[Munich, DE] Hofbräuhaus München- The BEST beer ever

Recommendation: 95%

After a long flight from Taiwan to Munich, J and I were both tired and hungry. Of course, our first stop at this fabulous city was this most famous brewery, Hofbräuhaus München.

As soon as we walked into this building, we were just amazed by how big the interior actually was and how it was full in an afternoon on a weekday. It is a open seating place so no one would assist you on seating, that is, you have to fight for your own seats. 😛

Some people might think this place turns too touristy. However, it does have its value of historical brewery sites and it has good beer!!! Not to mention the traditional Bavarian cuisines and the medieval costumed band and waiters. I would still highly recommend to stop by this place to at least try a beer for anyone who’s visiting Munich for the first time.

This is one of the oldest brewery in Germany. (Since 1589) Near Marienplatz station, very easy to locate.

Huge seating area but very crowded. The first floor is very crowded. You don’t have to wait for seating. Whenever you find an empty table, just sit down and the waiters would come to help you order.

There are also live band performing on the first floor. However, the band and the crowd makes it a little loud.

The second floor is open seating as well, but a lot less crowded. It also preserved the performing stage from the old ages.

Hofbräu Dark Beer refreshing, tasty – the origin of Bavarian beer 1L 8,00 €, 0.5L 4,20 €; For ladies, you gotta try its radler (lemonade dark beer) Soooooo GOOD!!!!!

Their large glass is actually LARGE!

Wiener Schnitzel – Escalope of Bavarian veal, wavy baked in clarified butter, served with homemade potato salad and cranberries 17,90 €
