Löwenbräukeller - Das Original in München

An authentic beer garden and brewery...

A big Bavarian pub, more for the tourists but hits the spot.

To do when you want to immerse yourself in Bavarian gastronomy!

The menu said "beefburger", did not exist. Waiter was very grumpy. Beer was fantastic

Great restaurant and nice ambience, the service and the food were also very good!

Disastrous experience at the bauma event: there was a vegan menu on the menu, which I signed up for straight away. The starter (salad) came about 1 hour after the regular starter was served, everyone else's plates had already been cleared by then. The main course didn't come at all, about 30 minutes after the complaint I was told that unfortunately it was too late now, but I could eat dessert. I've really never experienced anything like this before.

It is my Beergarden of preference to bring my friends when they visit me in Munich. I mostly like the garden but the interior is also nice. Food is pretty good. Menus are available in different languages. The waiters can range from very friendly to rather rude.

Great ambience Our waiter was always helpful Food was good The band absolutely nailed it with music on request for a small donation... but the boys could also play anything 🙃

The food tasted good, there was a nice selection! The service was very friendly and attentive. Prices typical of Munich, but good quality!

We had dinner on the ground floor while there was a superparty in the festhalle. The vote is penalized because the beautiful environment was that of the large room accessible with the monumental staircase, to which we did not have access.

Good food in a good setting, service was a little slow, but it was full to bursting. Expect it's better when quieter

Bad service, the food was not good.

Review of the strong beer festival... Everything used to be better. Beer benches instead of chairs, narrow beer tables instead of bar tables, only one band (which was very good) instead of two. No more Stoahebn or other supporting program.... Beer price like at the Oktoberfest, Löwenbräukeller, how nice you were back then... Now you're just "ordinary"... What a shame..

We were here for breakfast. The food and drinks were great and the beer garden is very cozy. Unfortunately the experience was greatly marred by the behavior of the maître. From greeting to paying, we were treated unfriendly and condescending for no reason. At this point we were almost the only customers, so Mr. Milan wasn't under any stress. Too bad...

Eight of us were at the Starkierfest last night. Unfortunately, people in Munich are already used to the fact that a pint of beer costs €14.50. But charging €15 for a currywurst with a slice of bread is very rip-off like...

Of the three major breweries in Munich, this is the most reasonable and friendly. Overall, the food was satisfactory and the servers were friendly.

It was just world class, excellent quality, everything was perfect

If the measure for 14.50 from which 2 sips are drunk while you go for a smoke is collected directly by the staff, it is called a rip-off.

It's ok. Better food and cheaper löwenbrau elsewhere

Went for the starkbier festival. Good service, very different from Paulaner's festival, which was also very good.

One of the “must see”s in Munich. Super crowded, people were enjoying with traditional songs and dance, beer was good

I've only ever been when it isn't busy but I've always been happy to be there and to get a couple of beers and some food. The food is hearty and proper German. On occasion they have a band playing which adds to the atmosphere but I enjoy just being I'm the building anyway. The beer is simply lovely!

Very great strong beer festival.. unfortunately the prices are getting steep.. you have to know and want to... otherwise mega

The beir is wonderful. The food is good, portion sizes are large. The staff is friendly.

Nice space, good food, mediocre beer.

Friendly staffs. The beer is just fantastic.

Went with a large group and the waiter overcharged us by €7, likely adding his own tip without asking. Another friend specified a tip and was still overcharged from the total they requested…

I had a good time, welcoming atmosphere, decent food, decent beer, I think it needs to be improved a bit both for the food and the service

We don't live far away and have given the Löwenbräukeller a chance several times and have been disappointed each time. In contrast to comparable places in the city, the prices are by far the highest. But you also get the city's underground service. All the service staff across the board are standing around bored, chatting with each other and making every guest feel absolutely unwanted. Sometimes I thought I had to apologize when I wanted to place an order. We had to wait several times for more than 20 minutes in the relaxed atmosphere in the beer garden and also inside the restaurant until our order was taken and another 20 minutes until the first drinks were brought. We will never visit this inn again.

amazing place! my friends and i stumbled on while bar hoping right into a massive concert like event. it was super fun and the band had great energy. from an american perspective - it was exactly like what you always hear about for germany! would totally go again.

Food was cold and made with a lot of ready-made products, but the beer was delicious.

Great ambience Mega Strong Beer Festival highly recommended food good beer delicious 😋

The service really goes above and beyond. Super friendly and communicative.

Brilliant place to go for a real feel of Bavaria...loved it!!!

It's just what it is - a Munich classic. In my opinion, this is where you get the best food of the big beer restaurants in Munich.

Had a lot of fun at the starkbierfest! Great location!

We ate lunch. There weren't many people and they served us quickly. The beer is great. If it's not cold you can eat outside. You can't do separate bills.

They actually say that you can't go wrong with a schnitzel in a Bavarian restaurant. But what was delivered here was definitely not worthy of a Löwenbräukeller. I would even say it's an absolute impudence and then it's on the weekly menu, where you already have an attitude of expectation. Any schnitzel from a gas station snack bar is better. Two small, wafer-thin slices of meat made in the fryer and a “ready-made potato salad” from the wholesale market. The main thing is that they are cheap to produce and sold at a high price. Nobody will be interested in the criticism, since so many tourists only go in here once and the store is still always full, you can reduce the quality.

STRONG strong beer evening with delicious Triumphator beer❗ I was there last Friday, everything was perfect: great atmosphere, perfect service, ... The only thing that wasn't right: a BLACK woman was hired as the toilet attendant. I think that for such a not-so-difficult job, people from this continent, for example, should be hired, rather than Black people. Black people are welcome in the service! (But I didn't see any there)

Yes definitely, great location. Beer was super delicious and food too. Gladly again.

You can eat and drink beer there! Quaint surroundings...

Anyone visiting Munich should visit this location. I can only recommend...

Top location, we felt very comfortable in the beer garden and were served professionally. 🙏

Strong beer tapping in the Löwenbräukelker...if only I had stayed at home. Subpar food, poor service and ambience...what ambience??? 10 people are crammed into the beer bench, seating has been abolished. Just a rip off!!! Shame on you! There's only one star because I can't post the post otherwise. So he was just tricked.

Dear Löwenbräu team, I was at your strong beer festival last Saturday at a reserved table, which unfortunately didn't quite meet my expectations... 1. Unfortunately the menu took a long time to get through (the Kaiserscharrn came around 9:30 p.m./10 p.m....) 2. Card payment is a joke. They say you can pay with a card, but the personal waitress then makes it very clear to you that this is undesirable... (plus you have to get up and pay with a card somewhere else - there are no card machines at the strong beer festival?) Volskfest vibes or not, it's ultimately a pub where the standard should be to be able to pay by card without any problems (even at the strong beer festival) 3. And the reason for my review: The prices of the measurements are very unclear! It says on the Insta post of the party department (the cooperation with your strong beer festival) that a liter actually costs €13.50, I was allowed to pay €14.50... Just like with the strong beer, in the reservation portal it costs €14.50, I paid €15.50... (in the portal there is also a liter of normal beer plus entrance fee €14.50? Unfortunately the prices are not comprehensible) I really like the Löwenbräukeller, but to be honest I think that's a disgrace. You come there as a Munich resident and then get ripped off like a run-of-the-mill tourist... You can do that in the Oktoberfest tent, but not here... perhaps this information can be passed on to the staff I'm happy to be corrected if I've misunderstood something somewhere, but I think that's a real shame...

Very good Obazda, always equally good. The strong beer also tastes delicious.

Really enjoyed this place. Service good.

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 are currently in the strong beer festival and the service is terrible

No, Augustinerkeller goes. Cheaper and better. Unfortunately, the meat here was not edible and cost too much. I find €33 for a tough stake simply cheeky. In August it costs €23 and you get more sauce.

After visiting with a group (of course) the food was again allegedly not paid for or remained open. It's strange when everyone eats 1 portion and pays for it. Either the result of the education system or an attempt at fraud... with otherwise small portions and high prices. 1x and never again!

almost historic with good home cooking

Review of the Löwenbräukeller in Munich As a family with a love of Bavarian coziness and a warm atmosphere, my wife, our two sons (7 and 11 years old) and I visited the Löwenbräukeller again - a traditional restaurant that we visit almost every year. The Löwenbräukeller embodies the Bavarian attitude to life in its purest form. The menu offers a selection of solid, classic dishes that are a delight for locals and visitors alike. Particularly noteworthy is the legendary pork roast, which always draws us to this restaurant. It is not only the flagship of the card, but a prime example of the high quality on offer here. The atmosphere in the Löwenbräukeller is unaffected and inviting. The waiters and waitresses are not only friendly and accommodating, but also remarkably fond of children. They interact playfully with our sons, which contributes to a relaxed and happy atmosphere without being intrusive. Despite the often high number of visitors, we always made a reservation - a precautionary measure that proved to be wise, even if it was sometimes not necessary. The waiting times for the food are pleasantly short, even when the restaurant is at full capacity, and rarely exceed ten minutes. The cleanliness of the sanitary facilities is exemplary and contributes to the positive overall impression. In summary, the Löwenbräukeller is an absolute must for anyone who appreciates Bavarian cuisine and atmosphere. The successful combination of rustic coziness, a cheerful atmosphere and consistent, solid food makes this place an unforgettable experience. We can highly recommend the Löwenbräukeller and are already looking forward to our next visit – provided the quality remains consistent. Best regards, Alexander Ehrmann

Bad experience in general, I felt a little hostility in the atmosphere, I do not recommend going to this place to learn about the culture of the city

We we there today at 15:00 we got 2 beers and it was good. Really good, but there was a waitress she took our payment. Our bill amounted to 17 euros we took 1 Löwenbräu Original and 1 Franziskaner 0.5 liters. But she told us 19:40, and we paid it because we didn't pay much attention. But what a disgrace. She basically just added 2:40 Euro tip to her without asking. Watchoit for it tourists. The management of the place watchout for her too. We were at the windows near Biergarden. Best of luck to the place

Quick, uncomplicated Bavarian food. It's a shame that the service speaks poor German.

A really pretty brewery that I chose as the last stop on my trip to Munich, Germany!! I had Schwein Haksen and sausage, and the Haksen was soft and delicious. This is an amazing place with a noisy atmosphere, an old-fashioned building, neatly dressed waiters, delicious food, a manager who shows you to a seat right in front of the door even though there are a lot of seats, Germans who chirp and belittle Asians among the friendly Germans, and a waiter who is clearly aware of the situation but takes no action and expects a tip when paying. But if you think about it… Don't Germans also hate racists who give outsiders a bad perception of their home country? The last beautiful brewery I chose for my trip to Munich, Germany!! I had Schweijn Haksen and Sausage, and the Haksen was soft and delicious. This place has a bustling atmosphere, an antique building, neatly dressed waiters, delicious food, and a manager who guides you right in front of the door even though there are many seats, and the poor German who chants and demeans among kind Germans, and the waiters who are clearly aware of the situation and should be tipped for no action when paying. But when you think about it... Don't Germans hate racists for giving outsiders a bad idea of ​​their home country?

Be careful, local tries to have bad reviews deleted instead of improving!

Great discovery in Munich. We had the daily special, which was delicious, but a little overpriced for what it was. The restaurant is well decorated, a classic of the city and it is well located, easy to find by public transport. The waiter at our table would have benefited from being a little more welcoming and not making people (tourists like us) feel like they were bothering him. But other than that, everything went well.

Very good restaurant, excellent atmosphere. I ate well and I am satisfied with everything. I recommend that anyone who can try it out.

We ordered two portions of fries in the beer garden, which were given to us completely cold. When we pointed this out, we were told "of course we'll take care of it". The fries were then simply warmed up in the oven (including ketchup)... Of course they were soggy and not everyone likes warm ketchup. It's a shame, the location is great.

The restaurant tries to remove bad reviews instead of accepting that the service is super unfriendly. Maybe you should just change it so you can get better reviews!

Instead of accepting the truth they try to remove the reviews which they don't like. They have reported and removed my reviews many times. I'll keep trying to impose my thoughts about them

Great pub! There was even live music :)

I hope I have the opportunity to repeat this experience.

Corporate event Food was so-so (main dishes were Bavarian rustic, the preparation was okay, desserts were okay - Kaiserschmarrn was totally dry, well, and currywurst is in fact not a Bavarian core competency 🤷‍♂️) the service staff was very friendly and helpful The rooms are typically Bavarian rustic

The two of us were there on Saturday, February 1st in the evening. First disappointment unfriendly staff The food came too quickly and didn't meet our expectations. Unfortunately never again!!!!!!

Absolute disappointment, the food there. Frozen schnitzel with potato salad from the bucket.

We were there on Friday, January 31st. there and we had the time of our lives. After Uwe, Andy and Martin warmed us up, the atmosphere was at its peak. What an atmospheric three-man band. We will definitely come back. Greetings Fat Sheeran

The sausage salad with cheese was very tasty, plentiful and well prepared. The pretzel is fresh. Attentive, quick service. Yes, it was a bit loud. But that’s how large-scale catering is!

It was a great celebration in the large hall... The staff was very friendly and the food, which was set up as a buffet, was very tasty

Not as familiar as before but still good.

The pork knuckle was too small, so the waiter gave me another half brought, the Kaiserschmarren was already there 5 minutes later, so it wasn't fresh, it was on hold 😟

Some of the waiters seemed a bit annoyed... others were very friendly, the food was good

The waiters cheated us on tips and made other guys pay for drinks that were never taken at 10pm at the end of the shift they literally sent us out of the restaurant

I was at a company event in front of Orr. Everything was well organized there.

Great operation and service. We felt comfortable.

The location is beautiful, but the experience was disappointing. The food was poor, and there was a clear lack of empathy for families with kids. We asked for a high chair, which they had, but they never brought it. There’s no kids’ menu, and they served food without plates and water with just one glass for four people. It felt like they weren’t prepared or willing to accommodate families, which made the visit quite frustrating.

Nice location! Greetings to Sunny Miami 👌🏻

This supposed beef fillet wasn't even a rump steak. The restaurant manager hasn't even responded to the complaint. So be careful in this restaurant!

It’s a giant beer garden restaurant (1700 covers) and you shouldn’t expect magic here. Yet you do get a cool glimpse of the experience. The food is understandably classic German and quite alright without ever being exciting. The roast pork is dry but the skin is crispy, the gravy is good. The cabbage is sour and full of caraway, quite nice. The strudel has a ton of apple and is perhaps the best part of the meal. The beer is as expected. I don’t usually go to giant restaurants expecting wonders so this one is perhaps even better than expected.

Good food, prices are okay, very fast and good service. Is recommended!

Authentic typical Bavarian food. They have a special dish that is a tasting tray for 4 people, with which you can try the most representative dishes of the area.

Best food we had. It is a little expensive but the food was worth it. We ate there twice on a 6 day stay. There is limited parking near but you can find street parking or use app called Ampido and there is a small lot a few blocks away. Highly recommend going to eat there. We had reservations for the first time and then just walked in the second.

In my opinion, this is a typical restaurant from a Bavarian brewery. Very large rooms with beer tables that can accommodate large groups of visitors. A menu with traditional dishes such as knuckle, suckling pig or roast roast is a given. Of course you can also find various vegetarian dishes here, but a weekly menu is also included. Most of the service staff runs around in lederhosen, which makes the whole thing even more authentic.

Very good service and very good food. Also, one of the most emblematic breweries in Munich.

In general it's great Local. We were here 5-7 times. Almost all the times there were great, but not the last time. The last time I was limited in the free-selection the table. The Local was totally empty and I was forbidden to choose a seat myself, forced to sit in the most uncomfortable places, I just left. And I am grateful to the stubborn waitress, because, thanks to the stubbornness and inattention of an indifferent waitress, in the end I found a more comfortable and friendly Place in the very center of Munich and had a very good time in another Place. Thank you very much Löwenbräukeller! :)

The ambience was nice, the service was friendly, but very chaotic... But we would have expected far more from the food. The duck and roast pork were completely dried out and the onion roast was practically raw...

The place is very beautiful but the waiter was rude and rude to us.

Don't spend a cent there. There are 2 zones - restaurant and self-service zone( like a bistro with beer). We were sitting in the latter, when rain started, really heavy rain, of course everyone run into order zone of bistro, which is under the roof, but then some guy came and forced everyone out into the rain for no apparent reason. Disgusting behavior.

We had dinner there with the family yesterday. It was all very nice. Great service

Traditional brewery inn with huge dimensions. The large ballroom alone can accommodate 2,000 people. Despite the size, very cozy and rustic. Great ambience, tasty beer and a classic brewery menu with knuckle, roast pork or ox spots. Attentive, quick but unobtrusive service.

Unfortunately, our visit went more badly than well. The service was unfriendly, arrogant and not attentive. The food is placed in the lower area, the knuckle tasted bitter and seems to have received too much heat from the outside because it wasn't completely cooked in the middle. The coleslaw only tasted like vinegar. The other dishes were bland in taste! It was nice that a small brass band played, but unfortunately it only seemed obtrusive due to the volume being too high. The selection of music was tourist-friendly. Conclusion: Basically a nice atmosphere, which suffers from the very poor service and the below-average food, as well as the music being way too loud.

The cube is good. Prices are a little high. But in the bill they brought us, there were some additional items. We realized this after paying but in the end they gave us back the extra 20 euros out of a total of around 100 euros. Be careful.

We were here for New Year's Eve, we were a group of 17 kids, all adults. Nice environment, nice pub with very large spaces. Poorly cooked food, some received the shank raw and others overcooked. Prices high even by Munich standards. Terrible service: they assigned only one waiter for 17 people, who was also rude. After dinner they forced us to leave a 10% tip (on a dinner costing almost 800 euros), this didn't happen anywhere else in Monaco. Finally, at 10pm they kicked us out of the place because it closed early, and no one had told us. Not recommended.

We liked it. The food is very tasty, the service is at the highest level. Waiters are pleasant, smiling. The beer is incredible. Bavarian atmosphere :)

Lovely authentic meal with good service, large and filling plates but as foreigners we weren't fans of the noise & drinks.

Okay food at fair prices with good beer. Service could be improved. Best part was the ambiance.

We spontaneously went there for dinner as a family on Boxing Day. We received a very warm welcome and our waiter, an Egyptian, was super nice, extremely attentive and funny. We felt comfortable there and would go there again and again.

The waiter who showed us to our table was rude and ignorant, which started our experience on a low base. The waiter who then served our food was better up until it was time to pay the bill, when we indicated that we would not be leaving a tip, He became very pushy and pretty much followed us to the door complaining that he should get a tip even though we had explained why we weren't leaving one. It was pretty pathetic. The food was average at best. Not as good as we had experienced in other places, and the atmosphere was bland. The whole situation in the Lowenbraukeller smacks of a place that had a good reputation and became lazy because of it. Hoffbrauhaus was a much better experience, so go there, and give Lowenbrau a miss.
