Beer Garden
On a prime site beside
the Isar, Munich's newest
beer garden sports um-
brellas instead of tradi-
tional chestnut trees. The
Muffathalle menu is well-
suited to the beer garden
- both are varied and full
of surprises.

Across the Isar in
Haidhausen, the Hof-
bräukeller, once also the
site of the brewery and
its beer cellar, has attract-
ed patrons since 1892.

comfortable even on rainy

Purity Law for
Bavarian Beer
Munich is home to
many brewery dynas-
ties. Locals often
choose their favourite
pubs and beer gardens
based on the brews
they serve rather than
location or food. Personal
preferences aside,
the Purity Law, which
dates back to 1516, is
strictly applied to all
local beers. According to
this law, beer is pure
only when it is brewed
exclusively from malt
(which is germinated
grain, usually wheat,
barley or spelt), hops,
yeast, and water. No
additives are allowed.
Emmerams-Mühle
A beer garden that is
both trendy and pastoral.
d St. Emmeram 41 • 700
seats, plus 450 seats with
self-service • playground
A place to see and be
seen, this popular beer
garden lies in the centre
of the Englischer Garten
on a small lake. The ter-
race overlooking the lake
is more stylish, but the
beer garden has a cosy
atmosphere (above) .
d Englischer Garten
• 2,600 seats (400 on the
terrace) • playground,
boat rentals at the lake
* Paulaner
The brewery's beer
garden on the Nocker-
berg is rather small, but
famous for its beer. In
March, the brewery hosts
a highly original annual
event, the Salvator-tap-
ping. There is much
laugher as prominent
politicians meet, submit
to an evening of ribbing,
and savour the bock
beer (left) . d Hochstr. 77
• 2,500 seats • historic
garden pavilion in the

Make sure you try “Radi” (white or red radish), “Obazda”
(seasoned Camembert), Steckerlfisch, and a large pretzel.
