EBG Rating: 8.2/10

Choice/Quality of Drinks:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Café bar offerings, broad rather than deep, but some typical choices.

Style/Décor:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
A one off construction, with platforms built around tall mature trees allowing you to sit and spectate at mid-level. Sprawling with different areas to explore. Musical instruments on a stage opposite the main building, a little hut up on the platform, and patio furniture all in mid-brown wood.

Atmosphere/Character:
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A very distinctive and characterful venue, coming into its own on warm evenings in spring and summer during performances.

Amenities/Events:
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Live music, events, food, snacks, instruments, books.

Value For Money:
❤️❤️❤️
Typical Munich prices for the style and audience.

Description:
Made between 2019 and 2020 on the site of the former Hexenhausl, “The Witches House”, Gans Woanders is a spin off from the Gans am Wasser riverside bar. Woanders means “somewhere else”, in effect.

You’ll find a distinctive house and well-curated venue with mid-level huts and platforms built around tall trees, providing an overlook to a stage and garden. Everything appears bespoke, giving it a distinctive look.

Café by day, but there’s enough going on at night, particularly during summer for it to be worth serious consideration for an evening visit. A cultural roster of live music, poetry slams and even performance art/acrobatics, this is a versatile venue achieving it without becoming overly bland. Perhaps a little more decor in places would help establish its identity even further, but what is there works well, and as the evening approaches it takes on another character.
