See the TT forum for more chat about Bondi's demise
Sonnenstrasse 8, Munich city center. Tel: 089 51504680.
Directions: S-Bahn or U-Bahn to 'Karlsplatz'.
Bondi has all the decor and atmosphere you might expect of an Aussie bar. Surfboards hanging from the ceiling, yellow "beware of the Kangaroo" road signs, Aussie flags everywhere, etc. They serve Fosters as well as Irish and German beers. On the menu is Australian and International food which served until 11 pm.
Bondi Aussie bar is a popular place for watching televised sports. They show Rugby, Aussie rules, English Premier League as well as the Bundesliga, Cricket, Ice Hockey, American Football, and more.
In addition they throw different events every day of the week:
Mondays - Pub quiz night (not sure if this still happens)
Tuesdays - Student night. Selected beers and shots going extra cheap.
Wednesdays - Karaoke, for those with no shame.
Thursdays - Live music. No cover charge.
Fridays & Saturdays - Party nights with live DJ's.

Also has some great looking bar staff and last Friday a top notch live act - worth a try, but beware the drunken Aussies if you start a rugby conversation.
Posted by: "JV" at 10:29 pm on 16.Nov.2003Got a group of hard-core regulars that are often there and good for a chat. Biggest problem is that it doesn't have a helles and you have to drink Fosters or Kronenbourg. However, I think that it's the best place to watch sporting events. They have a big screen up high, meaning you don't get people in your way. I also rate the food - tasty breakfast and very good burgers. Also, unlike other Australian bars around town, they play a lot of Aussie music.
Posted by: hazza at 11:09 am on 17.Nov.2003Great Bar and some great looking waitresses, grubs good too! Had a blast there watching rugby world cup final! Worth a visit! Joe.
Posted by: "Joe Gruber" at 9:03 pm on 3.Dec.2003cracking barstaff, truly cracking, most would knock you dead.
Posted by: "alan" at 5:06 pm on 19.Dec.2003overpriced, no atmosphere, never very busy, bad music (mostly), no decent German beers, need I say more?
Posted by: "fred" at 6:00 pm on 2.Jan.2004My son Jaxon works there and he is the best and spunkiest barman this side of the black stump.
Posted by: "Guy Bradley" at 3:38 pm on 27.Jan.2004Best pub in town by a country mile. Good Aussie beer, great food, friendly staff and a great group of regulars. Greg is great, even if he does support Chelski!! Watch out for DJ Ray Von, if you like manchester music, he is the man!!
Posted by: "Grant" at 1:24 pm on 6.Feb.2004Had a falling out with the Manager last time I was in - I won't be going back. The place is a dump.
Posted by: "Anonymous" at 10:58 am on 6.Jul.2004Maybe if they shut bondi down and turned it into a starbucks/SFCC/coffee fellows it could be a place with a little more atmostphere. Went in there last night - if it wasnt for the live music(which was quite good) the place would have been better served as a morgue. With no airconditioning, and warm apfelschorlee the place was like a sauna last night - I hate to think what it would have been like if it had been full - but I guess thats not too much of a problem. Top marks to them for showing the rugby, I guess thats how they keep their business. With expat bars struggling in munich, you'd think bondi would make more of an effort.
Posted by: "nursey" at 9:58 am on 18.Jul.2004Good to see You guys goin strong - Spent my last days in Munich there - great crowd. Kev
Posted by: "kev" at 4:00 pm on 16.Sep.2004good, bar, stumbled into it my last night in Munich, I guess it was 80's night or something, good times, still the only bar where a chick got me drinks and gave me my own personal tour of munich, holds a special place in my heart haha...
Posted by: "anthony" at 4:13 pm on 6.Oct.2004That must have been the crappest toasted sandwich I have ever ate!!!! Or maybe that's just the Tazmanian version of a toastie?!?!
Posted by: "Anonymous" at 10:37 pm on 13.Oct.2004Was in the Bondi the other night when a kangaroo walked in and ordered a beer !!!. The bartender charged the kangaroo 10 euros and said "You know, we don't get many kangaroos coming in here." The kangaroo then turned to him and said, "At 10 euros a beer, it's not hard to understand." !!! :-))
Posted by: "Roo" at 1:38 pm on 14.Oct.2004I'm not quite sure why you would bother to bag a place and then stay anonymous. You are weak as piss you lot. Get a life! Oh shit I put my name down.
Posted by: "John" at 11:06 am on 14.Nov.2004Happy birthday Greg. You looking pretty fit for 43. JB
Posted by: "John" at 11:08 am on 14.Nov.2004I used to like the bar but thought it went downhill after Greg left. It was a good place to watch sport, have a few beers in a relaxed environment and the pizza was good too. Will miss the Karaoke nights. The Australian Ball last year was probably the best night there. The German guy who took over management this year didn't have a clue. Bondi Bar R.I.P.
Posted by: "Craigo" at 2:10 pm on 12.Jun.2005Downhill? Didn't think the place could stoop any lower to be honest. Had a few good nights there, and the food wasn't bad, but overall Bondi's demise is no great loss.
Posted by: Jimbo at 10:55 am on 13.Jun.2005Yeah the bondi sucked usually, but it's still sad that one of the few english places in this town went down.Seems like there's always tons of germans in killians..
Posted by: "surfbaby" at 2:15 pm on 2.Jul.2005Was there soon after it opened in early 2002, pity it's gone, maybe would have done better in a more 'pub' location, ie toward Rathaus, Im Thal. Back to 'Outland', I guess, and the other one, downstairs, opposite the Irish pub
Posted by: "amanda" at 1:18 pm on 3.Jul.2005bar closed! :-(
