Ochsengarten

Über diesen Ort 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.
