i have wanted to go here since learning the song in high school German. You just have to go here. It's what you do. The Hofbrauhaus Original tasted very good...I was astonished i was able to finish that whole big mug. I also had some tasty asparagus soup. We sat in the garden on a lovely summer evening. More

The chicken was so moist and delicious as was the sauerkraut. Best sauerkraut we've ever had might I add. The beer was of course outstanding, but we expected that. Once we returned home we were able to find Hofbrauhaus beer at a local store. More

How anyone could give this less than 5 is beyond me. On the night before the CL League final I sat/stood on chairs/tables and sang myself hoarse with thousands of other Chelsea and Bayern fans. The beers kept coming, the band kept playing. My son turned to me at one stage and said this was the best night of his... More

Its very big with typical dressed waiters, a band keeping the people in the mood, lots of beer, people drinking, sausages and happy mood! Coming from a country were the beer has 5% alcohol i didn't liked much the standard beer (1 or 2%... More

floor after floor of happy beer drinking Bavarians, with a liberal sprinkling of tourists, we really couldn't believe how vast this place was or how many people there were inside, so many rooms & terraces, halls & the courtyard garden, with free live singers & musicians moving between. a fantastic atmosphere to drink away the hours, so fun & lively...

This was my third trip to the Hofbrauhaus and probably my favourite. It was a sunny Saturday afternoon, and everyone was out in force. The Pork Knuckle went down well, although I couldn't get through the dumplings. If you're looking for a good time in Munich, enjoy beer and want a hearty Bavarian meal, head here! More

Three is a generous review. I had not been here since college. Of course back then, just thought it was wonderful. Since then, tastes in beer have improved. My husband wanted to see it, and it is one of those places that if you go to Munich, when you go home everyone asks if you went. My recommendation is just... More

It's loud, bustling and fun. The food and beer are great and the atmosphere is social. A great place to spend a meal and gather with friends. More

The uber German beer hall. The noise and the heat hit you as soon as you walk in the door--and all the happy, smiling, singing, laughing people. I've never seen anyone have a bad time. My last trip to Munich was literally a one-night layover and this was the only thing I did. The food is totally ordinary but if... More
