Nightlife in Munich is thriving with over 6,000 licensed establishments in the city, especially in Schwabing, which is still the main quarter for students and artists. Some notable establishments are:
the touristy Hofbräuhaus, one of the oldest breweries in Munich, located in the city centre near Tal
Kultfabrik (formerly known as Kunstpark Ost) and Optimolwerke, former industrial compounds converted to host many different discos and pubs
P1 which is Munich's premier socialite discothèque
Munich's gay quarter is located in the borough Isarvorstadt, surrounding the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz, and is also known as the Glockenbachviertel
Munich's newest (as of Jan. 2010) nightlife hot spot right at the heart of Munich, stretching from Maximiliansplatz via Stachus to Sonnenstrasse, its shape resembling a ? and therefore colloqially called ? banana.
