100%Augustiner Brauhaus

I've been to a few beer halls in Munich but this one is by far the best. As it's a few stops away from the main train station on the tram, it doesn't get too many tourists like the Hofbräuhaus. And the beer?! Oh the beer! It's something else.

It can be found in 19 Landsberger Street, this is the oldest brewery in Munich, more than 670 years old. The “restaurant” itself looks like a huge canteen with a lot of long tables and benches and there are always a lot of people and noise. The waiters and waitresses wear traditional Bavarian clothes (ladies: dirndl, gents: lederhosen) and they carry 6-7 beer mugs at a time (half a litre each!). The atmosphere is very-very good! The food is brilliant, you have to try the traditional German Sausage (Bratwurst) with sour cabbage and pretzels, while waiting for the food you can try the Augustiner Beers, coming from old beer-kegs. My favourite is the Weissbeer and second favourite is called Edelstoff. We were really lucky with finding two free seats: we got to sit next to two German guys and they were the friendliest people I have ever met on a holiday! We were chatting and drinking beer for about five hours, they spotted us all the most interesting and worth-visiting places, they even marked them on a map…they really made our weekend! So if you have a chance try to have a drink with locals in a huge "brewery"!!close
