Gorilla Bar, Munster

Welcome to the Gorilla Bar, a beloved Munster institution nestled in the heart of the Kuhviertel district. With its no-frills, unpretentious vibe, Gorilla Bar has earned a loyal following among locals, students, and visitors alike as a cozy, relaxed pub that’s big on character rather than pretension.

Inside, you’ll find bar seating, wood-paneled walls, and a welcoming lounge feel-more like a living room than a nightclub. Whether you’re perched at the bar or chatting with friends over drinks, the service is friendly and casual. Gorilla Bar is famous for its house‑made sour schnapps offered by a secret recipe, alongside a well-curated selection of beers, straightforward cocktails, and occasional “Saurer” shots. As a Sky-certified sports bar, it broadcasts football matches and other major sporting events on large screens, making it a popular evening hangout during games.

What sets Gorilla Bar apart is its week‑after‑week programming: expect rock and indie live bands, karaoke nights, cover shows, and quirky contests-sometimes headliner acts like H‑Blockx or Donots have graced the venue in past years. Many events are ticketed, so it’s wise to check online in advance. And word to the wise: Gorilla Bar operates on a cash‑only basis, so plan accordingly.

Located just a short walk from Munster’s Diocesan Library, Buddenturm, and the Prince-Bishop's Palace Munster, it’s a convenient stop whether you’re exploring the old town or capping off your evening with some live music and excellent drinks. Whether you’re after a laid‑back drink, a sports night, or live music in a friendly local environment, Gorilla Bar delivers an authentic Munster experience.
