Augustiner Keller
( 594 393; Arnulfstrasse 52; 10am-1am Apr-Oct; ; Hopfenstrasse)
Every
year this leafy 5000-seat beer garden, about 500m west of the Hauptbahnhof, buzzes with
fairy-lit thirst-quenching activity from the first sign that spring may have
gesprungen
.
The ancient chestnuts are thick enough to seek refuge under when it rains, or else lug your
mug to the actual beer cellar. Small playground.

WESTEND
Augustiner Bräustuben
(Landsberger Strasse 19; 10am-midnight daily; Holzapfelstrasse)
Depending on
the wind, an aroma of hops envelops you as you approach this ultra-authentic beer hall in-
side the actual Augustiner brewery, popular with the brewmeisters themselves (there's an
entire table reserved just for them). The Bavarian grub here is superb, especially the
Sch-
weinshaxe
(pork knuckle).

Baader Café
(Baaderstrasse 47; 9.30am-1am daily; Fraunhoferstrasse)
Around for over a
quarter of a century, this literary think-and-drink place lures all sorts, from short skirts to
tweed jackets who linger over daytime coffees and night-hour cocktails. Normally packed,
even on winter Wednesday mornings. Popular Sunday brunch.
CAFE
Trachtenvogl
(Reichenbachstrasse 47; 10am-1am Sun-Thu, to 2am Fri & Sat; Fraunhofer-
strasse)
At night you'll have to shoehorn your way into this buzzy lair favoured by a
chatty, boozy crowd of scenesters, artists and students. Daytimes are mellower, all the bet-
ter to slurp its hot chocolate menu and check out the cuckoo clocks and antlers, left over
from the days when this was a folkoric garment shop.
