The Löwenbräukeller is a famous brewery and bistro that dates back hundreds of years. The restaurant opened in 1883, although the site had been brewing beer for centuries beforehand. Now, you can find the popular Löwenbräu brand all around the world as an example of refreshing German beer.
The brand plays a key role in Munich’s world-famous Oktoberfest beer festival. Try the special Oktoberfest brew, Oktoberfestbier. Löwenbräu beers have been served at the event since it started in 1810 and the brewery has played an important role in Munich’s beer culture.
The pub is divided into several sections and each have their own ambience. Make the most of the summer months with a cool beer in the shade of a tree in the garden. The outdoor area can hold up to 1,000 people, which generates a jubilant atmosphere. Another popular area is the roof terrace where you can enjoy your beer with a cool breeze and views of the beer garden below. Experience the jovial atmosphere in the huge German beer hall.
Spot local residents wearing traditional lederhosen and dirndl dress. Typical Bavarian cuisine includes wurstsalat (cold sausage and onions rings) and schweinsbraten (sliced pork and gravy).
Löwenbräu’s brand of beer is made to comply with a law that dates back as far as 1516, known as the Reinheitsgebot. The law ensures that banned ingredients, such as mushrooms and rushes, are kept out of the beer. It is said to be the oldest law in the world relating to food safety.
The Löwenbräu opens daily year-round, from morning until night. Walk the 10-minute journey from the centre of Munich to the brewery and restaurant. Streetcars help responsible drinkers to reach their destination without driving.
There is no entrance fee for the beer hall. Phone ahead to make a booking.
