Flaucher is actually an island in the Isar river. The name originates from the bar-keeper Johann Flaucher, who realised in the 19th century that the former forester's lodge of the Wittelsbacher family might be an ideal restaurant in catering for day-trippers exploring the surrounding forest. Since the 1870's the Isar banks became increasingly popular and soon the Flaucher became one of the most visited beer gardens in Munich. The Isar river close to the beer garden is a nice place to swim and cool down as well as meet friends for a barbecue. A state-owned tree nursery where young trees are grown and thereafter replanted in the city is located behind the beer garden. A grassland just next to the beer garden is suitable for sport activities or just relaxing and sunbathing. Guests wanting to drink their beer whilst laying down can simply take their [[Maß]] over.

The beer garden has about 1,700 seats in the self-serviced area and about 80 seats on the served terrace. Zum Flaucher is only partly shaded by large chestnut trees and lime trees. The remaining area is covered by sun umbrellas. The food stalls offer traditional beer garden specialties, such as [[Obatzda]], [[Hendl]] (roasted chicken) and Wurstsalat (sliced sausage in vinager). Recommended are the delicious spareribs. The beer served is [[Löwenbräu]] and a [[Maß]] Hell (lager) costs €6.90. The Weißbier (wheat beer) comes from [[Franziskaner]].
