a.cat - Kollektiv für Kultur, Café und Kneipe

In the artist's words:

a.cat is a café, pub and cultural collective in one - an accessible meeting place in the heart of Münster where tea, bars and sounds have the same importance. Since 2024/25, the a.cat collective has been running the place (after the change from the Leo:16 collective) and is building a program that is deliberately low-threshold, solidary and community-oriented. Concerts, readings, film evenings and open meeting formats are just as much a part of it as spontaneous sessions and neighborhood initiatives: culture to participate in instead of just watching!

With the "Welcome Münster Brunch", a.cat regularly creates space for encounters between people with and without refugee experience. It is a format that shows how serious the collective is about social networking and openness. There are also regular live acts from indie to punk and singer/songwriters as well as collaborations with the local scene, making the venue a small hub for different communities. The mixture of café operations, evening program and collective structure ensures that you can drink coffee here during the day and experience culture in the evening (or combine the two).

What sets a.cat apart: Attitude and hands-on. The collective not only curates a colorful program, but also sees the place as a social infrastructure: affordable, designed to be accessible, open to engagement and always in conversation with the city. If you are new to Münster or looking for a cultural venue with a warm atmosphere, a.cat is an ideal anchor: drop by, join in and help shape the city.
