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.)

And the floor is angled higher towards the back, so the tall-person-syndrome (where a tall person stands in front of you and blocks your view to the stage...) is a lesser problem. However, even with the tilt, this venue is unusually narrow and long. In the far back where the bar stands, one wouldn't be able to see the performers. Imagine...you find a good spot within a packed crowd to stand to see the performers, squeeze your long way through the little crevices among people to get to the bar, wait long to get your drink, and then squeeze your way back AND manage to not spill your drink on someone. It is some test of wills. It might have been an isolated experience for me, but the crowd was slightly aggravating (probably because of the restricted space). I heard people arguing with one another, and some man pushed my arm away when I was trying to take a photo. If you are to catch a specific band and want a less frustrating experience, then go early. For a short person like me, there are areas to stand by the sides of the venue where one can stand higher.

DJ's that were playing some electro the last time were pretty cool too. You just have to check out their programs and pick the night that fits the best your expectations. The cocktails prices are alright( 8 euros for a long drink) entrance fee varies though, depending on the event. The venue is a bit rough inside and no real places to seat in general. Nether the less, I recommend for the good ambiance.

The venue is not too big, just how I like it. However, if it's a sold-out (or close to) show, then it can be choatic. We saw a rock band played there, and people were pushing each other, spilling beers, shouting. For me, I was engulfed within a circle of tall people that I had no chance of even seeing the band. Next time I go, a bit of better planning (go earlier) + better luck = better experience.

This particular event was standing only and despite the concert being sold out it did not feel cramped. There was a great big bar at the back of the hall and getting drinks was quick and easy. The prices for the drinks were also reasonable and the choices were ok. The acoustics in the venue were quite ok however the sound system in use on the night was a bit raspy and sounded not as clean as I would have expected. Not sure it was the venue or the choice of sound equipment that evening. Happily come back here anyday for a gig or two. Getting here is easy on the train.

The seats, by the way, are deeply padded bent-ply with wide armrests (wide enough to share). You will be comfortable here. Food and beverages are available but expensive. I tried the Proseco with Hibiscus Blood. It was terrific. The acoustics are curious. Compared to the lush, warm sound of the Munich Opera House, the sound here is crisp and detailed - perhaps a little bit too crisp and too detailed. The higher registers seems to explode through the room. Sometimes this gives life and punch to the music, but at other times it is the aural equivalent of shining a bright fluorescent light on the Mona Lisa. It must be an unforgiving place for the performers, too. The downside is that the venue itself is not an experience. Historic venues like the Opera House are themselves a feast for the mind and the senses. This venue is about presenting the performance as vividly and clearly as possible - here it succeeds admirably.
