Hofbräuhaus

The Hofbräuhaus is sometimes mentioned as a “beer garden” in editorial reviews about Munich, published by various media. Such features are however incorrect. While Hofbräuhaus is Germany's best known beer hall, there is no traditional beer garden in this location at Platzl 9, close to Marienplatz. Only a Wirtsgarten which is serviced by the same kitchen exists in the central courtyard of the famous Hofbräuhaus.

Those searching for a traditional Bavarian beer garden including the famous Munich Hofbräu lager are advised to visit the Hofbräukeller at Innere Wiener by Wiener Platz in the Haidhausen district of Munich (pictured below). Crossing the Isar river on the Maximillianbrücke, Hofbräukeller can be found within 2km of Hofbräuhaus.

In addition to the Hofbräukeller, other beer gardens in and around Munich which also serve the famous original Hofbräu lager include:

• Taxisgarten
• Chinesischer Turm
• Viktualienmarkt
• Waldgasthof Buchenhain
• Zum Aumeister
• Fasanerie
• Schloßwirtschaft Oberschleißheim
• Gasthof Grub
• Schloss Dachau Biergarten
