Would you like somewhere quiet to relax? Hoping to get away from the hustle of a big European city? Then go far, far away from the Hofbrauhaus. Me? I like beer, I like crazy people, and I like crazy outfits. I got a whopping dose of all three at here. Pure drinking fun. more

Yes, it is touristy! Yes, you are probably a tourist! Go for it. We always try to eat what the locals eat and do what they do, BUT this place is great! What a fun outing and we went on a Sunday afternoon and took the family. Our service was pretty good and the place was packed. We had no... more

Es war Toll! Man mußt ein Hofbräubier trinken, vielleicht ein Warsteiner! The atmosphere in this establishment makes one realise why it is THE most beautiful and lively Beer Cellars in Germany and indeed the whole of Europe! The Brass Band(s) and local folk are always filled with a very lively and merry spirit. One always has a feel good factor... more

We stopped here around 4pmish one day and got a table pretty quickly even though it was pretty far from the band. It was just the 2 of us...we enjoyed the food & had a great server. The place was very crowded the later it got...we would go back there in a heartbeat though! more

The Hofbräuhaus has been called the best and worst beer hall in the world. It seems that tourists expect it to live up to their expectations and if it does, its great; if it doesn't, it’s terrible. Perhaps the problem is the expectation itself. If a person expects to sit down and be entertained, served, and otherwise treated with the... more

How lucky were we to find a table within view of the oompah band!! It's total chaos in this place but if you go to Munich you just have to have a beer here. Be patient and wait and you'll find a table eventually. Be prepared to be pushed out of the way by waiters and waitresses. We ordered food... more

My husband and I visited München in April 2006 and felt we had to experience this beer hall. We're very glad we did. We had dinner there (very large protions) and then drank our VERY LARGE BEERS for several hours (I reccomend the Radler). Walking in and trying to find a place to sit was a little unnerving - the... more

People often poo-poo this place , saying it is overrun by tourists, not authentic..blah blah blah .Would you ignore Trevi Fountain in Rome , as it's too touristy. Forget these doomsayers and get in there and order a stein / mas and get chatting to your neighbour. A few litres later and you'll be having a great time. Once done,then... more

Absolutely brilliant place to visit. No frills, just food, drink, music and laughter. We were a group of lads from Engalnd and we met up with several nationalities and drank and sang songs all afternoon. A definate must for all tourists and I still have the headache to prove it! more
