Closest possible thing to a permanent Oktoberfest. Ignore the critics. The beer is excellent, the food good and relatively inexpensive, and the people watching unparalleled. The music is live, the crowds (the place seats 3000) are enthusiastic, and tables can be harder to find the later you arrive. Watch out for the Stammtisch, who are old-time Bavarian regulars who have... More

We went mid afternoon on a cold and wet Sunday. The place was packed, and we had to wait for someone to leave, and share a table. The waiter didn't come near us and the couple already on our table eventually left without being served. Another table of people did the same. It took nearly an hour for the waiter... More

This is what Munchen is all about buy masse beers 1L for €7.60 if your lucky enough there will be a traditional Bavarian brass band playing.The atmosphere is unbelievable and you meet the true Bavarians and locals aswell. Don't go Munchen and not go here

Food is a little pricey but you can't beat the atmosphere. Definitely sit downstairs so you can see and hear the band and enjoy a nice beverage and meal. If you go upstairs, you basically miss the whole environment and reason to visit. Join the locals and have a great time!

A Munich tourist must do. This rowdy brew house is a massive two story building with long bench tables, rowdy tourist, locals dressed in local attire, bands playing and a jovial time being had by all. The main level indoor area is very loud and more of a see and be seen place that is quite over the top in... More

This is Munich’s famous and rather cavernous beer house. We only popped in for a drink, but food was available. It’s one of those places that you have to visit, but we didn’t find the atmosphere as good as the less famous Augustiner beerhouse about 10mins away (see separate review). The service was perfunctory – perhaps a good indication that... More

Go and eat the food, the pork knuckle is delish. Well worth it. The atmosphere is great, waitresses and waiters walking around with pretzels, big large brass band, and really crowded. Go early to get a table, cause when my friend and I went, we had to share a table with a Chelsea Clinton look alike

Even though everyone is rude, from the managers to the waiters, the food is horrible and the service the absolute worst, the Hofbrauhas Munchen could care less. Why? Because all the big tour companies will continue to drop thousands of tourists at their doorstep every year regardless of how bad the food and service are. If not for it's "history"... More

Ah yes, the famous Hofbrauhaus. It's touristy, overpriced, rushed, crowded and the food is lackluster, but still...you've gotta go. It's just a requirement if you're in Munich. We definitely enjoyed it and are glad we did it for the experience, but there are better bierhalls in the city. We had one beer each and shared a meal, listened to some... More
