel of the Year 2025 and listed among the Rolling Pin 50 Best Bars 2025, Bar Novum is more than just a place for an after-dinner drink. Head bartender Oliver Polster and his team view bar culture as a craft – with a passion for exceptional cocktails, homemade syrups, authentic ingredients and the perfect tipple to match the mood. Whether it’s an aromatic coffee after dinner, a long drink whilst passing through, or a fine wine from Max’s cellar – you’ll get exactly what you’re after. Only better.
What to expect
The cocktail menu at Bar Novum is more than just a drinks list. It takes you on a journey through stories, atmospheres and special creations. And yet, for some, the experience only really begins when you have a chat with Oli. He makes recommendations, improvises and mixes. Just tell him what you fancy – something fizzy, something smoky, something sweet, or something you’ve never tried before. The rest is up to him.
