Rock Studio is a well-hidden club close to the S-Bahn station "Hirschgarten" and the tram station…read more"Am Lok-schuppen".
The music played here ranges from rock to hard rock to (sometimes) metal. I wouldn't call it "alternative" or "indie" because the music is actually "mainstream rock", just not mainstream rock of the 21st century.
Entrance cost EUR5 on the Friday night I was there, and the bouncer was pretty friendly. I liked how crisps and pretzel sticks were offered at the bar in little glasses for free. Drink prices were fair (we must remember, this is Munich) at around EUR3.50 for most beers.
The mix of people here is extremely fascinating. Unfortunately, most of them seemed pretty unwilling to fill up the dance floor - even when the club was more or less "full", the dance floor remained pretty empty. I guess rock tunes are a little difficult to dance to...
All in all, a pretty nice place to chill if you like rock music. As for me, it's not really my cup of tea.
