| Last reviewed: May 2026 The Muffatwerk started life in 1837 as a pumping station and later as a municipal electricity plant; it was converted to a culture house in the 1990s and now holds the Muffathalle (the larger 1,400-capacity hall), the Ampere (the 400-capacity smaller club for indie concerts and DJ nights), the Muffatcafé (an all-day kitchen with a menu of bowls, brunch and seasonal mains), and one of central Munich's better biergartens — under chestnuts on the Isar bank, fifty metres from the Maximilianeum. The programming runs from international touring acts to electronic club nights to spoken-word readings. The café and biergarten are walk-in; the concerts are tickets-online.
Editor's Tip
Two distinct uses: weekend brunch in the café and biergarten lunch in summer (walk-in, casual); or buy a ticket for an evening Ampere concert and treat the café as a pre-show meal. Across the Isar from the Gasteig culture campus — natural pre- or post-cinema/concert evening. The biergarten is the under-thirty Munich crowd that the Augustiner-Keller and Hirschgarten don't pull.
