Sascha Arnold, Niels Jäger and Steffen Werner go back a long way.

They met more than 20 years ago and soon started throwing random parties under the moniker “Typ-E” – some of you may remember. Sascha and Steffen were studying architecture and sculpture at Kunst Akademie, while Niels tackled his masters in communications – sort of, anyway. A bar job at “Buffet Kull” helped make ends meet and introduced the trio to gastronomists Kull & Weinzierl, who remain important influences to this day.

Pop-up nightclub “ZKV” in the Opera’s former ticketing location on Maximilianstraße gave the trio a first taste of entrepreneurship – it tasted pretty good.

Which is why A/J/W jumped at the opportunity to start their first own place “edmoses” in 2005. This music bar located in Munich’s Lehel district went on to shape a generation of good times. On a quest for the perfect sound experience, A/J/W then established “Bob Beaman Music Club” in 2010. Bob Beaman quickly made a name for itself as an international benchmark for top-notch house and hip hop bookings and legendary vibes. The club has continued to be one of Munich’s most popular clubs. Never not dancing at Bob’s.

In 2013 the trio created their very own interpretation of a classic cocktail bar, named “James T. Hunt” on Schellingstraße in Munich’s student district. Serving high class drinks, food and and good times seven days a week.

In February 2014 they opened Germany’s first organic liquid spot “Super Danke!”, which serves fresh green smoothies along with assorted cold-pressed juices as well as the “Super Cleanse” regimen. Super Danke! has already established itself as a local favorite and bonafide media magnet and has transformed into a franchise with stores in Munich and Innsbruck.

Plans for 2014 were somewhat absolutely megalomaniacal for A/J/W – but what are you gonna do?

In March “Stereo Cafe” was opened on famous Residenzstraße. This historic destination, which is located on the first floor above the new Stereo MUC gentswear shop, features a grand studio window and a secret sundeck-terrace along with daily lunch specials, coffee and homemade cakes as well as a fine selection of aperitifs and liquors.

June 2014 marked the opening of A/J/W’s biggest challenge yet: “The Flushing Meadows Hotel & Bar”, a design hotel in Fraunhoferstraße. 11 of the 16 rooms are dedicated to local celebrities, who got the chance to design their very own rooms.
