Hofbrauhaus Munich — A Unique Tourist Attraction
Located in downtown in a street called Platzl, the beloved beer hall Hofbrauhaus (German: Hofbräuhaus) was founded in 1589.
It has since been one of the city's most popular tourist attractions.
Up to today, it lives up to its reputation: beer, food, tourists, oompah music, and drunken and funny revelry. And eating 2 Original Munich Weisswürste (veal sausages) with a pretzel is a must eat.
I can say, here you can find a little Oktoberfest, but throughout the whole year! Including all the things that makes Munich so unique...
Check out the wall of beer steins, personalized and locked away for their owners.
And please note: Tables labeled with Stammtisch are reserved for regulars.
This is true for all German restaurants, by the way.
The official Web site of the Hofbrauhaus provides detailed information about this house, its history, and more photos.
Beer, veal sausages... that makes hunger for more. I think we're ready for the nightlife Munich provides, the world famous P1 in particular... ![]()
