Augustiner-Keller in München

Among the countless breweries in Munich, this place, Hofbräu, and Schneiderbräu are considered the top three breweries. I haven't been to all three, but the beer here is better than Hofbräu. I stopped by here the first time I arrived in Munich and stopped by again the next day on the last train, and the atmosphere during the day and night was clearly different. At night, it was noisy and noisy, and I was so drunk that my memories are hazy. I'll try to write down my memories of my first visit, which was for lunch, but I'll say it in advance: the food was just okay. At that time, I had been in Germany for a week, so I think I was tired of the same food. For beer, you can just drink Edelstorf. It's a premium lager, and the hoppiness and refreshingness that come up behind the soft foam and the strong body are a work of art. I really didn't feel like sausages or Schweinshaxe, so I ordered something like roast pork for food. It was a pork dish that seemed to be made with a similar recipe to Schweinshaxe, except that the part wasn't pig's feet. The garnish was made with potatoes and cabbage, and the sauerkraut made with red cabbage was delicious. While regular sauerkraut is too sour, this one was sweet and sour. The potatoes were made with German dumplings called knödel, and they had a unique chewy and sticky texture. They were like plain potato cakes, and there was a little minced meat in them, but it didn't add any special flavor. The roast pork was the neck part, and the meat was very dry and chewy. The skin was crispy enough to chew, but it was greasy, so I dipped it in sauce and ate it with beer.

Bavarian hospitality doesn't get much better than this. The food is first-class. The beer is excellent, there's no better! Definitely worth a visit.

Marzen beer was very good but at a certain point a guy identical to Giancarlo Esposito (Gustavo Fring in Breaking Bad) chased us and ordered us to pay the amount of the malt drink we had just consumed (which we were getting close to doing). Watch out guys

Careros, they tell you free shots and then they charge you €7.5 for each shot, the food seems already pre-cooked and they simply heat it up. I won't even think about it again

Classic stylish Munich pub, with excellent beer, food and perfect service. Thank you

Great location. Great food, fragrant atmosphere. Lots of nice people.

A perfect Bavarian experience. I wished I knew it before.

Classic. Excellent atmosphere and the best beer I had on my trip. The cellar is beautiful. Not to be missed.

Typical German dinner, great quality beer, cheerful place, perfect service, I recommend it.

The Augustiner's terrace offers a great opportunity for lunch in the sun. When the weather is nice in spring and autumn, you can also sit here when the beer garden is not yet open. Special menu with affordable lunch offers. I like to go over from the office for a nice lunch and a delicious Augustiner Hell non-alcoholic.

Delicious beer, big pub, lots going on.

BREWERY IMMERSED IN THE GREEN!!!!!

Traditional Bavarian beer hall. The service can't keep up. Basically a tourist attraction.

Great place for beer, bring the kids, fun playground to enjoy

I enjoyed the delicious German beer and plentiful snacks, and the Schweinhaxen was especially delicious for its soft meat and chewy texture.

We went on a weekday at night around 9:00 pm. Upon arrival they moved us to the main room where there were too many people but the waitress's attention was quick and friendly. We only ordered beers since the kitchen was already closed. Afterwards we wanted to order more beer but the waitress forgot because a group of about 30 people arrived. I think that if you go to Munich yes or yes you should stop by for a beer since they are delicious.

Fun place to unwind. Great food and beer with a lively atmosphere. Would recommend going with a group of people.

The only vegan food is a pretzel or a slice of bread. Upon request, there was a side salad with yogurt dressing. The waitress reacted extremely rudely to the request, and the rudeness continued when we collected the money. As part of the group, I paid 2 water and 2 spritzers, €22. The ambience is nice, Bavarian if you like it. Unfortunately it's way too loud late in the evening, so you can sometimes no longer have a conversation.

I had a dinner here with my partner. We’ve been waiting 50 minutes for waitress just to come and take our order. We were trying to draw her attention all the time, but she just ignored us. She promised she comes in 10 minutes, but that was never the case, she came in 50 minutes. And even for this we had to ask a different waiter (who serves different tables) to speak with our waitress. We’ve been waiting another 60 minutes to get our food. For some reason we didn’t receive the salats which come with our dishes. We received it very late - when we finished with the dish itself already. While having a meal we asked more beer - we had to wait another 40 minutes. So we had to eat just dry meat and potato without any beverage, because waitress just forgot about us (probably on purpose). Otherwise the food would became very cold. When we shared our concerns to waitresses, they just pissed us off. They were rude. I’ve never felt such a disrespect from a restaurant. We will never come here again.

It’s my first time to eat German pig’s feet. The skin is charred, full of collagen, and the meat is not too bad. It’s so delicious. It’s full of people inside and very happy. Tips for meals are free. Each waiter has a fixed number of tables to serve, and the waiters are not careless. The service and greetings at the table are more than three times and maybe more, so the tip is worth it and it’s worth a second visit.

I have been to the Augustiner Keller many times. No matter whether it's a beer garden, cellar or restaurant. I have always eaten very well and received very friendly service. It is also highly recommended here during strong beer season. However, I always advise everyone to make a reservation here just to be on the safe side. There is always so much going on that there is often no space available.

Top! Delicious food, fast service and good beer in a nice atmosphere! Price/performance also fair.

We were there as a group. The first ones had finished eating until the last one had his. It was already cleared away even though the last people didn't have their food. Cheese spaetzle cold, salad completely missing even though stated on the menu. We then reordered it. Salad with turkey, turkey schnitzel on top, also cold. Service more than overwhelmed.

Classic Bavarian tavern. The Haxn is second to none.

The combination of German pig's feet and duck is delicious. The service staff are friendly and enthusiastic, the service is first-class, the business is very good, and friends who will visit in the future can choose.

If you must go, never go on the first day to avoid ruining your trip. The level of customer service feels insulting beyond the level of racism.

A culinary experience, it was very, very good 👍🏼 and of course a really good beer

Great beer, exceptional service and the food was amazing. Being a lift down to make it an actual cellar was even better 👌

Yes, there was football on Ash Wednesday and there was a lot going on, but the staff was still friendly. Come back soon.

Rudeness and rudeness prevailing, even a bit of dishonesty on the remains. Waiters who bring what they want, complain if you give coins, make fun of you and regularly make fun of change so you have to ask for change and they, despite the terrible service, answer "tip". The beer is mediocre. Being near a hostel, school groups come here, yes guys: GO ELSEWHERE. You risk arguing with arrogant and rude people. They are clever to cheat kids, be careful.

Great mood and atmosphere. Very nice service.

Come here for atmosphere, it’s amazing here, service is very good, don’t expect smth wow from food though

Perfect place to quickly immerse yourself in Munich from the main train station.

Very traditional economy. Very good food.

Delivers exactly what you expect: delicious draft beer, hearty food such as the Meztzferpfandl and a cozy atmosphere. The service was also surprisingly warm, so we'll be happy to stop by again for lunch.

Super delicious food. Even though the hut was full, the food was there within 15 minutes. The waitresses were very nice, it only took a while to pay, otherwise everything was fine. Delicious beer and reasonable prices.

A great restaurant, the beer is very drinkable and the food was very tasty, the atmosphere is typically Bavarian, in the summer the beer garden is definitely a dream, we will definitely be back 🍺

Bavarian locality with high prices. Designed for tourists...

I went as a solo traveler and the waitstaff was a bit rude as I was left to wander around until I found a server that had me sit in her area. Most of the staff seemed to be in poor spirits and super stressed out, which I can understand, the place seemed quite busy and rowdy and had a private event going on that night. If you’re with a group and want a bit of a party atmosphere then it seems a good spot, or if you just want to check it off your list out of curiosity which is what I did. But I found myself wishing I’d gone to another Augustiner beer hall closer to my hotel that had steak frites for €15 and didn’t have that tourist trap energy. At one point my server took the real menu she’d given me and replaced it with a US/UK menu, which is obviously a red flag. Still I hadn’t eaten so I got the pork schnitzel which, compared to schnitzel I’d had in Switzerland had plenty of salt, but was pretty much breading that fell away from a dry piece of pork. The potato salad was actually the highlight. Waitress demanded a tip when I paid the check.

If you are ever in Munich, the Augustiner Keller is definitely worth a visit. The ambience alone is very inviting, not to mention the beer garden. The service is great and the beer mug never stays empty for long. You don't really need to say anything about the beer, it speaks for itself. The food is very, very tasty and you will definitely find me here again on my next visit to Munich 😃

Particular and characteristic location. Crowded but very organised, orders arrived quickly, perfect for those who want to drink beer.

Certainly great for events, our waitress was also great. We weren't impressed with just eating it. The taste was okay, but nothing special and for us the price/performance ratio wasn't right, especially considering the portion size. Onion roast is half as thick as in my home town of Swabia, the pork knuckle is half a medium-sized pork knuckle with 1 dumpling, not exactly the size of a fist, but standard size, with about 5 tablespoons of cabbage and that, where cabbage is the cheapest vegetable you can get in Germany. It was actually the first time I went to a restaurant in Bavaria where there was not enough cabbage. Since some dishes are sold that have an onion as the only vegetable, we think that at least a side salad would be appropriate given the portion size and price. If you're really hungry, you should dig deeper into your pockets and order an appetizer. But the location is of course impressive.

In the search for traditional food and beer, Munich offers a wide range of options, but many of these are in my opinion of bad taste or seek to attract tourists by exaggerating the traditional German ones. Agustina Keller has a beautiful restaurant, many rooms, a fire pit, cabins with different themes, the waiters are very friendly, the food is varied and tasty, their beer has tradition and can be drunk from 1-liter glasses as an activity for any visitor to the city. They have a special room for events that is spacious, with a decoration that recalls the halls of Nordic kings and live music. It was an experience that undoubtedly greatly improved our trip!

There are no words, this is an amazing place with history, delicious beer and cuisine!

A very nice Augustiner cellar and great beer!

Top place with some of the best beer.

A very authentic German-style beer house, but the atmosphere is very Harry Potter-like. The pig's feet are delicious and the steak is just so-so. You can try the beef soup. The beef balls are mixed with beef liver, which has a very special taste.

Great experience and nice service

Very cozy atmosphere. You can definitely spend a nice evening here. The beer is well poured and the menu has a good selection. The food is very tasty - the portion was sufficient and the service was attentive. Will definitely come back

Very nice Munich brewery with a large cellar. Only the portions could be larger considering the prices. But it's no better anywhere else

The service 5 star, atmosphere very germanish and good. But food 3 stars not more. Beer good but for this money you spend there you will get a lot better food and many more beer. 🍻 I would definitely not come here another time.

Were here in winter for curling - the waiter was very nice and everything worked at the ice rink too - it's really fun. There's not much to say about the food here - at the train station there are schnitzel rolls, roast pork rolls and sausage rolls - all good.

Very large, rustic Bavarian inn with a large guest garden. The staff is very, very friendly and accommodating. You would want something like that in every restaurant. The beer from the wooden barrel tastes very good. The food (sauerbraten, chocolate mousse) was good but not exceptional. The portion sizes are not excessively large and therefore the prices are quite okay for Munich.

Very quaint Bavarian. Very good, typical food. Nice staff and great ambience.

We are in Munich for holiday (we are young chill italians) and we would have never expected such a horrible experience. The server was rude and when he asked whether we would have paid at the moment of delivery or later he did not accept later as a response (then don't give us any options??). We hoped it would have been a better experience but it was not it. Hoping the service gets better XOXO

The staff is very nice. The food was very good!!!! I will recommend Augstiner Keller

The place is very cool and the beers are nice. The service was awful. Actually, the first waiter was kind of ok, but the second one was a bit an asshole. He told us we could not just continue to drink, but we were supposed to order food. He ruined the atmosphere, complaining I could not oder just a weisswurst (in the menu), but I had to order more. My friend is vegan and there are no vegan options. Experience to forget.

Fantastic atmosphere! Food is not anymore like 10 years ago and it comes a little pricey but great service and nice to be here!

Beautiful place a few steps from the central station, I recommend it for lovers of typical restaurants

The waitress was very quick We will definitely recommend the Augustiner Keller

the Augustiner inn is large and quite touristy, but better than the one in the pedestrian zone. The cellar is very nice, you can sit outside in front of the house when the first rays of sunshine arrive at the end of February and for me it is the most beautiful beer garden in the city center in summer. The location, 10 minutes walk from the train station and in the immediate vicinity of some cheap hotels such as Citadines, Ibis and Novotel, is perfect if you are coming for a short trip. Food is okay but not convincing

The food is good, the service is fast, but they don't give you table linen, I had to clean the table.

This place is amazing 🤩 The food is great 👍 I recommend this place if you are a fan of spätzle and sausages I asked for water and they brought it in a cup for beer 🍻

The atmosphere is nice, and the servers are very friendly even though they are busy! Instead, it's so noisy that you have to scream while talking. Be sure to eat Haksen! The skin is crispy on the outside and the inside is very soft, so it goes well with beer 👍🫶 I ordered white sausage by mistake, but I ordered Vienna sausage by mistake. I was trying to order more, but the white sausage was already sold out because it was Friday night. I think there were quite a few people who only ordered beer.

We have just come from a very nice evening in the Augustinerkeller. Food great! Ambience quaint and very nice. Benni our waiter was the best! It was simply brilliant how he managed to make us feel really comfortable! A huge thank you to him! Great service! We'll be back!

Very beautiful place nice food relatively good prices very nice beer 🍻🍺

I love this place. food is amazing.

Excellent Munich Beer Keller with very large beer garden. Edelstoff beer is best in Germany.

I've always had good experiences - until today. We were in the basement at 10:45 p.m. and the waiter asked us to please eat upstairs. Until then, no problem. We then sat opposite the tavern at 10:50 p.m., but unfortunately we were ignored by everyone. When we spoke to a waitress, she very dismissively showed us her cell phone watch - 11:00 p.m. Then we left with an empty stomach and a bad feeling. Very unfortunate. Hopefully better next time...

Definitely worth a visit! Nice ambience, typical Bavarian food.

I can recommend food and beer, but unfortunately not dessert.

A large beer garden and beer pub located near the central station in the center of Munich. It is said that the restaurant started at this location in 1812, and the beer they sell is Augustiner-Brau beer, as the name suggests. The beer garden, which can accommodate 5,000 people, is said to be the third largest in Munich. There are over 100 large chestnut trees planted in the garden, adding to the charm with lights at night. The beer garden is self-service, so you order your own beer and snacks and eat them. The beer is served straight from wooden barrels, so it tastes fresh. However, I was a little disappointed because it felt a bit bland and had an uncharacteristic taste. The snacks didn't even feel that delicious. There is a main building next to the garden, so you can have a beer and a meal indoors. I'm not sure if the taste of beer while receiving service will be any different. I heard through a local guide that this is one of the few Munich beers that is not exported to foreign countries. I was surprised to see such a huge beer garden for the first time, and I felt once again that Germany is a country that is serious about beer.

Food and ambience are ok. Price/performance fits so far. But the waiter “Angelo” was rude. He threw beer at me because he was so clumsy. I then gave him a tip of €1.50, which he then complained loudly about (not enough). Very rude.

Great location, nice staff, good food, what more could you want. Even though the restaurant was very busy, we still managed to get a table and the service was very quick considering it was really busy. The prices are also quite ok. Overall, absolutely recommended.

Horrible food (the worst cheese spaetzle of my life so far, same with my companion) and a waiter who didn't know that a noble substance is an export beer and not a light beer - and simply didn't want to accept it. It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't work for the manufacturer himself... Otherwise, very nice atmosphere (ballroom).

Fantastic and fun, definitely a place you have to visit in Munich

German beer hall atmosphere. The lower floor is amazing, it seems like you are going down to a bunker using the spiral staircase

We were there at lunchtime. The lunch menu is recommended

Socializing dinner with many colleagues. The food is typical German and is good, but not excellent. The best thing is the atmosphere and style of the building.

Best beer hall in Munich by far. Popular among locals and great service to English speakers! Better value than other Old Town beer halls too. Highly recommend.

You just have to experience it for yourself

Old review I hope the waiter has retired in the meantime! Exquisite food Ignorant waiter who attacks customers by saying several times that the tip is not included in the bill, accompanying with nasty phrases towards Italians I replied that in Italy, moreover, 0.75 cl of mineral does not cost 7.20 euros and that 1 sandwich at the table does not cost 1.40 even if we did not make any objection to this We wanted to go back in the evening for dinner but this individual left us in the stomach I don't know how productive it is for the place: give it holidays

I liked it a lot, friendly staff, very good food and beer (Except for the so-so strudel) Ah PS....Samir fantastic 🍻🍺

Good evening, I was just kicked out of this place in a completely rude manner just because my friends and I only wanted to try two beers and not more. The service is terrible, we had to wait for the waiters to finish doing what they wanted (eating ice cream in front of everyone, eating chips and licking their fingers...) and they even ignored our request to order. Having said that, the place is very nice, but if the service is so poor towards tourists who perhaps just want to taste a beer and not get drunk, I don't recommend it. Good day.

Fantastic food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere – highly recommended!

Great ambience, price performance fits 👍

I went there after the Bayern Munich game and had to wait 40 minutes to get my order, but the food and atmosphere were great.

Always worth a visit for locals and tourists. Keep it up…..!

The Augustiner-Keller is simply amazing! A real piece of Bavarian culture, where you can experience the atmosphere of old Munich up close. The huge beer garden with its shady chestnut trees, the rustic wooden tables and the lively, yet cozy atmosphere - that's exactly what a traditional Bavarian pub should be like! The beer? Simply unbeatable! The freshly tapped Augustiner is an absolute delight - ice cold, perfect in taste and simply legendary. And the food? A dream! Huge portions, juicy pork knuckles, delicious sausages and of course the famous Bavarian pretzel - the perfect accompaniment to the beer. The only downside: you can't take the beer with you! That's a real shame, because you'd love to take such an exceptional beer home with you and enjoy it for even longer. But on the other hand - that's exactly a good reason to keep coming back! If you're in Munich, you should definitely visit the Augustiner-Keller - an unforgettable experience!

Excellent. I recommend Leberkaese. Divine.

Not sure if it was because we went in the middle of the day but the service / atmosphere wasn't't the best. They did however have great outdoor bars and activities that was a lovely touch !

This was their signature meal where you supposedly gave a mix of everything. 38€ for a bit of cabbage, one sausage and two very small pieces of meat. All the German I was with said that this is not normal at all, that it was a pure shame and that they would never come back. Funny thing is that the waiter was requiring to get a tip at the end. He was literally waiting and repeating “Tip! Tip! Tip!” and then made a racist comment « I knew your country is like this ».

A real beer garden highlight. If I only gave food and service 4 points, it's because it's beer garden level. Sauce sometimes drowns the dumplings and the waitress perhaps exudes too much of her “Bavarian charm”. Then you have to swallow both uncritically, quietly and recognizably humbly. Speaking of swallowing... a strong one always improves one thing and somehow usually improves the other too (experience value). But the parking situation is a disaster. There is something like this on one side of the site. Big enough for 12 Smart or around six status limousines. Stay on the road and good luck getting rid of your own car there temporarily. The milder the summer evenings, the harder the cars fight to at least be able to park without penalty. It's smart if you don't sit down at one of the regulars' tables (huge trouble!), who considers your expected blood alcohol level in front of a nice police officer and... who therefore uses a taxi. Of course, without spoiling it with too much beer. If the driver still grumbles for no reason, please be lenient with him. He's probably your waitress's brother, No matter how you twist it, this beer garden is clearly a recommendation. You have to like your clientele. It's largely the same thing that happens in the beer gardens in the very south of Munich and beyond. But, a measure is always possible!

A great Bavarian restaurant. I recommend sitting in one of the smaller rooms rather than the Great Hall. There is a lunch menu between 14.00-16.00, you can eat cheaply. Other than that, prices are normal. The wines on the menu are very good, I guess I don't need to mention the beers. The atmosphere is great, the food is good. For me it is the most authentic restaurant in Munich. Definitely recommended.

We were there before the Zirkus Krone performance, everything from the waiter to the food was well organized and in order

Excellent environment! Good shweinshaxe and beer. (Visited in 2015)

Very friendly service and great food.

Waitress was very rude from start of experience and made us feel uncomfortable. Although food wasn’t bad made experience one to forget

It was nice to eat noisily. Is this what it would be like to enjoy a party on a pirate ship? Schweinhaxen is very tough. Since we are from Germany, let’s try it! And I won't eat it again..? The staff's service is the kindness of a rough man. It felt exactly like that.

Great place to stop by if you are in Munich, especially if you are without a reservation when they were full they still could find us a spot to sit down and enjoy the great atmosphere, food and especially the beer! Thank you to the staff of Augustiner-Keller!
