Perched above the Isar River in the quiet Au district, Paulaner am Nockherberg is far more than just a restaurant — it’s a Munich institution. This historic site is the birthplace of Paulaner beer, where monks of the Neudeck Monastery first brewed their strong, nourishing Salvator Doppelbock nearly 400 years ago. What began as a Lenten brew for the monks has become a worldwide symbol of Bavarian brewing mastery.

Today, the tradition continues in a stunning blend of history and modern design. The on-site brewery produces freshly tapped Paulaner classics, and guests can watch the brewing process up close. From the airy beer hall to the shaded terrace overlooking the city, every corner reflects the spirit of conviviality that defines Munich.
