Giesinger Bräustüberl in München

Very nice atmosphere and the restaurant combined with brewery is a must see! Friendly. Perfect for large groups. 🍻

Excellent veggie menu, very friendly service, and a cool atmosphere. The Giesinger Bräustüberl has truly become a must-see in Munich—local or not.

Truly outstanding vegan/vegetarian food with a lot of options, and great service. Plus very nice beer obviously 🙂

Great beer, incredibly delicious vegan food, and fantastic and friendly service. 10/10

Excellent food and top service!👍

Yes, I loved it here. It's a nice place to go after dinner. There were people of all ages. I liked it very much. I recommend it. Also, the waiters are friendly.

Friendly staff, great beer, and amazing food!

The food there was super good, the place was very quiet

Super delicious food, beautifully presented, and something for everyone :) Lovely ambiance and friendly service.

Giesinger Bräu is always worth a visit. We had Märzen! We didn't like the "Festbier" beer. The food is also good. The dumplings could be a bit bigger.

Absolutely recommendable, especially the impeccable service. It was packed, and we wanted to be seated later, etc. The two ladies were super friendly despite their obvious stress. The food was also great. We'll be back. Thank you so much!

Update from September 6, 2025 We were there again last weekend, this time with guests from outside Bavaria. The service was top-notch as always, and the beer was delicious. However, the food was only average. The menu felt smaller than last year, or had changed. We had the "Reißstuben" (roast pork) with roast and duck. The duck was rather disappointing, and the meat seemed to have "gone through" several times. The cheese spaetzle and the burger were good, and the roast was okay. It seems that the focus is now more on vegetarian and vegan cuisine. The classic Bavarian meat dishes are still okay. We gave the kitchen our feedback, but received no response. Overall, I'll happily stay there for the beer and the atmosphere, even though the food was only mediocre this time. 3 stars for the food. The rest gets 5 stars. Original I've eaten at the Bräustuben several times – and I always enjoy coming back! The beer is simply fantastic, especially because there are several varieties to choose from, which are great to try your way through. The Bräustuben (Bräustuben) are not only a great place for Bavarian food, but also for a real pub atmosphere. The pub is a wonderful place to sway along, especially when things get a bit more sociable. The atmosphere, food, and beer simply go together here – a classic for me that I enjoy visiting again and again.

Great food, great beer. 🍺 What more could you need?

Just stop by before the game and chat about football and enjoy some delicious food and drinks. A cult favorite for every football fan.

The price/performance ratio is top-notch. The staff was very friendly and always available, with helpful tips. And the food was simply delicious 😋

The Giesinger Bräustüberl impresses with its very pleasant atmosphere. There are several small beer gardens surrounding the building, each with its own charm. Inside, you'll find various areas – be it at the bar, next to the brewing kettles, or in the separate bar area with music. The location near the Holy Cross Church is particularly beautiful: the protective wall facing the street and the green surroundings almost make you feel like you're away from the city. The cuisine is solid Bavarian fare, but with a modern and sometimes creative interpretation. I'd like to highlight the beer, which is truly excellent. Vegetarians will also find their money's worth here, as there's a much larger selection than you're used to at breweries. On the less positive side, it gets very crowded at peak times, which can lead to longer wait times for service and food. Prices are also on the higher side. Nevertheless, anyone looking for good beer and a special brewery atmosphere will certainly enjoy returning here.

Delicious food, delicious beer. Also recommended for vegetarians. The menu may be small, but it's really to the point and very well-executed.

We were here for a wedding. The best beer in Munich and super delicious food! Highly recommended!

Excellent selection of drinks, great service, super friendly owners. Always happy to come back.

A cool brewery, a cozy and appealing location, friendly, cheerful, and very attentive staff. And to top it off, the food is really good – I can only recommend it. It was a great time!

Very tasty beer and a good selection. Very friendly service. The starter soup was good, but the quantity was more like a soup... Sitting on the balcony is functional, but a bit uncomfortable. When ordering our third beer, I had to wait a long time and be reminded twice... certainly an exception.

Cozy little room, ideal for chatting

Always excellent at Giesinger Bräu. My favorite place for Bavarian dishes. You won't find better quality anywhere else.

Invites you to comfortable outdoor seating. The wide beer selection and the food are both very impressive!

This is the second time I've received an email from a lawyer alleging defamation. I still have my reservation confirmation and am happy to forward it. Now for my experience: I was there on December 22nd. The schnitzel was okay. Of course, veal is expensive, but with the bland fried potatoes, it was unfortunately not worth it. The server was good, and the atmosphere in the brewhouse was good. We specifically checked online beforehand to see what time you're open, and it says midnight. You don't expect the waiter to be asking for the last round at 10 p.m.

Here's another attempt to rate the restaurant. Unfortunately, negative reviews are always deleted for alleged slander or defamation (clearly visible in the reviews). This also happens to friends and acquaintances. It's a shame that Giesinger bräu or Herr Marx apparently have a hard time dealing with negative reviews. This should be about criticism and freedom of expression. Although the criticism was more about the unsatisfactory price-performance ratio of the food and also the taste of certain dishes (well, if it doesn't taste good, then I don't like it). And every time, the beer selection and the taste of the beer were rated positively by me.

The atmosphere and service were truly excellent. Unfortunately, the food couldn't keep up. I had the tagliatelle with chanterelle mushrooms, which were unfortunately very greasy and completely tasteless. The portion size was also rather disappointing. For the price, I would have expected significantly more – in my opinion, the value for money for the food wasn't quite right.

A quaint restaurant with a covered terrace and beer garden, not far from the subway station. The service was excellent, the beer simply delicious, and the food beautifully presented and incredibly good. It's nice that, unlike many other Bavarian restaurants, vegans and vegetarians are also catered for here. One point deducted for the truly unpleasant noise level. It's almost impossible to have a normal conversation here.

The staff was very friendly, the atmosphere was nice, but the prices are simply outrageous for the portions. I paid 7 euros for a simple pancake soup, which came in a milk jug and was gone after three spoonfuls. You can go there for a beer once in a while, but you'll definitely never see me for dinner again.

Great place, with very friendly and attentive service, and the food was good too. But the best part, of course, is the beer 😃🍺

The prices for the size of the meals are unbelievably outrageous. We definitely won't be coming back.

We visited Gisinger Bräu with a larger group and were overall very satisfied with our visit. The ambiance is rustic and cozy, and the service was consistently friendly, attentive, and warm – you immediately feel welcome. Unfortunately, there were a few minor drawbacks: The pretzels were sold out by 6 p.m., which is a shame for a brewery. The one that was left didn't seem quite fresh either. The cheese spaetzle wasn't quite as good either – they were quite soggy and could have used a bit more seasoning. Nevertheless: The atmosphere was great, the service was excellent, and everyone enjoyed the beer. With a few minor improvements to the food, we'd definitely be happy to come back!

Great beer, great food. Lots of veggies.

Don't sit on the stage; it's too bright and service rarely reaches the stage. The food is delicious, but a bit expensive.

The best beer hall I've been to in Munich. It's not a touristy beer hall, so the prices are higher, but in my opinion they're absolutely justified. The food is excellent, and I was able to sample craft beers that I found truly delicious and unique (I bought a case, just to give you an idea). Compliments to the staff: thanks to their advice and kindness, the food pairings were excellent, and the evening was even more enjoyable. Highly recommended, I'll definitely be back.

I'm a big fan of Giesinger Bräu and its beers, but the food is unfortunately a bit expensive considering the brewery's upscale image.

We were wonderfully entertained with delicious food and delicious drinks. There is a cheerful, friendly atmosphere here with the best service staff. We had an overall lovely evening.

Yes, but it was very loud. The food was great!

Service and location were top-notch. I found the value for money a bit steep. For example, I was confused by why the vegetarian roast beef with onions was so expensive (I can understand that with meat). I opted for the roast pork. It was quite good, but for the price, I expected a larger portion or more refinement.

I always enjoy going to the Giesinger Braustüberl. The beer and food are delicious.

I've been to the Bräustüberl twice now and I'm impressed by the beer selection and quality. I also really enjoyed the food and service.

I had to pay €66 for this meal for two people. It's way too expensive and not worth it.

Great food with fantastic beer accompaniment!

Great little beer garden Lovely atmosphere and good food

For drinks, I can absolutely recommend the Leuchtung! A very tasty beer, and the price is perfectly reasonable. The food was a bit pricey, but the taste was very good!

Went there to try their beers, which was quite satisfactory. The food, though not noteworthily delicious, was fresh, well cooked, fulfilling, and lovingly made.

Very cool. Nice pub. The beer selection is amazing. Definitely worth a visit. The rolled roast was delicious. The Bavarian cream was good, but a bit small. However, the Kaiserschmarrn was outstanding. We'll be back.

Nice and clean with a good atmosphere

We were here for a wedding reception, and the location is truly beautiful. A fantastic venue for a celebration with plenty of space and an adjoining terrace. The staff was very friendly and incredibly attentive. Excellent. We personally didn't like the food all that much, but that's a matter of taste. All in all, highly recommended.

There's delicious beer here for every taste, along with delicious food, but unfortunately, nothing to nibble on. The liver was very tasty and came with plenty of sauce.

Kitchen open, but restaurant closed???

I had roast pork with Semmeknedl, which at 17.90 is quite a statement. Unfortunately, it was more reminiscent of pork carpaccio with dumplings 🫤

Top restaurant, excellent food (even if a bit expensive, but the quality is indeed there) and great selections of fresh beers. I liked the atmosphere too, relaxed and friendly but still refined with good design once inside

Finally made it to Giesinger after a city tour through the village of Giesing. Very friendly and relaxed waiters led us to a table, everything lovingly and casually decorated. They were out of sausages, so we had a simple salad and the glass noodles. The latter were particularly delicious, and fairly priced for the slightly higher prices (compared to Bavarian restaurants). We also had two beers (Erhellung and the light draft beer, both with a nice hoppy flavor). I liked it there.

The beer is really delicious and the staff very friendly. We weren't so happy with the food. The portions were really small, and the duck was very dry. My wife had a stomachache all night after her Kaiserschmarrn. Our conclusion: we'd come back for the beer, but not for the food.

Great choice of beer, all taste absolutely good. The service was quick and the food was cooked very well. I also appreciated the atmosphere; there were places outside with a view of green trees, so it was a pleasure to drink their beer, eat, and have a rest.

Lovely beer garden, big portions

Tip! Service is slow, but the beer is top-notch. Lighting is the noise!!

Delicious food, but the portions are a bit smaller. The beer is decent, though. The atmosphere and beer garden are very pleasant, except for the loud drunks. I'd be happy to come back if I'm invited again for promotional purposes.

Great atmosphere with nice food

Very nice place, very good food, reservation required!

Giesinger Bräu offers great beers and is a good place to stop if you're in the area. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The menu features typical Bavarian dishes. I found the cheese spaetzle I ordered to be a bit soft and mushy, and the portion size was also modest, as was the very small side salad. Unfortunately, the value for money here is so-so...

Nice ambiance, excellent beer selection, friendly service. Typical brewery food.

Had a lovely evening. Delicious food.

We were here on recommendation, very good food, good drinks, fast cooking, top service

Very cool, modern brewery. Lots of vegetarian options.

The vegan roast beef with onions. Awesome dish, and the name is an understatement in my opinion. It's actually the best meat-based dish I've ever eaten. You get a piece of 'meat' that looks like a medium filet mignon with the perfect consistency. It tastes really, really good. The side dishes are very tasty and as delicious as a side dish should be for a filet mignon. A truly incredible dish. Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo. It looked fantastic.

Absolutely recommended! The food and beer are much better than in the tourist breweries. Less crowd, but quality.

Excellent Bavarian delicacies 😋 😋 😋 in a very cozy atmosphere as well as fast and friendly service and for me the best Helles 🍺 in the world

Went to the 1860 vs. RWE game at the Giesinger Brauhaus: relaxed, cold bottled beer, grilled sausages, everything was great!

An exceptionally authentic brewery with excellent beers, friendly service, and a fantastic selection of vegetarian dishes. Highly recommended!

Great organic food, the beer is good as well.

Great location with good food. The bar with changing events is also highly recommended.

Great service, very friendly the food is delicious. Pretty sure will come back next time .

The Original Wiener schnitzel, knuspriges Ente and Kaiserschmarrn were excellent - will be our to-go-order on next visits. But the Greenforce Burger was disappointing, and when it came from a unfussy easy-to-please vegetarian, the remark speaks volumes.

After exploring central Munich, we asked ChatGPT for suggestions on more local experiences nearby, and it recommended Giesing. We took a bus and arrived in about 20–25 minutes. After walking around the area for a bit, we decided to try a beer at this historic and traditional brewery. We arrived around 5 PM. The place wasn’t full, but they asked if we were going to eat. When we said we were only here for drinks, they didn’t seat us at a table and instead directed us to the bar area. This wasn’t a big issue, but considering the place has two floors and plenty of tables, it would have been nicer if they let us sit at a table. We tried three different beers: Das Weißbier, Das Dunkle, and Münchner Hell. Das Dunkle was my personal favorite 🍺 By the way, you can also order a beer tasting set, which comes in 100 ml glasses—perfect if you want to sample a few varieties. I’ve attached photos of the beer selection and the menu. In terms of both price and taste, we found it quite good. I think it’s worth stopping by here to give some local flavors a try while in Munich 🍻 Also, the outdoor garden area looked really nice—definitely worth checking out if the weather is good.

The Giesinger Bräustüberl is a very nice brewery with various small beer gardens around the building. There are also various dining areas, some near the brewing kettles or at the bar. There is also a separate stand-up bar with music, separated from the actual bar. The location close to the Holy Cross Church is also charming. Because the brewery is shielded from the street by a wall on one side and surrounded by trees and wild vines on the other, it's easy to forget the big city here. The food is solid, but especially the beer is excellent. The dishes are Bavarian standard, but have a more modern design and are sometimes slightly reinterpreted. It should be positively mentioned here that as a vegetarian you not only have to eat Kässpatzen, but you can also choose from an unusually large menu. For me, the Bräustüberl has the character of a local pub.

I had the brewery platter, and it was great in terms of variety and selection. The beer was also very tasty.

Delicious beers, friendly service, and a menu that allows everyone (meat, vegetarian, vegan) to sample Bavarian tradition. For me, the best modern inn

Modern but cozy brewery, nice location, also for larger groups. Service is always on point and very friendly. Beer and Giesinger Spritz are delicious and drinkable. Food is good, but the portions could be a bit larger for the price, but the taste is good. Dishes are designed to be more modern with small, beautiful decorative twists. It's also nice that there are many different vegetarian and vegan alternatives.

I didn't like it. The food was only lukewarm, one meal was apparently forgotten, delivered later and was not cooked. The order could only be placed after a long wait. We had reserved, there were only time slots of 2 hours. In my opinion not recommended. Too bad

The food was nothing special, the rolled roast was more fatty than meat

Very friendly service, reasonable prices for white sausage breakfast and delicious beer. You sit outside on the street, but there isn't that much traffic.

Absolutely recommended, everything was great

Very good beer, good selection. But the food is absolutely not recommended for the price. Overpriced and the quality wasn't great either. A no-go for the hefty price.

again and again, cozy brewery with great beer

The lightening from the barrel is very, very tasty. Food also recommended :)

Unfriendly conditions. Guests not welcome.

I was here for the first time and was very pleasantly surprised. Very interesting seasonal dishes and standard menu. Good beers and pleasant atmosphere.

Um, how cool is that? Extremely good beer, great selection, there is something for every taste. Excellent service staff. And the card - deserves an innovation award. I've been eating vegetarian and like meat alternatives for 15 years. This vegan steak aka "Vegan Onion Roast" is the best I've ever had in presentation, texture and taste. Thanks to the kitchen team for this experience. Absolute recommendation! ♡

Price/performance: 9/10 Taste: 9/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Veggie: 10/10 Small, fine menu with selected Bavarian specialties and vegetarian alternatives. We sat at a large table outside on the terrace. Service was great. The speed too. Nothing to complain about. A variety of different beers, very tasty. We would come back straight away! Update 2024: We were here again and again we really enjoyed it. The beer selection & the food. The service was super nice. Many different and unusual vegetarian and vegan dishes. Update 2025: Here again a year later and on the advice of the restaurant, this time I ate the vegan onion roast. And what can I say? I still dream about it. Really a great pub where vegans also get their money's worth.

Nice relaxed local pub, with great beer.

The good beer is always a reason to come back.

Food super tasty. Unfortunately, the homemade iced tea didn't taste like anything

Very good food and drinks.Loved it!

Very good food, we liked that you could try different types of beer.

Good bye! Yesterday we went to the event “Two goulash and two Seidl beers” at Giesinger and we really enjoyed the program. You know the beer, but we were once again very disappointed with the food. If the program invites you with goulash, then you would think that you would get goulash - but far from it. It was more like schnitzel with cream sauce (small shredded chunks of meat) - what was that? Doesn't the cook know goulash????? But we were already disappointed last summer; the cheese plate back then was also a disappointment. Mini chunks of Emmental cheese with hard, dried edges and 2 more, well, pieces of cheese. We can't really recommend eating at Giesinger.

No words (because it was super fun and I don't remember much after the beers...)

Great local. The Giesinger beer is super delicious and what particularly stands out are the vegan options on the menu! I would like to come here again.

It's a pity to see it turn out like this over time, expensive not-tasty, not-relevant food, and grumpy waiters...beer is great as always.
