When we first arrived at the The Hofbräuhaus am Platzl, we were overtaken by its size. Not only is the first floor immense but on a third floor there are separate large rooms and a stage for large parties. Even mid afternoon in April the place was packed and there was a band playing. Folks were either having late lunches or early dinners. Beer was everywhere and the mood was jovial.

According to what we learned the Hofbrauhaus was founded in 1589 by the Duke of Bavaria, Wilhelm V. It was originally founded as the brewery to the old Royal Residence, which at that time was situated just around the corner from where the beer hall stands today. The Hofbrahaus was also used extensively by Adolf Hitler during World War for party events.

Today it stands as perhaps the largest indoor beer garden in the world. A fun place and something to be seen.

Dress Code: The place is casual. Jeans and t shirts to men in sport coats and women in dresses.

Theme: Eating and Drinking

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
