Backstage
Refreshingly non-mainstream, this groovetastic boîte has a chill night beer garden and a shape-shifting line-up of punk, nu metal, hip-hop, dance hall and other alt-sounds, both canned and live. The Free & Easy festival (bands, movies and comedy) in August and September enjoys cult status among clued-in locals.

Substanz
About as alternative as things get in Munich, this low-key, beery lair gets feet moving with house to indie to soul, tickles your funny bones during the English Comedy Club (first Sunday of the month) and brings out edgy wordsmiths for the SRO (standing-room-only) Poetry Slam (second Sunday).

Café Central
This hip bar-cum-literary salon recreates the early 1900s with antique velvet sofas, flock wallpaper and Persian carpets. There are comedy shows, public readings, films or lectures on many evenings, but the decor means it's always worth a visit.

Kressles Mühle
Behind Helsinki Bar, this cultural centre housed in an ivy-covered 13th-century flourmill is a lynchpin of the city's creative community, with a schedule that ranges from poetry slams to stand-up comedy, meditative gonging and folk dancing.

Quatsch Comedy Club im Café Keese
The Keese has had a chequered career. It went from being a dance hall to pick-up bar with table telephones. Now it's a comedy club run by Thomas Hermann, a (smiling) face frequently seen on German TV.
