Madonna Mania at 2Rooms
Munich has a very open Gay scene with one part of the city completely dedicated to gay clubs, bars and "special interest" stores. Walk into any bar and you'll be greeted with a swank crowd dressed to the 9s, sipping on delish cocktails and dancing to great music. I must say that gay clubs really do have the best music to dance to.
So what is one of my favorite places to go with all my favorite men? MADONNA MANIA at 2Rooms Club and Lounge, hands down. This exclusive bar's entrance is graced with a red carpet and ropes, where a handsome doorman lets you in. Walking down the stairs to the underground floor, Madonnas voice reaches your ears, getting clearer as you enter the bar itself. A large space is surrounded by elevated platforms where drinkers and dancers can sit and relax on low brown leather couches. Andy Warhol style portraits of Madonna hang from the ceiling, proving who owns the bar on this night.The walls are lit in different colors as Madonna's music videos play on large screens all around you. Leading from one of the platforms is a catwalk, which of course is swarmed with dancers within a couple hours.
Sitting at the large, square bar at one end of the dance floor, you'll probably notice a man and a woman enter in incredibly provocative S&M clothing. These sexy people dancing on the bar are the professional dancers who keep the party going. If you have the confidence, jump up and dance alongside them.
If you're a smoker, you can either head outside and chat to those around you while enjoying your ciggie or head into the smoking club. As it is a club, you do need a membership. How do you get one? Beats me.
Opening it's doors at 10pm, cover is 10€ and drinks are free until 12am. Cocktails, shots, beer, whatever you like. Afterwards, drinks cost just about as much as they would at any other bar. After about 1pm, Madonna's music subsides for a bit as the DJ serves up a fantastic array of music.
If you'd like to up the ante, Madonna Mania offers a Limo pick up service for 5 people, VIP entrance and a bottle of Moet champagne for 299€.
