As music is the primary focus of Menza pri koritu, concerts take place on an almost daily basis. In terms of genres, their repertoire is not bound by any of them. There are two regular serials called ''Džez pri koritu'' and ''Punk pri koritu'' – while the later is obviously hosting punk rock music, the former is more or less focused on the more adventurous and loud strains of jazz music. Besides these two, a sizeable part of the programme is dedicated to alternative rock acts, and also to metal music, various experimental electronics, noise, folk, hip hop, electronic dance music and to a number of other musical expressions that hover somewhere in-between. To name notable international acts would be useless, as the list would be far to long even if it would be kept very short. | As music is the primary focus of Menza pri koritu, concerts take place on an almost daily basis.

Background and management
The venue grounds were an empty space, mainly used by skateboarders until September 2000, when KUD Mreža Arts and Culture Association and the Society for the Protection of Atheistic Feelings (DZAČ) converted it into a club. The stage – and later the wooden upper gallery – was constructed by the volunteer craft group Axt und Kelle from Germany and Switzerland. In the following decade, the managing collective took some time to form the club's identity and find a coherent policy of its programme. Today, its contribution to the diversity of Metelkova makes Menza pri koritu one of its main social and cultural nodes.
Officially managed by KUD Mreža, it is in fact led by an informal group that comes from various other associations like Kud Sizifova buča, Kud Kentaver and Cirkus pri koritu. This core team extensively works with a number of other cultural producers – [A]Infoshop Metelkova, DRMK, Panda Banda, ŠKUC Buba Booking and Promotion, Sploh Institute, Moonlee Records, Radio Študent (RŠ), FV Music, Peace Institute, and Voluntariat, and festivals like International Feminist and Queer Festival Red Dawns.

Programme
As music is the primary focus of Menza pri koritu, concerts take place on an almost daily basis. In terms of genres, their repertoire is not bound by any of them. There are two regular serials called Džez pri koritu and Punk pri koritu – while the later is obviously hosting punk rock music, the former is more or less focused on the more adventurous and loud strains of jazz music. Besides these two, a sizeable part of the programme is dedicated to alternative rock acts, and also to metal music, various experimental electronics, noise, folk, hip hop, electronic dance music and to a number of other musical expressions that hover somewhere in-between. To name notable international acts would be useless, as the list would be far to long even if it would be kept very short.
Besides these one-evening music events, Menza pri koritu also hosts and co-organises festivals and series like the FV Music Festival, Moonlee Records' Moonleejada, Club Marathon, Rdeče zore, Sploh Institute's Con-Fine Aperto, and some others.
Alongside its musical programme, Menza pri koritu co-organises regular poetry events, which are mainly happening under the name of Mlade rime ("Young Rhymes"), eventually a montly series, later developed into a summer festival event. Another regular series of events is called Cirkus pri koritu ("Circus at the trough"), offering a diverse set of performative acts that range from acrobatics to a fashion show of bearded woman.
Other parts of the programme are also film screenings (Menza pri koritu has a long history of documentary film screenings, temporary suspended), theoretical lectures, and even workshops offering free instruction on screen printing, photography, website design, Photoshop, and video animation. As mentioned before, a lot musicians, theatre performers, and even jugglers use the place as a rehearsal space.
