[[Nightlife]] in Munich is located mostly in the boroughs [[Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt]], [[Maxvorstadt]], [[Au-Haidhausen]], [[Berg am Laim]] and [[Sendling]]. Between [[Sendlinger Tor]] and Maximiliansplatz, on the edge of the central [[Altstadt-Lehel]] district, there is also the so-called Feierbanane (party banana), a roughly banana-shaped unofficial party zone spanning {{cvt|1.3|km|1|abbr=off}} along Sonnenstraße, characterized by a high concentration of clubs, bars and restaurants, which became the center of Munich's nightlife in the mid-2000s.<ref name="sueddeutsche_20130706">{{cite web |last=Wimmer |first=Susi |url=https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/projekt-cool-bleiben-immer-aerger-mit-der-feierbanane-1.1713916 |title=Immer Ärger mit der Feierbanane |trans-title=Always trouble with the party banana |publisher=[[Süddeutsche Zeitung]] |language=German |date=6 July 2013 |access-date=19 April 2023 |archive-date=19 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230419214205/https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/projekt-cool-bleiben-immer-aerger-mit-der-feierbanane-1.1713916 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In the 1960s and 1970s, [[Schwabing]] was considered a center of nightlife in Germany, with internationally known clubs such as [[Big Apple (club)|Big Apple]], ''PN hit-house'', ''Domicile'', ''Hot Club'', ''Piper Club'', ''Tiffany'', Germany's first large-scale discotheque [[Blow Up (club)|Blow Up]] and the underwater nightclub [[Yellow Submarine (club)|Yellow Submarine]],<ref name="mjunikdisco">{{cite book |last1=Hecktor |first1=Mirko |last2=von Uslar |first2=Moritz |last3=Smith |first3=Patti |last4=Neumeister |first4=Andreas |date=1 November 2008 |title=Mjunik Disco – from 1949 to now |publisher=Blumenbar |isbn=978-3-936738-47-6 |language=de}}</ref><ref name="ertl">{{cite book |last=Ertl |first=Christian |title=Macht's den Krach leiser!

Since the 1980s, however, Schwabing has lost much of its nightlife activity due to [[gentrification]] and the resulting high rents, and the formerly wild artists' and students' quarter developed into one of the city's most coveted and expensive residential districts, attracting affluent citizens with little interest in partying.<ref name="mitvergnuegen_nisslmüller">{{cite web |url=https://muenchen.mitvergnuegen.com/vergnuegte-viertel/schwabing/ |title=Vergnügte Viertel: Schwabing damals und heute |trans-title=Fun neighborhoods: Schwabing then and now |last=Nisslmüller |first=Sabine |publisher=Mit Vergnuegen |access-date=19 April 2023 |archive-date=19 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230419214744/https://muenchen.mitvergnuegen.com/vergnuegte-viertel/schwabing/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Since the 1960s, the ''Rosa Viertel'' (pink quarter) developed in the [[Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt#Glockenbachviertel|Glockenbachviertel]] and around ''Gärtnerplatz'', which in the 1980s made Munich "one of the four gayest metropolises in the world" along with San Francisco, New York City and Amsterdam.<ref name="stankiewitz">{{cite book |last=Stankiewitz |first=Karl |date=May 2018 |title=Aus is und Gar is |publisher=Allitera Verlag |isbn=978-3-96233-023-1 |language=de}}</ref> In particular, the area around [[Müllerstraße]] and ''Hans-Sachs-Straße'' was characterized by numerous gay bars and nightclubs. One of them was the [[Travesti (theatre)|travesty]] nightclub ''Old Mrs. Henderson'', where [[Freddie Mercury]], who lived in Munich from 1979 to 1985, filmed the music video for the song ''[[Living on My Own]]'' at his 39th birthday party.<ref name="stankiewitz"/><ref name="mitvergnuegen_schauberger"/><ref name="BR_20211004">{{cite AV media |title=Sechs Jahre hat Freddie Mercury in München gelebt – eine Spurensuche |trans-title=Freddie Mercury lived in Munich for six years – a search for clues |url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/YqhkiNg1OPg |publisher=[[Bayerischer Rundfunk]] |type=documentary |language=de |date=4 October 2021 |access-date=29 December 2022}}</ref>

Since the mid-1990s, the ''Kunstpark Ost'' and its successor ''Kultfabrik'', a former industrial complex that was converted to a large party area near [[Munich East station|München Ostbahnhof]] in [[Berg am Laim]], hosted more than 30 clubs and was especially popular among younger people from the metropolitan area surrounding Munich and tourists.<ref name="stankiewitz"/><ref name="munichfoundcom">{{cite web |title=Corpus Techno: The music of the future will soon be history |url=http://www.munichfound.com/archives/id/27/article/496/ |publisher=MUNICHfound.com |access-date=5 February 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170206184555/http://www.munichfound.com/archives/id/27/article/496/ |archive-date=6 February 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The Kultfabrik was closed at the end of the year 2015 to convert the area into a residential and office area.

Munich nightlife tends to change dramatically and quickly. Establishments open and close every year, and due to gentrification and the overheated housing market many survive only a few years, while others last longer. Beyond the already mentioned venues of the 1960s and 1970s, nightclubs with international recognition in recent history included ''Tanzlokal Größenwahn'', [[The Atomic Café (club)|The Atomic Café]] and the techno clubs [[Babalu Club]], [[Ultraschall]], {{nowrap|[[KW – Das Heizkraftwerk]]}}, {{nowrap|[[Natraj Temple]]}}, {{nowrap|[[MMA Club|MMA Club (Mixed Munich Arts)]]}}, ''Die Registratur'' and ''Bob Beaman''.<ref name="zeitmagazin">{{cite news |first=Paulina |last=Thillmann |url=https://www.zeit.de/zeit-magazin/2017/49/technoclubs-schliessung-bundeslaender-deutschlandkarte |title=Deutschlandkarte: Legendäre Clubs |newspaper=Die Zeit |trans-title=Germany map: legendary clubs |publisher=[[Die Zeit|Zeitmagazin]] |date=29 November 2017 |access-date=20 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180411005217/http://www.zeit.de/zeit-magazin/2017/49/technoclubs-schliessung-bundeslaender-deutschlandkarte |archive-date=11 April 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref> From 1995 to 2001, Munich was also home to the [[Union Move]], one of the largest [[technoparade]]s in Germany.<ref name="ertl"/>
