Augustiner Keller
One of the oldest beer
gardens in Munich,
dating back to 1812
when King Ludwig I
first allowed Bavarian
brewers to sell beers
straight from their
basements. The ground
above was planted with
chestnut and linden trees
to help keep the vats cool,
creating the beer gardens.
This one is pretty much
unchanged since its last
renovation, back in 1896.

Löwenbräukeller
Traditionalists will love the
Löwenbräu – located so
close to the brewery you
can smell the hops as you
sip your beer. Rebuilt after
a bombing raid in 1944,
its capacity was reduced
from8,000 to a mere
1,000 – veritably cosy
by Bavarian standards.
Foodies should check
out the
Obatzda
(locally
made cheese spread)
and fresh pretzels.

Chinesischer
Turm
Named for its location at
the foot of the Chinese
Tower in the picturesque
Englischer Garten, this
is one of the largest
bierg
ä
rten
, with seats for
7,000. Proximity to the
city’s university means it
attracts a younger crowd,
but despite this, it remains
one of the more traditional
drinking spots – there’s
been an oompah band
playing here at weekends
since the 1800s.

The Hofbräukeller
A calm alternative to
the madness of the city
centre, the Hofbräukeller,
in the Haidhausen district
has a playground and
Kinderland
daycare area,
whichmake it ideal for
families.With its thick
canopy of chestnut trees
and endless rows of
benches – there’s seating
for 1,800 – it’s a great
place to hunker down over
a brew.

Seehaus
At the upper end of the
scale, the Seehaus can
be a mite pricier than
other gardens, but
its location – on the
banks of the swan-filled
Kleinhesseloher See
boating lake –makes it
worth the splurge. The
restaurant here is justly
famous, serving up an
inventive, seasonal menu,
while the food stalls in the
garden offer everything
from
Schweinshax’n
(roasted pork knuckle) to
spare ribs andmeatballs.

Muffatwerk
Biergarten
Something completely
different –Mediterranean-
inspired dishes instead
of sausage-rich Bavarian
fare, reggae rather than
folk music – this garden is
attached to the forward-
thinking art and culture
venue Muffatwerk. Beers
include Lammsbräu, an
organic variety, and the
garden is popular with
cyclists due to its location
on the Isar River cycle
path.
