Step into Hofbräuhaus München, Munich's legendary beer hall with a history stretching back to the 16th century. Share pretzels and Bavarian plates at long tables as live music fills the room.
Full description
Hofbräuhaus München is a three-storey beer hall rooted in the 16th century, combining a large Bavarian restaurant, a beer hall floor, a beer garden and live entertainment. It is open from late morning to midnight, so it works for lunch, an afternoon beer or a lively evening, and the energy is loud, communal and unmistakably touristy in the best sense.
Reviewers mention the buzzing atmosphere, the Oktoberfest-like feel of the main hall and attentive waiters, though crowds can mean mixed service. With more than 110,000 reviews and mid-range prices, it is Munich's classic first-timer experience, with no booking needed for most seatings.

Reviews
When we first visited, we had the best service from Llanaj. He truly made us feel welcome and kept checking back on us to make sure we were okay. The next day we went, we couldn’t find him anymore and really missed his presence! The place is always full of laughter and crowds are always full so I hope whoever visits…
