Löwenbräukeller

Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, Munich –

Since the Löwenbräu beer hall is located right next door to the brewery, patrons can rest assured they’re getting the freshest brew possible at Löwenbräukeller.

Like many traditional Bavarian establishments, the venue looks like a castle and gives the impression of splendor with its ornate moldings, spires, and regal stone lions – and indeed, the Löwe (lion) is a running motif throughout the beer hall.

Once inside, however, customers will find blue and white checkered decorations that recall the colors of the Bavarian flag, as well as multiple floors furnished with some decidedly down-to-earth wooden tables full of merry drinkers of all ages.

Bavarians both young and old dress in traditional clothing for a night at the hall, which only adds to the authentic atmosphere – and authentic it is, as this particular beer hall attracts a more local crowd, making it a hidden gem in the Munich drinking scene.

Whether rubbing elbows with the hoi polloi in the main hall or having an intimate gathering on the secluded tree-covered beer garden, patrons are guaranteed to experience the genuine Bavarian drinking culture at Löwenbräukeller.
