Um, this isn't a dive bar at all…read more AT ALL. This place is a fair trade restaurant located in a cultural exchange centre, and it happens to have a full bar. Oh, and they have a beer garden during the warmer months. The food, with commendable vegetarian options, is good and moderately priced, but won't blow you away. The wine selection here is spartan, but is also moderately priced. What's special about this place is the diversity and colourfulness of character of the patrons. If ever you are invited to spend an evening here with friends, make sure to accept, as you're sure to meet some interesting humans. This doesn't really strike me as the place to go alone to meet new people, but that could just be me. Added bonus: browse the informational pamphlets in the foyer. You just might find an activity or way to get involved in Munich that really speaks to you!

The venue is hidden among the stack of cargo containers. Once found, one is in for a treat of eclectic and eccentric art installations (e.g. a cable car attached to the ceiling or chair fixed to the ceiling). A bit of a hodgepodge but amusing to see. We went there for a DJ set, and there was ample space to move around (and there were people). Music wasn't too loud and overall it was a good time. Would definitely check this place out again for other events (concerts or theater performances).

Located within close proximity to public transport it's relatively easy to reach. They have multiple rooms in the place and they range in various sizes. The rates for room rental I have looked at were quite ok. The building itself has very tall ceilings and looks very elegant and regal. They also have catering from the restaurants on site and the food is actually quite ok. The service staff were quite friendly and all in all it was a pleasant experience.

As isolated as this place can be (i.e. no other bars or basically place to hang out within 0.5 km),…read moreBackstage offers enough to make you want to stay there. This place has multiple bars/clubs/music venues. On a weekend, one can easily go there and hop around the area for different types of music (electronic, reggae, hip hop...you name it, they will most likely have it). If you get the munchies after a long night out, no worries, there is a food stand conveniently situated there to satisfy your cravings. But I am giving 4 stars for its rock music venue (Halle). I like the size of the venue, not too big but wide enough to move around the crowd. The acoustics of the place was decent when I went (it was an indie rock concert). Prices for beers are average-priced, but they sell the local Munich craft beer (Crew Republic), which gets bonus points from me. Whether it's a concert or a dance party, it's worth the trek to go to Backstage. (Ok, it's not too much of a trek as it's still within Munich city perimeters...but I'm lazy to travel more than 20 minutes to go out.)
