Goth, industrial, metal nightclubs and bars - Munich

Hi,

I go to Pulverturm a bit (Fridays = goth/80s night).

Have been to Nerodom once (more like cyber/techno goth *shudders*).

Never been to Backstage or Keller though. Any good? Any other recommendations?

Keller is OK. Been there a few times and the music has always been good. There's never been an overly long queue to get in and since it's an "indie" or "alternative" club they don't have a poncey dress code.

Also heard that Substanz is OK, but have never been there myself.

Substanz is just round the corner from me and I've been once or twice. It's deffo what I would call alternative/indie/punk. Like Planet X in Liverpool. (I know that last sentence won't help too many people but it's all I've got to compare to.)

They do live gigs very frequently and our fellow TT-er lguapo played there with his band The Scovilles.

I posted a very short review of it for the non-chat-forum bit of Toytown a while back. I just re-read it and it all still applies. Here's the review.

I've been in Substanz a few times; fun atmosphere, hottie-ness abounds. Sometimes though, and I don't follow the schedule, the place echoes with the sounds of crickets chirping on a lonely summer night... dunno what turns it on or off or why

The Titty Twister in the KPO or Kultfabrik or whatever the heck it's called now has 80's, 90's punk, metal and rock (or did a couple years ago anyway). Went a time or two and was pretty fun with some live music, classic anthems, a bartender that shot enormous, way-way-way-illegal flamethrower spouts just above the heads of the crowd, and most sensitively: caged women in pasties (not Cornish) dancing above it all. They have some evidence in their galleries.

Substanz is usually good. I've always enjoyed the Backstage and the Keller too.

Unfortunately, I haven't been to any of these places recently, as the people I know just don't seem to want to go there.

But I'd definitely be up for a night out at one of them...

A few more clubs:

Alternative Nation (Grunge, Indie, Emo, Punk, Alternative), Friday nights at Keller, free entry till Midnight.

Britpop & Indie Rock at Monofaktur, Saturday nights from 21:00.

Finally, Kings 'n' Queens has several nights:
Wednesday - Indie Rock
Thursday - Hard, Heavy & Loud
Friday - Punk & Hardcore
Saturday - "Gitarrenmucke von Melodie bis Krawall" whatever that means.

Keller's pretty good on Fridays, never gets too crowded and it's not half as pretentious as Atomic. Friday has a nice mix of "alternative" metal and indie and punk, Saturday then is 90% indie, lot of German music(Kettcar, Wir Sind Helden, Sportfreunde, Virginia Jetzt etc..) and is a bit more crowded than Friday but still a good night out. Substanz is allround good, the odd time you get a band and a decent dj. Backstage on Saturdays is best for the summer months: cheap beergarden, 3 music areas (indie, metal and punk/good time music) and a great atmosphere. Open 'til all hours. My fave on a Saturday.

Can anyone recommend any Alternative/Goth/Rock type bars in Münich? I really miss the music!!

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the link. Anything a little smaller?

See above, admin just merged this thread Pulverturm is small. Nerodom too.

Haven't been to Flex for a while, but it seems to be still going strong.

The Schwabinger 7, while more a pub than a club, is an old favourite of mine.

Ooh thanks Bludger for the tip about Flex! I haven't heard of it before, and just went to their website and looks like my cup of tea. Here's a brief overview :

Donnerstag, 'Come to the Underground' Musik: Alternative, Rock, Punk & more

Freitag, Teenage Kicks, Alternative Sounds, Musik: Alternative, Crossover, Indie, NuMetal Punk and more

Samstag, Schlangenauge - Würfelabend, Musik:70er bis heute, Rock, Independent

actually it depends on which DJ plays that night, as other DJs who play the same nights have diff music styles.

Nice to see clubs here play NIN, Life of Agony, etc !

Went to Titty Twister a few times. If you want something different and a bit wild then its the good place. If you dress up in black even better. The free tequila they dish out directly into your mouths is mad.

It is more extreme than your average chicky micky club with less trouble.

Hi everybody,

I am a new member to your community and also new to his city.
I have landed here last month and will be here for sometime.
Thanks to all of you for letting me into your forum.

As for parties I had gone to Living 4 in Ostbahnofon 31st. Heavily crowded but enjoyable english music.

Also I would like to ask weher all the pubs mentioned are in the Party area in Ostbahnof? It would be very nice if you guys can also add the location along with the name of the pub.
