Celebrate your birthday in Munich

No plans for your birthday yet? Here's how you can celebrate it in Munich! 🎉

Cinema, bowling, karaoke and more: we've put together lots of great ideas for how you can spend this special day with your loved ones. We've also included the best rooms to hire. You're sure to find the right venue and/or activity for your next birthday party! 🧡

And before we sing "Happy Birthday" to you now, we'd rather send you...

Celebrate a karaoke party

... to the YoKoCho Karaoke Bar! Here you can get behind the mic yourself and your friends can join you. There are extra boxes that you can book for your very own karaoke party, whether it's for up to four people or larger groups. If there are more than 21 of you, you can book the two boxes "Fuji" and "Pagoda" at the same time: Then the doors between them will be opened and you'll have a party room with plenty of space to dance! If you're celebrating a birthday, you can also bring your own decorations, balloons and even cake. Cutlery is available on site. Singing, dancing, making a fool of yourself or discovering unexpected talents - sounds like the perfect birthday, doesn't it?

A movie theater just for you

If you prefer it quiet and cozy and are also a cinema fan, we have the ultimate tip for you! How about renting a movie theater just for you and your loved ones? This wish will come true at Neues Maxim. There is a large room with more than 80 seats and a small, cozy room for around 30 people. Choose your perfect room, decide on a film - either from the current program or bring your own - and enjoy your private cinema event with popcorn from the cinema or your own snacks!

Getting creative together

Enjoying your birthday in a relaxed atmosphere, creating something beautiful and chatting with friends at the same time is just your thing? In Munich, there are lots of great opportunities to get creative with your loved ones, whether it's painting, pottery, jewelry making or knitting. If you already know a studio or other location, we recommend you simply ask or check the website. Group events and birthday specials are often offered.

Our tip: paint ceramics in Paint Your Style. The concept is easy: book a table for your group, browse the shelves for your favorite ceramic item (there's a great selection!) and paint it however you like. You'll find brushes, paints, turntables and lots of other tools there. There is also a coffee machine, cold drinks and the opportunity to bring your birthday cake!

You don't just want to paint finished objects, but create them with your own hands? Then we recommend Atelier Tonga with its super friendly owner Anne Meinhardt. In addition to weekly pottery courses, private pottery events are also offered here. Come to Sendling with your group and discover your creative talent in a cozy atmosphere. We think: an absolute feel-good birthday!

Fun at the bowling alley

"I roll with my besties" takes on a whole new meaning here! If you fancy some exercise on your birthday, how about some good old-fashioned bowling? You can rent a great bowling alley at Wirtshaus Hohenwart, for example. This established pub in Giesing serves the finest Bavarian cuisine and also has a rustic bowling alley surrounded by dark wood, which you can play on with a group of up to ten people. Or you can book the entire event room with set tables, which can accommodate up to 36 people. Sounds like the perfect place for a bowling party, doesn't it?

Special walks

If you already live in a city as beautiful as Munich, it makes sense to spend your birthday in the middle of its streets and discover even more places and alleyways on guided walks. And then with delicious wine and snacks - the absolute dream combination? Then the Wine & Food Walking Tours from Munich Wine Rebels are just the thing for you. Schwabing, Giesing, Westend, Lehel - pick your favorite district, let your group show you around and treat you to the finest wines!

If you prefer suspense to relaxation, you should click through the city tours offered by Wei(s)ser Stadtvogel! In addition to culinary offerings, there are also crime thriller and crime scene activities where you have to solve exciting cases that take you through Munich's city center. Real actors turn these tours into a lively adventure. You won't forget this birthday activity in a hurry!

Learning and amazement in the museum

Our next tip is less lively but at least as impressive: how about a guided tour of the museum? There are great offers for groups at Nymphenburg Palace, among others. Here, trained tour guides and art historians will guide you through the tour of your choice - for example around the residence through the beautiful palace park with visits to the various park castles. You will truly feel like royalty on your birthday!

Are you fascinated by the forces of nature and the formation of the earth? Then a trip to the Museum of Man and Nature is perfect for you. Choose a group tour that particularly interests you and learn more about volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, evolution or climate issues together with your loved ones. Afterwards, you can make yourselves comfortable in the museum café CaféBar Limulus and talk about what particularly impressed you.

A cozy brunch in the café

Homemade granola, avocado toast, scrambled eggs,... Do these words immediately make you want brunch? Who doesn't! That's why we think so: You can never go wrong with a birthday brunch in a cute café. Especially if you're a small group who just want to make yourselves comfortable and chat. There are many places in Munich that are perfect for this - for example, Café Trachtenvogl with its unmistakable living room charm or Café Nebenan for stylish feasting with plenty of natural light.

Rent rooms

Want to do your own thing? Get a cool location and organize your birthday party just the way you like it? Okay, okay. We get it! That's why we have the best rooms for you to rent where you can have a really good time.

Starting with the ONE AND ONLY Café Kosmos - there's hardly any other place in Munich that does the shared flat party vibe so well! And the best thing is: you can reserve the entire adjoining room on the second floor for your party. Outside the cozy living room, the public bar continues to operate, while you can enjoy the hustle and bustle in your own space to your own music and with your own snacks!

Café Lozzi also has a cozy adjoining room. While books and warm lamps on the ceiling above you create a cozy ambience, you and your group of up to 20 people can sink into the soft sofa cushions and order one delicious drink after another, devour vegan snacks or the best fries - and really enjoy the Wohnzimmer Feels!

Prefer to rent an entire location? Also good! We recommend the unmistakable Maxe Belle Spitz with its brick walls, dim lighting and foosball table. You can rent the entire bar free of charge, only a minimum turnover is required. With the right atmosphere, this is sure to be quickly consumed away!

Where can you get the"best currywurst south of the white sausage equator"? That's right, at Alles Wurscht! But that's not all: the vegan options, salads, soups and cake snacks are also super tasty here. And the ambience... first class! How good that you can rent this wonderful place in Schwabing for your celebration. Whether indoors or in the cute outdoor area with the colorful chairs: Every birthday boy or girl will be happy here!

I don't know about you, but I've really got the urge to celebrate my birthday in style this year! I just can't quite decide yet... But hey, luckily you have a birthday every 12 months. So there are plenty of opportunities to try everything out. Whatever you start with: Have fun with it and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎈
