Bavarian restaurant and beergarden

"A Munich public house as it should be" – and that's what it is, the Löwenbräukeller at Stiglmaierplatz: excellent Bavarian cuisine, the famous freshly tapped Löwenbräu beer, perfect service even at big events and the typically cosy Bavarian ambience. For decades that has made the Löwenbräukeller popular with local regulars and tourists alike and a place that is traditionally booked for all kinds of events.

Even at the festive opening on 14th July, 1883, there was a lot going on at the Löwenbräukeller: "Exceptionally large crowds from the general public" packed into the building and four regimental bands played, it says in the commemorative records at the time.

Nowadays, too, the Löwenbräukeller is the setting for a very wide variety of events. Throughout the whole year company celebrations, exhibitions and balls take place. They range from the Filser Ball to the traditional stone lifting competition in the strong beer season, in which brave men try out their luck with a stone weighing 508 pounds.

The venue for these events is quite often the magnificent banqueting hall, with seating accommodation for 2000 guests. Those who like something more intimate move into one of the small halls and guestrooms, for example into the Benno Hall, the Dancers' Room or the tap room.

Löwenbräu's outdoor area has undergone a completely new facelift. One of the highlights is the newly laid out open-air terrace, where the service personnel can look after their guests.

From the terrace there is a splendid view down onto the beer garden, where up to 1000 people are enjoying their obazdn (a local cheese spread), pretzels and cool beer. Such delicacies are available in the Schmankerlgasse (the passage for delicacies) in the new extension. The self-service beer garden is one of the most popular in town.
