About this place Ochsengarten

Ochsengarten — the name means "ox garden" — is Munich's primary leather and fetish bar. The venue has been part of the Glockenbachviertel scene for decades and serves the leather, bear, and rubber community of Bavaria with regular themed events, a basement bar with the appropriate darkroom infrastructure, and a door policy on key nights that enforces leather or rubber dress. The Müllerstraße location puts it in the centre of the Glockenbachviertel, a street that has been the commercial spine of Munich's gay district since the 1980s. Regular events include leather nights, bear Stammtisch, rubber evenings and Munich-specific theme nights tied to the Bavarian calendar (a leather bar in Munich cannot entirely escape Oktoberfest — the lederhosen nights have their own character). For leather and fetish community visitors to Munich, Ochsengarten is the essential stop; for visitors from Berlin or Hamburg who want to understand how the scene operates in Bavaria's capital, it provides an instructive comparison.

I had a very unpleasant experience at this bar this weekend. I am visiting the city, and every bar has its own way of operating. At some point, I realized I couldn’t find my jacket. I wasn’t sure whether I had handed it to one of the bartenders or not, as I had forgotten that I had actually hung it on the coat rack near the entrance. When I asked the bartenders about my jacket, none of them mentioned that there was a coat rack available or that it was customary to leave jackets there. Not helpful at all. However, the worst part was yet to come. While looking for my jacket, a staff member who appeared to be supervising the area refused to believe that the jacket belonged to me. I explained that my AirPods were inside the jacket, but he still made me open it and prove that the AirPods were mine. I literally had to use Apple’s Find My app on my iPhone to demonstrate that the AirPods belonged to me. The entire situation felt like blatant xenophobia. I was clearly a foreign visitor, wearing a Brazil football shirt, and I cannot help but feel that I was treated with suspicion because of that. The level of disrespect was shocking. In my opinion, it was discrimination,call it xenophobia or whatever you prefer. What makes this even more disappointing is that my German husband used to live in this city and was a regular customer of this bar when he lived in Munich. A very upsetting and humiliating experience.

Every visit I made to the bar was great. Staff always friendly. I'm an American visiting Munich. . . Speaking German made a difference, a couple of the staff wanted to practice their English with me which was fine.

Visited several times over the weekend and really enjoyed. It was busy on Saturday night. A very nice, social bar with a good atmosphere, a mainly older clientele, a relaxed and friendly vibe. Definitely worth a visit.

I can't agree with the bad reviews. Mike, the bartender, was super nice. I had a fantastic evening and will gladly come back when I'm in Munich.

I had a great time here for drinks! Everyone was very kind and welcoming (even though I do not speak German). The music was good and the prices were great. It was clean and I felt very comfortable there. The next time I come to Munich, I will return to Ochsengarten 🍻
