small kiosk venue
organic beer garden

The Milch-Häusl is a special beer garden. Everything here is prepared with organic ingredients, and alongside beer and sausages with potato salad, you can also drink fresh organic milk – hence the name. This beer garden is rather small, like a kiosk with some benches, and is therefore better suited for small groups.

The Hofbräuhaus is probably the most famous tavern in the world. It is owned by the Bavarian state and looks back on a long tradition. Is it full of tourists? Yes. Is it still worth a visit? Absolutely! The spacious halls offer a unique atmosphere and many special events. With smaller groups, you can drop by spontaneously without a reservation, and as a large group, you can rent your own banquet hall.

traditional offal dishes
Bavarian cuisine classics

In addition to Bavarian cuisine classics like Weißwurst breakfast, pretzels, and wheat beer, this brewery's kitchen offers unique delicacies: animal offal prepared in the traditional way—known as "crown meat"—consisting of kidneys, spleen, liver, and lungs. Don't worry though—for your team event, you won't need to choose such unusual dishes, as they're not to everyone's taste.
