Munich’s Top 10 : Traditional Pubs – Top 10 Munich Beers

1. Hofbräuhaus

   Anyone visiting Munich should make the pilgrimage to this venerable beer hall – symbolic of all Bavarian pubs and the most famous pub in the world.
   Locals, too, simply can’t stay away. Brass bands play daily at noon and
   again after 6pm.

2. Augustinerbräu

   Here
   in this historic building, thirsty travellers will find a beer hall and
   a restaurant with spectacular decor (including the Muschelsaal, a
   shell-lined room). The fare is typically Bavarian, the beverage, the
   famous Augustiner beer. In summer, choose between a table on the patio
   in the pedestrian zone, or in the stunningly beautiful Arkadenhof to the
   rear.

3. Löwenbräukeller

   Stiglmairplatz,
   a busy square not far from the city centre, is dominated by this
   historic 1883 building. It has a beautiful pub, several halls, a
   ballroom, and a large beer garden .
   In March, the pub hosts the tapping of the first Triumphator barrel,
   ringing in the “fifth season” – the bock beer season. The stone lion
   perched above the entrance is the symbol of the Löwenbräu brewery.

4. Weißes Bräuhaus

   Here
   you’ll sample Munich cuisine prepared to perfection: Pfannkuchensuppe
   (clear broth with pancake strips), G’schwollene (fried veal sausage),
   Schweinsbraten (pork roast). The meals are inexpensive, and experienced
   staff are renowned for keeping up with the onslaught of orders from
   clamouring customers. A wheat ale is the most common brew served here;
   or try a pint of delicious Schneider Weiße.

5. Nockherberg

   In
   1999, this traditional beer haven high above the Isar burned to the
   ground. Since 2003, however, politicians have once again gathered in the
   reconstructed Paulaner pub for the annual Salvator beer tapping. When
   this star-studded event has ended, “ordinary” patrons flock to the pub
   on the mountain for a taste of dark bock beer, which has an 18 per cent
   alcohol content.
