A Treat for Special Moments: A Career at Bergson

Want to experience a spectacular atmosphere at the new “place to be” for art, culture, concerts, cuisine, and events? Looking for appreciation, warmth, and good vibes? Then join our young, dynamic team and help shape the story of our Bergson Kunstkraftwerk!

Since April 2024, we’ve been welcoming guests to the 20,000 square meters of the Bergson Kunstkraftwerk in Munich’s Aubing district and inspiring them with our offerings. From the extraordinarily diverse cultural program, which includes concerts of all musical genres (from classical to techno), parties, family performances, talk shows, lectures, and much more. From the visual arts, which we showcase across an exceptionally large space. From the quality and modern variety of cuisine offered by our dining outlets (restaurant, bar, daytime bar, beer garden, outdoor terrace, and soon a live music club) , which cater to every taste. And the unique atmosphere that Bergson exudes as an exclusively bookable venue for private and corporate events, thanks to its hyper-flexible space concept, state-of-the-art technical equipment, and architectural beauty.

Our guests can enjoy culinary delights not only in our restaurant (90 seats), the day bar (100 seats), other bars (40 seats), our live club (90 seats), the outdoor terrace (130 seats), and the beer garden (500 seats), but also through our diverse event catering for small and large gatherings at Bergson (up to approx. 1,000 guests). With reliable, consistent quality and innovative culinary creations, we cater to every taste—from modern interpretations of regional cuisine to international dishes and vegetarian and vegan options.
