The Bavarian court brewery, founded in 1589 and open to the public since 1828, with pork knuckle, roast pork, white sausages and live music every day.

The court brewery, since 1589
Duke William V of Bavaria founded the Hofbräuhaus on 27 September 1589 to supply his court with beer. In 1828 King Ludwig I allowed food and drink to be served to the public and since then it has been a town tavern. In 1632, during the Thirty Years' War, the house handed over more than 23,000 litres of beer to the Swedish troops besieging Munich as part of the tribute to stop them sacking it. The brewery left the square in 1896; the present building, with the great room on the ground floor, the Schwemme, opened in 1897. Today it boasts more than 3,500 regulars, and its beer is still brewed in Munich, at the Riem brewery since 1988.
What you eat and how much it costs

The 2026 menu has the crispy roast pork with homemade dark-beer sauce and potato dumpling at €18.90, the whole roast pork knuckle at €22, the Viennese-style pork escalope with potato salad at €19.90 and half a roast chicken at €16.90. To nibble, the Obazda (creamy cheese with paprika and onion) at €12.50, sausage salad at €13.50 and a pretzel at €2.10.
