Where Munich goes after dark — bars, live music and the late ones worth staying up for.
Hofbräuhaus am Platzl
The famous one, daily 11:00 to midnight. Brass band, thousands of visitors, and still worth one loud evening.
Augustiner-Keller
A huge chestnut-shaded beer garden near Hauptbahnhof, pouring Munich's favourite lager straight from wooden barrels.
Rote Sonne
Maximiliansplatz club with a serious electronic booking policy - Autechre one night, a free community night the next.
Bahnwärter Thiel
Shipping containers, an old U-Bahn carriage and a rail bus on Tumblingerstraße. Club nights, comedy and poetry slams.
Muffatwerk
Riverside complex on Zellstraße: Muffathalle for touring bands, Ampere for club nights, plus a summer beer garden.
