Since its move out of the Optimolwerke to the city centre, Harry Klein has
come to be regarded as one of the best elektroclubs in the world. Nights here are an amaz-
ing alchemy of electro sound and visuals, with live video art projected onto the walls
Kraftwerk-style blending to awe-inspiring effect with the music.
Atomic Café
(

;
Neuturmstrasse 5; from 10pm Tue-Sat; Kammerspiele)
This bas-
tion of indie sounds with funky 60s décor is known for bookers with a knack for catching
upwardly hopeful bands before their big break. Otherwise it's party time; long-running
Britwoch is the hottest Wednesday club night in town.
CLUB
Optimolwerke
(

;
Friedenstrasse 10; Ostbahnhof)
Just behind Kultfabrik, Op-
timol is another clubber's nirvana with about 15 different venues after dark. Latin lovers
flock to
Do Brasil
, while newcomer
Die Burg
keeps the party hits and classics booming
till 6am.
CLUB COMPLEX
P1
(

;
Prinzregentenstrasse 1; Nationalmuseum/Haus der Kunst)
If you
make it past the notorious face control at Munich's premier late spot, you'll encounter a
crowd of Bundesliga reserve players, Q-list celebs, the odd lost piece of central European
aristocracy and quite a few Russian-speakers too busy seeing and being seen to actually
have a good time. But it's all part of the fun and the décor and summer terrace have their
appeal.
NIGHTCLUB
CLUB
Rote Sonne
(

;
Maximiliansplatz 5; from 11pm Thu-Sun; Lenbachplatz)
Named for a 1969 Munich cult movie starring It-Girl Uschi Obermaier, the Red Sun is a
fiery nirvana for fans of electronic sounds. An international roster of DJs from the US,
Berlin, Paris, London and elsewhere keeps the wooden dance floor packed and sweaty un-
til the sun rises.
