Ludwigsvorstadt

This is where Munich’s party hostels cluster, just south of Hauptbahnhof. The streets around Sonnenstrasse and Landsberger Strasse are packed with bars, kebab shops, and late-night convenience stores. It’s a 10-minute walk to Marienplatz, but the nightlife here is cheaper and more backpacker-friendly than the city centre.

Altstadt

Munich’s old town is tourist central, with Marienplatz at its heart. The streets are lined with beer halls, souvenir shops, and expensive cocktail bars. It’s great for sightseeing but pricey for drinking: expect €7 pints and €12 cocktails. The area quiets down by midnight, except during Oktoberfest.

Schwabing

North of the city centre, Schwabing feels like Munich’s student district. The bars here are cheaper: €4 pints aren’t uncommon: and the crowd is younger. Leopoldstrasse is the main drag, with clubs and pubs spilling onto the pavements. It’s a 15-minute tram ride from Hauptbahnhof, but worth it for the vibe.

This hostel bar is the default starting point for most backpackers. Happy hour runs from 8pm to 10pm, with €3 vodka sodas and €4 pints of Paulaner. The crowd is a mix of hostel guests and locals who’ve heard about the cheap drinks. By 11pm, the dance floor fills up, and the music shifts from indie to cheesy pop.

Jaeger’s is a five-minute walk from Wombats and feels like a step up: think dim lighting, craft beers, and a crowd that’s slightly older. Their daily specials, like €5 Aperol spritzes, draw a steady stream of travellers. The bar gets packed by 10:30pm, especially on weekends when a DJ spins house music.

P1 is Munich’s most exclusive club, but if you dress sharp and arrive before midnight, you might get in. Expect bottle service, house music, and a crowd that’s equal parts wealthy locals and curious tourists. Entry is €20, but it includes a drink. The queue starts forming at 11pm: don’t show up in trainers.

Schumann’s is a cocktail bar with a speakeasy vibe, tucked away near Odeonsplatz. The menu is pricey: €12 for a classic mojito: but the bartenders know their stuff. It’s a great spot for a pre-club drink or a late-night cocktail if you’re avoiding the hostel crowd. Gets busy after 9pm, so arrive early for a seat.

Backstage is a rock and metal club with cheap drinks and a no-frills attitude. Entry is €8, and pints cost €4.50. The crowd is a mix of students and backpackers, and the music leans toward punk and metal. It’s a 10-minute walk from Hauptbahnhof, making it a convenient stop after a pub crawl.

If you’re in Munich during Oktoberfest, this camping site is a must. For €15 a day, you get unlimited beer and sangria, plus access to after-parties with live bands and DJs. The site is a 20-minute tram ride from the city centre, but shuttles run to the festival grounds every 30 minutes. Bring cash: cards aren’t always accepted.
