Tucked away in the heart of the Maxvorstadt district, just a short walk from the university and art museums, Max Emanuel (or “Maxe,” as locals affectionately call it) has been a Munich institution for generations. Founded in 1880, this historic tavern has long been a meeting place for students, artists, and free spirits drawn to its relaxed charm and hearty Bavarian fare.

Here, tradition meets youthful energy. The menu features all-time favorites like Weißwurst, Schnitzel, and Schweinsbraten, alongside rotating seasonal dishes and vegetarian options. And of course, the beer is always fresh and local — served straight from the tap, best enjoyed with good company.
