Just for info, there's a new venue opening up on the weekend of 5.Dec.2003 on Landsbergerstr 169.

It's called "4004". It has four areas, lots of bars, etc., etc., etc.

Have a looksee at their site for details: www.4004.tv

And reviews on TT: 4004 Munich

looks like it could just turn out to be a cross between nachtgalerie and Kultfabrik. i reckon. they are only really gonna be saved by having some good djs.
but i guess we can find out on the 5th!
sparty
Let's hope it's a cross between Nachtgalerie and some place else, that means the beerprices should be low tongue.gif

I am going there on the 5th together with a bunch of Dutch people.

8 Euros. It's getting more and more expensive to go out. Mmh, but I'll give it a try one day. I mean I have to since I'm living in only 10 minutes walking distance.
sparty
8 euro's is not that bad...Atomic Cafe is 10 euro's.

10 minutes walking, is that on the way there, or after you get out of the place? tongue.gif

So who else went to the opening of the Munich 4004 arena tonight? I just got back. Too drunk and tired to comment at the moment. Here are the photos:

Meanwhile I did sober up... a bit blink.gif
I liked the place as well! Me and sparty definitely had a good time there. Good music, relatively o.k. DJ's, a good "view", etc.. biggrin.gif

Even the prices where o.k.
entrance 7.5
beer 2.5 (for a 0.3L)

BUT when we wanted to go home (at about 4am), the warderobe was a total mess!! The personal handing out the coats was gone and everybody was climbing over the counter and searching for their coats... UNBELEIVABLE!! We where lucky enough to find our coats, but it took us almost an hour! Didn't you have that problem Bob?

Next time, I won't be wearing an expensive coat, thats fur sure!

OK, am awake enough now for comments. Yeah, fantastic place. Munich 4004 - they've done nearly everything right! Great layout, great lighting. If I was to design a club it would be very similar this. Dancefloors surrounded by raised level lounging areas so that between flinging yourself around like a loon you can do some decent people watching. I loved those all those cushions - and the Hookah pipes. I've been complaining about KPO/Kultfabrik for years. This is very close to the alternative that I've been dreaming about.

I say "nearly" everything right. The biggest let down was the absolutely appalling music. At one stage I was in the main hall and they were playing Michael Jackson's Thriller. Not some modern jumped up trance-dance version mind you, but the orginal! blink.gif So I think, fine. They are advertising as catering to all tastes. So I wander through to the next hall. "Relax" by Frankie goes to Holywood. Erm, OK. Next hall, "Last Christmas" by Wham. Round in a circle and back to the main hall and we've since moved on to some German pop song that I've only ever heard at the Oktoberfest. And the place is jumpin' as all the Germans sing along. And so it goes on. The only hall which was playing consistently half decent music was the Cubatinos room. I was in there for about an hour and they had all the black stuff like Beyonce, 50 cent, Bad Boys inc, Blu Cantrell, etc. The other three halls, however, were just unbelievably bad. I guess the Germans must love it though. And the rest of you continental Europeans too. I saw you air-guitarring to Bryan Adams' Summer of 69, San. How do you live with yourself?

Just kidding. So you had fun. So did I. But if they could get in some half decent DJ's instead of this Tom Novy nonsense, as Big C suggested, then it'd be perfect. I suppose Oakenfold is too much to hope for. But Tiesto or Dick van Dyk would be enough, those two come to Munich often enough. Whatever, just a bit of trance now and again. Please!!!

Still, I guess they know what they're doing. I expected 4004 to be half empty. It wasn't. It was totally packed. Throughout the entire 4004 square meters you could hardly move. Pretty impressive. They obviously got the marketing spot on. We'll see if it continues.

As for the coats. Well, I did the usual English thing and went without. I've never understood why you Europeans insist on taking coats and bags to a club. I mean, no shit, 5,000 people hanging coats in a wardrobe? It's guaranteed to be a major headache. You always, but always, have to wait for hours in the cloakroom queue. Enduring 2 minutes of cold between taxi and club never hurt anyone.

Just saw Big C's comments in the other thread about selective door policy at Palais. Well, the 4004 arena seemed to be open door. I didn't notice anyone turned away and even the few tramps which turned up were let in. Mindyou, if you're gonna be located in the middle of nowhere, as Munich 4004 is, then I guess it's not really fair to turn people away. They have nowhere else to go (except Nachtwerk I guess). Don't believe that stuff on their website about it only being 10 minutes walk from Donnersbergerbrücke! More like 20 minutes. The directions map they have is cunningly drawn to make it look like it's just a hop away from the S-Bahn station. It's not. It's a trek. You definately wouldn't wanna walk it in the rain or the snow.

How's your neck San?

We took tram 18 there, it was not even 5 minutes walking from the tramstop.

Roight! Reckon I'll give it a bang tonite , any other losers wanna join a newbie just hit me up a PM.

It's always easy to bitch about the music. Considering the fact that it's a German disco, the music was good. O.k., they did play the usual German-stupid tracks (Nena, Michael Jackson and yes, Brian Adams as well), but with tracks like Miss Kittin (remix of Sweet Dreams) etc they def. distinguished themselfves from the usual Munich-Club.

Hey, I'd like a disco as well with MY music only (Aphex twin, 1.8.7, Death in Vegas, DJ Shadow, Trend Reznor, etc), but it's just not very realistic to expect that here.
Big C
Well it looks like I should check this place out then! Shame I didn't make it last night.
parnell
Who is Trend Reznor?

Me too, me too, I am up for going next time! It looks really cool. Shame about the music, but I guess if it has an R&B room that you can escape to then you can maintain some level of sanity!
Jimbo
Might be going this Friday if anybody's about and fancies it...
sparty
only if I can find an old coat so I don't care if it turns into another mess at the wardrobe...

@sparty - I take it the beer glasses weren't too good at the 4004 then?
Editor Bob
I meant to post this a couple of weeks ago but never got around to it, sorry about that.

4004 had their closing party the weekend before last.

I remember reading three years ago that this club had to remain open for ten years in order for the owners to recoup their investment. I guess it didn't quite work out as they planned.

As for what will happen to the premises now, I read in the Abendzeitung last week that it will remain a nightclub, but it will be renamed and redesigned. I don't know what the new name will be nor when it will open again.
