Real Munich starts after tour buses leave. Augustiner-Keller on Arnulfstraße transforms from tourist photo spot to actual neighborhood hangout by 10pm. Students flood Maxvorstadt bars like Alter Simpl on Türkenstraße. You can finally walk Marienplatz without dodging selfie sticks and glockenspiel crowds.

Late dinner culture is massive here - Gasthaus Isarthor near Isartor serves until midnight, locals actually eating not just drinking. Night trams U3/U6 run until 1am weekends so you can bar hop between Schwabing and city center. This is when Munich locals reclaim their city from the day-trip invasion.
