Munich’s Most Beloved Beer Garden Tradition

Augustiner-Keller

Beneath the shady chestnut trees of Arnulfstraße, just steps from Munich’s Hauptbahnhof, lies one of the city’s true treasures: the Augustiner-Keller. First mentioned in 1812, it’s one of Munich’s oldest and most iconic beer gardens — a place where locals and visitors have gathered for over 200 years to share good food, great beer, and the joy of Bavarian Gemütlichkeit.

Here, beer still flows from traditional wooden barrels, served fresh and unfiltered — just as it has been for generations. It’s all brewed by Augustiner Bräu, Munich’s oldest privately owned brewery, renowned for its smooth, perfectly balanced beers and commitment to quality since 1328.

The menu features everything you’d expect from a true Bavarian Wirtshaus: crispy roast pork with dumplings, grilled sausages, Obatzda, and freshly baked pretzels — simple, hearty, and best enjoyed under the open sky.

Whether you find a shady spot in the vast beer garden, dine in the cozy cellar restaurant, or celebrate in one of the elegant halls, Augustiner-Keller captures the very soul of Munich’s hospitality — where every glass is raised with a smile and every visit feels like coming home.
