Löwenbräukeller - Das Original in München

Classic German bierhall experience!

两人同行不要听服务员推荐选择27.5欧每人的套餐，份量极大根本吃不完！ // I was extremely dissatisfied with the service at this restaurant. The waiter deliberately recommended the most expensive set menu on the menu (€55, listed as €27.5 per person), without considering whether it was appropriate for us—a party of just one man and one woman. The portion was enormous, something I was unaware of beforehand, and we even ordered an additional potato salad. Despite this, the waiter failed to warn us about the excessive quantity of food. Having visited many customer-friendly restaurants, I know that attentive staff often kindly remind diners when they order too much or suggest more suitable options. This was not the case here. Instead, they pushed the priciest option, which I now see as a blatant attempt to upsell without regard for customer satisfaction. As travelers, we had no means to properly store the leftover food, leaving us unable to finish the meal. Later, I read reviews and discovered that this practice of recommending high-priced dishes has been reported by other diners as well. This reflects poorly on the restaurant’s ethics and integrity. In my opinion, this behavior is both unethical and dishonest. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a trustworthy and customer-focused dining experience. // I was extremely dissatisfied with the service at this restaurant. The waiter deliberately recommended us the most expensive menu on the menu (€55, listed as €27.50 per person) without considering whether it was appropriate for us - a man and a woman. The portion was huge, which I wasn't aware of beforehand, and we also ordered a potato salad. Still, the waiter didn't point out to us that the quantity might be too large. I have visited many hospitable restaurants where the staff politely points out when guests are ordering too much or suggests suitable alternatives. But that wasn't the case here. Instead, the most expensive menu was forced on us - for me, a clear attempt to make more sales without taking customer satisfaction into account. Since we were only here while traveling, we had no way to properly store the leftover food and couldn't finish the food. I later read in the reviews that this practice of recommending expensive dishes also happened to other guests. This reflects very poorly on the ethics and integrity of the restaurant. In my opinion, this behavior is both unethical and dishonest. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone who values ​​trustworthy and customer-oriented service.

We were very disappointed with our visit to this restaurant. The service left a lot to be desired. Our waiter actively tried to force more expensive dishes on us, which was very unpleasant. When a friend of ours chose a roast knuckle for €18, she was talked out of this choice - the waiter claimed she wouldn't be able to do it anyway. We found this to be extremely rude and disrespectful. She felt compelled to order a schnitzel for €30 instead, even though it wasn't her first choice. In addition, we ended up having to wait 30 minutes for the bill, which further reinforced the negative impression. Overall, a very disappointing visit that we cannot recommend.

Unfortunately, an extremely disappointing experience. The service was simply outrageous. We politely asked if there was a children's schnitzel as we were young women and couldn't eat that much. The waiter's answer: Yes, there is children's schnitzel, but he doesn't want to sell it to us. I then wanted to order the roast pork knuckle, the cheaper dish, to which he said: 'You can't handle that.' Instead he forced the large schnitzel on me for 30 euros (it was totally dry). That was really disrespectful and patronizing. To make matters worse, we waited half an hour for the bill. Price-performance ratio is catastrophic and the service is simply subpar. Absolutely not recommended! I prefer to recommend the Wirtshaus Max Emanuel.

The duck was very well prepared, very tasty. The attentive service and the constant supply of drinks made for a very well-rounded evening

Awesome looking place, very busy enquired about a table the guy running the desk had an disgraceful attitude and turned his back on us. Sat in the beergarden for 1 beer which was lovely. Should have booked granted but no need for the rudeness at all.

Of all such restaurants in Munich, I liked it here the most. There is no fuss, there are always free seats, the prices are lower than in other restaurants of Bavarian breweries. The interior is very interesting, the food is tasty, the beer too. Of all the restaurants in Munich, I liked this one the best. There is no excitement, there are always free seats, the prices are lower than in other restaurants of Bavarian breweries. The interior is very interesting, the food is delicious, the beer too.

Typical Bavarian pub hall with separate rooms in a central location. We were there for the Christmas party with a menu. The food was okay, but not a highlight. The service was very changeable - quick for food, while you often had to wait a long time or ask for drinks. In general the noise level is very high. I would recommend the location more for a private get-together than a company party.

We were there for the first time. In the evening we were already impressed by the building and the restaurant!! The food was commendable and the portion was nice. Despite the large number of guests, the entire staff was calm and well-coordinated!! A special mention must be made of the man behind the counter! Because he *works* for 3!! The counter is always tidy and there is no chaos! This is his achievement!! The musical accompaniment by: Bayrisch Extrem* was an additional plus point!!! The evening was perfect, unforgettable and simply wonderful! We'll definitely be back. Stay as you are and keep it up!! You are awesome!!!!!!

Do not eat here. Overcharged by €20+ for our meal. We were rudely greeted at the entrance, and our menus thrown down on the table. Our server was Sameer, and he was not nice to us. We ordered beers that were listed as only .5L, and he brought and charged us for 1L (almost double the price). He attempted to “recommend” the most expensive item on the menu, and was rude when we did not choose that. The food was okay, nothing special. Our total should have been around 55 euro but we were charged 77 euro with no explanation. He did not offer to tell us what all we were being charged for, as every other restaurant has, and we were not shown it either. There are much better restaurants to go to in Munich.

Our server was angry the whole time, brought out food sporadically wasn't attentive with refilling biers, had to hunt him down to pay. Food was great, appetizers on point, dessert was great. But service...

Nice atmosphere and surroundings, but food quality is not great: undercooked sausages that we told to waiter who didn’t do anything about it; and got the more expensive calf schnitzel when I specifically asked for cheaper schnitzel Art - and told to pay for the more expensive Schnitzel I did not order. Price/quality ratio is not great - much better authentic German food options nearby.

It was great and beautiful, but the prices are already very high..

Bavarian brewery with traditional food and live music.

Had a knuckle that was delicious. Of course it's big and full, the service was attentive. I found the three-man brass band that moved from table to table a bit annoying. Certainly a cultural thing, but I found it too intrusive (also with the collection, which makes you feel bad if you don't add anything and is motivated to empty your beer every 5 minutes). Actually a reason for me not to go there again.

It's been a long time since I've been to the Löwenbräukeller. The food and beer were very tasty. The prices are a little higher than the competition, but all in all it's okay. The service was great, so everything was fine

We were here as a Christmas party with the company. Unfortunately, this is absolutely not recommended. The atmosphere is more Oktoberfest than Christmas, even though they made an effort to decorate something for Christmas. But it's also just way too loud there. Even at a distance of 20 cm you have to scream. There is no “Christmas” feeling. The brass band played Oktoberfest music. Cruel for me. The duck from the weekly menu tasted excellent.

Unfortunately, I cannot report positively about my visit to this restaurant. I tried several times to leave honest reviews, but the owners kept deleting them. This reflects poorly on transparency and the handling of customer feedback. The atmosphere and the food did not live up to expectations based on the pictures and advertising. In addition, the friendliness of the staff was unfortunately not there, which further clouded the overall impression. I can therefore not recommend this restaurant and hope that the owners will be more open to constructive criticism in the future.

Starting with the location and the atmosphere - what a beautiful place to enjoy some beers and food - it's a buzzing, historical place where you end up sat next to friendly strangers, enjoying some amazing beer. The food also is very good - even as a vegan I was surprised, I had the lentil stew/soup which was delicious, along with a mixed salad with house dressing, plus a few beers - I was very happy, and most importantly, full. Unfortunately what let the visit down was the service, served by someone who constantly forgot our order, got the bill wrong for the gentlemen opposite us, effectively threw dishes and beer down in front of us and generally just gave the vibe he despised being there. I would absolutely come back, a couple more vegan options might be nice (even a simple vegan burger and fries or a vegan Currywurst could be a good addition?) and maybe with a different waiter would be better, but overall it was an ok experience.

Fab place, loved it. Cant fault it, fab service, beer and food

As soon as we arrived in Munich and near our hotel we found this restaurant where we ate very well and the waiter was very kind and friendly, also friendly when speaking in Italian. Spatzle with cheese are delicious and the Wiener schnitzels are also excellent. Not to mention the Kaisershmarrem.....sublime!! 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

During our stay in Munchen, we visited many breweries. I liked Lowenbrau the most! Beer is delicious, food is great!

Outside the historic center, it is another characteristic place worth trying. There isn't the "frenzy" of the Hofbräuhaus but the atmosphere is still lively, also thanks to the orchestra that plays live music. Here you can also book for 2 or 3 people. The service is, as always, quick and therefore waiting times are short.

Unfortunately we didn't have a good experience at the Löwenbräukeller. We had an unfriendly waiter who displayed a very strong passive aggressive manner. It's just not fun to spend time there. We left immediately after our first order. No recommendation.

Outstanding beer, very good service. Taste food.

Löwenbräukeller offers a classic Munich dining experience with fantastic food, great beer, and a lively atmosphere. The service was friendly and efficient overall, but we experienced a disappointing issue during our visit. The host seated us in an area that had been reserved for another party, and halfway through our meal, we were presented with the bill and informed we would need to move. This interruption dampened the experience and felt like a service misstep. That said, the quality of the food and drinks still made it a worthwhile visit. It’s a great spot for traditional Bavarian fare and beer, but we hope for a smoother experience next time.

For Italians: Prices slightly high but considering the place, the country and the environment of the place they are fair. The food is excellent, we tried different dishes (shin, sauerkraut, can salad, gnocchi and strudel) all very good. Obviously excellent beer. As I already said, the environment is suggestive and Bavarian-like, a nice experience. Terrible service; it gave us the impression that, being the only foreigners that this particular waiter served, he treated us with disdain, but again, it's an impression. He was certainly tipsy. He forgot the dishes ordered, we asked 4 times for 2 strudels and 5 times for pretzels which in the end never arrived. At the reception the lady also made a frown on us and the thing that bothered me most of all, neither of the two people who served us knew how to speak English and interact with foreign customers.

too loud... food ok... service reorganized

Only had a beer and Strudel but enjoyed both, band was friendly and had a family friendly atmosphere

Nice location. Good food, good beer.

We came to the Löwenbräukeller for lunch and had corresponding expectations. Unfortunately, our visit was overshadowed by disputes among the staff, and the location right at the entrance was of course inconvenient because we didn't want to hear everything from there. No matter what happened, the guests should not notice any disagreements/arguments etc. Less than 5 minutes went by without the lady at the entrance summoning a waiter and making a fuss. We felt extremely uncomfortable and the tension was palpable. The beer tasted delicious and our waiter was also quite friendly and quick. We were only disappointed by the food, which came within 5 minutes and was therefore not fresh. A roast with very little crust and a dumpling, unfortunately carelessly prepared. The baked potato was only lukewarm, but served quite appetizingly with salad. We definitely won't be coming back, all in all a disappointing visit and no comparison to my previous visit in 2019.

very nice location at Siglmaierplatz

The epitome of a tourist trap when it comes to the food, which is absolutely ghastly! I have had better German classics at motorway services than here. If you are here just for the beer then it’s perfectly fine, but don’t expect to experience genuine Bavarian cuisine in this place.

I don't have any major objections to food. However, the employer completely exploits the staff. They seem to have to work under degrading conditions and are clearly underpaid. They beg for tips at every table. If you don't give them anything, they even become aggressive and even insult the customers. I only know something like that from the drug scene at the main train station. This completely ruined my appetite. Therefore only 2 stars for the food.

Were there for lunch. The price wasn't exactly cheap but the food was extremely tasty! Both had the pulled pork burger, highly recommended. Service very friendly and quick. I'd love to come back!

The roast pork with crust and a nice beer is highly recommended here. I would rather not eat the schnitzel. We can also recommend the Dallmayr Cappuccino.

Third time I come and they want to charge us more, a disgrace, I do not recommend it, be careful

This restaurant is aesthetically beautiful. The palace is worth the view. It is outside the center and to reach it you need transport or a great desire to walk. The food and beer aren't bad and the atmosphere is quaint too. Unfortunately, however, the staff is not up to par. Since they saw me as clearly a tourist and having difficulty with the language, the waiter took the liberty of loading the bill by talking about some food which, unfortunately, I was unable to reply to. My mistake so be careful if you go. It's worth a visit for the beer.

Surprisingly, we were left disappointed. We ordered pork ribs - extremely dry, tough meat, a ton of bbq sauce. Bavarian salad is pure vinegar. In other similar establishments in Munich, it was much better in two days.

The food is really excellent, but unfortunately the service leaves a lot to be desired. If the waiters don't receive enough tips, they are arrogant and rude. Unfortunately, this significantly reduces the overall impression.

A major event was well organized and the service was very good

Arrogant, aggressive, racist, and scammy. We were a group of two Germans and two foreigners. They intentionally served us before our order so they could have more to bill to us. We complained and the reaction was gaslighting and refusal to right their error. Their cheap scam attempt cost them the rest of our business. Stay clear by all means.

I think I was too expensive for the food they were serving, my experience was not good with the staff and the menu was not clear about pricing of share dishes. Easy skip

Good food but everything else leaves something to be desired and excessively expensive!. To flee!

Just great, service, food, atmosphere

Were at Tegernsee and in this restaurant for the first time

A place steeped in history in the heart of Munich. The Löwenbräukeller is worth a visit just to take a look at the building. But the food shouldn't go unmentioned here! The roast suckling pig in particular is an absolute highlight here. We always enjoy coming here!

What a good way to start our break food superb we had the roast pork sharing platter, service brilliant, beer spot on and oompah band perfect alpine horn was an added bonus

Fantastic brewery where you can spend evenings with friends and taste typical Bavarian dishes. The stage at the back of the room allows excellent bands to perform and liven up the evening with live music.

Really casual location for a few fresh cold beers and delicious food

Great for lunch or dinner while in Munich.

Unfortunately, eating is not recommended...

Terrible experience. Rude and rude waiter. We didn't get up and leave out of politeness. Terrible food and high bill. Highly not recommended 😡

Good pork roast. Mushrooms with bread dumplings too much cream, not enough mushrooms. Cheese spaetzle swims in fat

Very good . Better than in the crowded city center. There is always space here

The musicians are nice and friendly. The food is good but the service was lax. We wanted to order he told us he will come to us in a moment after 20 minutes we asked again he told us he will come in a minute after 30 minutes we asked again he told us the same as before until he came to pick up our order. In total we waited an hour for him to come and take our order.

Food and atmosphere is really good for a hangout with friends or a team outing, good food options and a lot of good beer!

Even for a Bavarian inn, the service was so unfriendly that it wasn't any fun. And if you're going to be unfriendly then you at least have to be quick but that didn't work either.

Prefer other less touristy beer halls but enjoyable nevertheless.

Great Bavarian atmosphere and friendly staff. Rooms very comfortable and recommended. I'd love to come back with my wife. Keep it up! Greetings from Lower Bavaria.👍🙋

Was there for lunch today. Very nice atmosphere and the food was very tasty

The Löwenbräukeller in Munich is a traditional Bavarian inn with a cozy atmosphere and a beautiful beer garden. Here you can enjoy classic Bavarian dishes such as pork knuckle and white sausage, as well as a large selection of Löwenbräu beers. The restaurant is a popular meeting place for social evenings and festive occasions, especially during Oktoberfest.

Löwenbrau is said to be one of the top three breweries in Munich, Germany. It is a bit far on foot from Munich Central Station, but it is not difficult to find as it is located at the corner of a major street intersection. First of all, the service part... . There are reviews saying that the staff is unfriendly and that they have experienced racial discrimination, but it's case by case. From what I personally experienced, there was no racism or unfriendliness, but the staff kept trying to encourage me to order more food, which made me feel uncomfortable. We ordered an appropriate amount for two people, but they kept pressuring us if the quantity was not enough. In fact, there was a lot left over. First of all, the portion was large, but the taste was so-so. The sausages were so salty that it was difficult to eat two. I ordered a lager and a dark beer, but it was clear and had less carbonation, so I personally thought it was so-so. Is dark beer better than lager? I additionally ordered the more expensive premium Pils beer, which was more bitter and carbonated, so it suited my taste better. Don't expect much from the food, but it would be a good idea to go there with the mindset of experiencing Munich's signature beer taste. Tips should be paid in proportion to the service received. The staff made me feel so uncomfortable that I left my food and skipped the tip.

Super nice esoteric fair & we were there!!

Just drinking great beer in a sensational setting surrounded by live folk music

Food was luke warm. Service could be friendlier.

The restaurant/food is ok, nothing special! Standard classics of Bavarian cuisine! 🫠

Unfortunately, allergy sufferers cannot eat here. The service was extremely unfriendly!!!! Really annoyed!

Everything is great. You can't complain about anything. The level of German food culture has increased.

Nice restaurant, but staff unfortunately unfriendly.

First of all, the staff's attitude is the worst. I've traveled to dozens of countries and never felt so sick. At this point, I can't give it more than 3 stars. I ate Schweinshachsen, which is said to be a specialty of Munich, but it wasn't delicious at all. Japanese braised pork is 1000 times more delicious. Only beer tastes good. When I asked for the bill, I had to wait 30 minutes. When I asked for a copy of the receipt, he gruffly threw it at me and handed it to me. The atmosphere in the hall is good, so I'm sure the owner is good, but the staff are the worst.

They tried to scam us. The waiter gave himself a tip of €40. He didn't want to bring us the bill and tried to make us pay with the dataphone and goodbye very good. The food is of very low quality

Over charged us €40 and wouldn’t provide an itemised receipt. Staff were rude. The building was beautiful, the food and beer were, great only let down by the service.

Nice setting OK food but terrible, unwelcoming service. The waiter couldn't have been less bothered and his attitude was quite frankly rude. I did complain to management and they didn't seem surprised by my feedback. Reading the other negative reviews I'm not that surprised.

Unmissable Munich brasserie. The dishes are worthy of a brasserie, the beer is good and the atmosphere is reminiscent of Oktoberfest!!

Nice place. Food good, Bavarian standard. The service was quite poor. They sat four guys at a small table, although there was plenty of space around it.

My favorite German restaurant!! Delicious food and very friendly staff!

As many German restaurants, they don't serve free tap water. But this keeps some room to improve: They can become better if management allows them. One waiter finally served tap water, by saying "This is an absolute exception." Restaurants, please get better!

The Löwenbräukeller was very busy. When we asked for a place, we were turned away by a "lady" in an absolutely unfriendly manner that we have never experienced before.

I would have given minus if possible. Worst food and service I have ever had in Germany and I travelled a lot in all over Germany. We had the currywurst and wiener schnitzel and how bad can you make these considering how classic both are… Well apparently you can make them VERY BAD! Curry sausage was as dry as you can make it while the schnitzel was as wet as you can get which was quite confusing :/ Now I know why its almost always so empty! The waiter was rude (even for German standards) didn’t let us order what we want and insisted on the schnitzel. They gave us tourist menus and questioned my german when asked for a german menu. He outright fought with us every step of ordering and I never had such an experience in my entire life. He tried to get our order when clearly my husband was not at the table and I said can you give us 5 mins and he kept saying “drinks order”. Never coming here ever again! Worst German experience ever and I literally feel sorry for anyone who comes here and thinks this is a German standard which it’s definitely not!

Traditional cuisine. Top service and good food

Bavarian brewery. Very touristy in my opinion. The volume is quite high due to the open design. The food was served quickly and was good. Unfortunately you can't swap side dishes (I wanted the side dish of the Wiener Schnitzel with the Wiener Schnitzel; an impossibility). The crusty roast was good and affordable for Munich. Good average, nothing more and nothing less!

Next time again Augustinian! Food didn't come once, late once and the spare rips were terrible.

Ordered a Wiener schnitzel - Was a little bit burned. Very few Preiselbeeren and this for 29.70€ + on top not very friendly service..

I agree with what other guests mentioned about their attitude on this evaluation. bad attitude, and ordinary food & beer. We need to wait very long time to take order and get beer and meals. Everyone should be prepared that they might make you feel bad. We saw many Non German people in a small room or side of the hall because waiters assigned them to these tables and they were not really care about these guests whole time. Especially, the female waiter was terrible. When we finished our dinner, she said to us only the total amount of payment without our bill and took my credit card then swiped it by herself. I was so surprised on her attitude. I asked her to show our bill for checking the detail of our payment, but she was hesitated to do that. After 20 min, she brought our bill and throw it to us. When I checked it, I realized that she added few drinks which we didn’t order on our bill. I told this mistake to her. But she didn’t accept it without any confirmation and didn’t apologize about it too. Then I talked with another waiter about this, so she run to us and refunded 4 euro coins immediately. But actually she added more than 4 euro on our bill. She totally didn’t check how much she needed to refund. I really disappointed at this restaurant and staff because their attitude to guests was not really respectful from the beginning to end. I highly recommend everyone not to go to this restaurant if you want to enjoy your meals and drinks. It’s much better to go to another beer hall or restaurant.

Absolute tourist stronghold. Food was okayish, unfortunately duck wasn't crispy. The pork knuckle was only warm and not hot and unfortunately the dumpling wasn't fresh either. The service was fine, but we had to call several times to order and pay. The noise level was very loud and carrying on a conversation was tiring. If we hadn't had vouchers and had to pay for everything, we would have been annoyed because the price-performance ratio wasn't in balance.

Dirty tablecloth. Unfriendly waitress. The sausage salad is terrible (sausage with cheese covered in vinegar). I haven't tried a worse dish.

Being seated at a table to only have a beer, placing an order and being kicked out because ultimately it is too late according to the bartender. Real contempt from the service staff. No class

Bery nice schnitzel and beer. Yummy.

Historic venue in Munich. Traditional food and excellent cuisine.

wonderful food, nice atmosphere, very cozy

The atmosphere and taste of the restaurant were very good. However, the attitude of the young female clerk in charge was incredibly bad. She ignored me when I called her, cleaned up the food without waiting for an answer even though she was half done eating, and when I asked for the details of the receipt, she handed it to me as if to throw it away. When I checked it, there was a beer listed that I didn't order. When I pointed out the mistake, they only refunded me 4 euros when the original amount was 4.8 euros. The atmosphere of the store was ruined. Worst of all, it ruins the trip.

Brilliant beer and atmospheric beer hall

Sunday afternoon, 2:30 p.m., we would have liked to have a late lunch for two. Although there were numerous free tables without reservations, we were assigned a marginal table right next to the kitchen. We left again.

Food was okay, a bit difficult to get the next beer and we waited too long for dessert then it arrived cold

Super nice restaurant with a wonderful charm. Due to overproduction, we were offered dessert that would otherwise have had to be thrown away. But it could still be found on the invoice. That had a strange aftertaste.

Weisswursts were better; maybe not completely fresh on Monday!?!? Still always worth a visit!

Good food and friendly service.

Food was very tasty. But the volume in the hall was already very high. Otherwise a real Munich beer cellar.

Great beer hall with classic translation dishes done honestly at a fair price. What is expected
