X-Cess Bar - Kolosseumstr. 6, 80469 Munich, Germany

This is actually my favourite bar in Munich but it's never mentioned in the lists of the 25 top bars. The reason for that is probably because it's not famous for its drinks (I'm used to drink Helles when I'm there). Instead, the cool thing at Excess Bar is that you can actually sign down in a list and be the DJ for one night. And the people going there are really relaxed - not the usual posh Munich crowd!

For those who don't know Excess bar (0,5l Helles EUR 2,50!!), it's a very tiny relaxed place on Jahnstr. where you can sign up on a list, bring your own cds or vinyl and be the DJ for one night. I'm always impressed how tolerant the people in that place are cause some of the "DJs" really have a quite an unusual taste in music.

I think the name is X-cess anyhow yes it's a real nice small cosy bar. And I love the dj thingy

i love that place! it's one of those pubs where anything can happen - though I've never been there sober, it's probably a lot different during daylight

If you go to this bar you must know the main atraction!!!...wow?,you don't know it yet?...well,i'll tell you: You must be lucky and patient and maybe one night you can find and meet the most bigger bitch in München and surroundings.Her name is Verena,Verena Sophie Schulz and she is brown middle cut hair, green eyes, tall and skinny and (aparently) very "freundlich".If you are looking for a one-night-sexual-adventure she is your oportunity,but remember folks: use condom.I give you the guarantee that she allways say YES!.Good luck

aaahh..... I'll pass, but thanks- am already taken care of, in that area. But I just read about this Cafè in the "Abendzeitung" according to the New York Times, it's supposed to be a hip place. Is it really worth a visit? Anybody?

This is the place to go just before you pass out from alcohol poisoning... good end to a rough night of drinking. I wouldn't call it "hip", "grungy but quaint" would be a more fitting description.

Top bar, one of my locals, gets VERY busy. Anti hip hip iykwim. Helles € 2.50 Music pretty good most nights, none of that "loungey" shite.

This is the kind of places where in just 15m2 you're exposed to experience a change in your life...Many crazy people together supported by one howling perestroika hatted barman wich make the womans delight with lollypops by the way...oh!,if this thing i'm writing makes no sense at all that's becouse i was yesterday 'round this beautiful place. Refuse the trendy fashionable pubs-cafes-after-lounge and enjoy the last days of the true european decadence in this wonderful place. Earth to the barmans,the world needs more people like them.

it reminds me of the hipster bars in Brooklyn. Very laid-back. Cool alternative music.

This is a gem of a place. I popped by on my own last night and was promtly handed a glass of sekt and a lollipop and quickly became engrosed in conversation from all sides. The barman is a sweetheart and it's full of friendly, open people. I doubt there are many bars like this around.

A former Dönner imbis turned bar. It is always with surprises. The crowd is very casual. Not the chiky-micky style. One can enroll as a DJ and turn discs. Packed on the weekends and thursdays..a small bar and friendly staff.

one of the coolest place in münchen, it reminds me about small underground bar in berlin. the problem is that on weekdays it's more than packed: the place is so damn small! and to play there as a dj you have to book in aaaadvance.
