Pimpernel - München

The Pimpernel sits behind a bright, unmistakable red door on Reichenbachstrasse. This narrow space operates as both a bar and a nightclub, hosting parties since nineteen seventy-two. It became a sanctuary for the city's queer community during a time when such gathering spots faced constant scrutiny. While other venues in Munich closed their doors to specific crowds, the Pimpernel kept its lights on late into the morning. The owner once famously kept the venue running through sheer persistence despite pressure from local authorities.
