Had a nice beer and the lunch portion pork knuckle and also ordered the weisswurst. Everything was cooked perfectly, food was served quickly, and the atmosphere is just what you'd expect from a Bavarian restaurant. Service is good also. Highly recommend visiting if you're in Munich.

Visited back in November 2023 and it was a little tricky to find even with the GPS. But, it was…read moreworth the drive to get there. The food was great it was not as salty as the other places we visited in Munich(e.g Hofbrau Haus, Austiner). We had the schnitzel, roasted duck and shweinshaxe. All very good, The schnitzel was very tasty and tender. The roast duck was moist and not gamey; very savory and succulent. The schweinshaxe was tender but kept the integrity of the skin was intact and crispy. The service was great because we arrived in between lunch and dinner. But it was pretty busy in the "cafe " area. It seems the servers were from university; students working as a side hustle. The ambiance was that of a beer hall with a hunter's motif very cozy in the area we were seated (the right side of the building as you enter the door.

Thanks for your help and also suggestion "Don't drink too much beer!". It is definitely a tourist stop over but glad I did it and you should too. If you are coming from the side entrance, walk thru one of the double door with yellow sign. Also street sign above. Go down the huge stairs and you can hear and smell the fun. Make a left and at the end is where you pay for the beer, grab the stein, rinse and get it filled. All done within 30 feet radius. You can retrace back and grab all the meats and such. Cash only! Outdoor area is huge. Tree leaves started to come out Mid April. Interior beer halls with plenty of seats. 100's people drinking pints and pints of beer. Men's room, designed to take care of all this. Beer was ok, food was ok, experience was ok. Did meet one of the workers offered to take photos. Nicer one at it! All spoke good English so communication was good.

This was one of my favorite experiences in Austria. SO SO SO COOL. Traditional beer hall, its huge,…read moregrab your own table. Inside its like a mini mall food court there are 10-12 different stands where you can choose cheese or sausage or pretzels. Service is quick but confusing to figure out, you will get it down fast. I bought a mug to take home. One of the best experiences I had in Austria.

Kloster Brewery Ettal is only one brewery I visited in Germany. Historically Germany monastery…read morebreweries were primarily responsible for the production of beer and the beer supply of the population. When I was on vacation in Germany I really enjoyed visiting Kloster Breweries. You feel like you are having a religious experience with a beer buzz. Since I was collecting Beer Steins at the time I purchased two at one Kloster Brewery I visited. I like the feel of the stein and the taste of beer when you drink it out of this stein. I've kept my steins for years and years. I'm recommending when you visit Germany that you tour one (or more) of the monastery or castle breweries. It's an unforgettable experience! Klaus, if I get anything wrong please tell me. I don't want to look too stupid. All I have are my happy memories. Plus I have my souvenirs placed where I can see them all the time!!!

The pews look original and you can find carvings people left in the wood. Many Of the carvings are initials with dates. We found some from 1770. The monastery was build in 1330. We stopped by the gift shop afterwards. They have a great selection of home brewed beers, liquors and other little trinkets. I would highly recommend to visit Kloster Ettal when in the area.

I have been to other breweries and never had this historical perspective. Other breweries just show you their massive and impressive brewing apparatus. This museum, located in the basement and not containing currently operating brewing machinery, shows many historical elements, including photos of how they delivered the beer in the days of horses, and the first motor vehicle that was used in the beginning of the 20th century. In fact, that motor vehicle is in the museum and you can sit in it. There is a good tutorial on hops, and the various grains that can be used for different purposes, ranging from traditional barley to a gluten-free grain. At the end of the free tour, they give you one bottle of beer per person. After the tour, we went to the beer hall to eat and drink. There are many food options, distributed among two floors of vendors. Much more satisfying than just ordering off of a single menu.

There were so many options for decent souvenirs here, I was amazed. We desperately wanted to purchase the Bierstein that was akin to a pony keg....it was under $100 US! We didn't have a way to get it back home unfortunately, and we didn't trust the postal service not to break it. We opted for the more manageable liter one instead, along with some coasters, a hat pin, t-shirt, and a metal brewey sign. Having to miss the tour made us sad, but it gives us an excuse to return to one of our favorite cities/countries. Prost! 74/2025

We missed the last tour, but the food and beer were enough to make up for it! There was also a large indoor restaurant and a nice gift shop. I will come back again when I'm in Salzburg.
