This place is a Renaissance club - well-balanced, capable of fulfilling multiple roles. They call…read moreit Substanz, but it's really more like rehab, feeding both the body and the soul with sport & dance, food & drink, music & poetry.
I first came to think of Substanz as my favourite indie dance club in Munich. The people are friendly, interesting and willing to get to know new faces, and the music starts early. They do play electronic and some hip hop stuff, but save that for much later in the evening. Sometimes folks are a little bashful to start the dance party off, but I've found that just one or two people getting up when they feel the beat seems to be enough to get things going here.
Secondly, Substanz also frequently hosts poetry slams, so the young, artful souls of Munich find haunt and haven here too. Occasionally, they also host benefit parties, meaning that you can shake your groove thing and pay a small cover to go towards a great cause. Admission is €6 to the slams and the benefits are usually around €5 admission. Otherwise, there is no cover to get in here.
Thirdly, Substanz is ultimately also a bar with television screens, meaning you can come here to watch the football (soccer) game of the night complemented by the liquid gold brewed by our good friends at Tegernsee and the fairly tasty bar snacks (wings, cheese sticks, etcetera).
