The beer garden is partly shaded by chestnut trees and sun-umbrellas. Locals, tourists and school classes often make this a mixed crowd and lively beer garden. It is unusual to see anyone bringing home cooked meals, perhaps because most visitors do not come from Bavaria and are not necessarily aware of the custom. The Andechs beer garden is however not at odds with Bavarian tradition and to bring one's own food is permitted and not discouraged in any way. The self service food stall offers a selection of typical Bavarian cold and hot meals, and of course, the famous Andechs beer brewed at location served fresh from the tap. The available beer types are Spezial Hell and Bergbock Hell (lagers) at €5.80 p/[[Maß]], Weißbier Hell or Dunkel (regular or dark Bavarian wheat beer) at €3.20 p/pint and Doppelbock Dunkel at €6.80 p/Maß (the extra strong dark lager variety).
A fish stall offers Steckerlfisch (grilled fish-on-stick) for at a pricey €20, about twice the price of a Steckerlfisch in other beer gardens. This however is however no ordinary Steckerlfish! The trout or mackarel comes from a lake in the nearby alps and is grilled on a charcoal grill with 19 different herbs and spices from an organic herbal garden at Andechs. The fish stall is closed on Mondays.
The beer garden has standard beer garden tables with about 250 seats and no serviced area. The serviced and more formal [[Klostergasthof Andechs|Klostergasthof Andechs Wirtsgarten]] which is also part of the Andechs property is located across the courtyard. Additionally, [[Kloster Andechs Bräustüberl]] a few steps up the hill is the self-serviced beer hall with an outdoor terrace including some great views of the surrounding landscape.
