HOFBRÄUHAUS AM PLATZL

A brewery with a lot of history in the centre of Munich, where you can eat or just have a look around.
An iconic Munich landmark steeped in history. The brewery was founded by Duke William V of Bavaria, who, fed up with the poor taste of Munich's beer, decided to import his own from Saxony, before setting up his own brewery in the city in 1589. Initially reserved for the court and army, the beers were finally sold to the public in 1828. By 1896, the brewery's production capacity was too small to meet demand, so it was moved to larger premises on the outskirts of Munich. The brewery remained open to the public, however, and is infamous for having hosted Adolf Hitler's first major rally on February 20, 1920. Be careful not to confuse the two breweries Hofbräuhaus and Bürgerbräukeller (it's true that their names are similar). The latter - which has now disappeared - was the scene of the attempted putsch in 1934 and of Georg Elser's failed attempt on Hitler's life in 1939. Today, the Hofbräuhaus is still a brewery, but it's possible to visit its rooms: on the first floor, there's the large common room for 1,000 people, with refreshment bar, counter and large wooden tables. On the second floor, several smaller rooms make up the restaurant. The second floor offers a more folkloric atmosphere, with a room for shows and dances. On sunny days, you can soak up the sun in the biergarten.
