Paulaner am Nockherberg in München

Expensive but worth it Great beer and roast pork

Everything was perfect! Food, service, ambience 👍👍

The food is super delicious!!!! Unfortunately the service is inattentive and seems very arrogant.

Recommended. Was very crowded. Food and service still good to very good.

Großartige Atmosphäre, gutes und gepflegtes Essen ( 2 Scheiben Schweinebraten, 2 Klöße, gute Soße separat in einer kleinen Sauciere und den Krautsalat in einem Töpfchen). Leider gibt es ab 17 Uhr das helle Bier nur als Maß 🤔 Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert

Unfortunately 0 stars are not possible. After the already half-filled stone jug was half drunk, we discovered bird shit stuck to the bottom of the jug. When we complained it was said that it belongs to the Steinkrug. This is the ultimate insolence, unhygienic and shameless. Only after discussion was a small sip added and asked whether that was really necessary now. Never again

Holiday in Bavaria. Setting up the maypole. Visit the beer garden. Nice weather has been forecast for days. All of this was probably unforeseeable for the current management of the Nockerberg Biergarten. 7:00 p.m. Pretzels out, Brozeitbrettl out, Obatzter out. Something like that shouldn't happen in a Munich beer garden and especially on the Nockerberg; especially not with ambitious prices of well over €10 for the measure. The offers that seem to have run out are beer garden basics, dear operators! Will you run out of beer next? I've been a regular for more than 35 years, but I've never experienced such flat management performance. At least the service is motivated, but that hardly puts this failure into perspective. Please do justice to the prices again and get significantly better!

Rarely have such unfriendly service been served in both beer gardens. Be it from the waiters or when serving food. Obatzdn in the beer garden is not recommended.

What an impressive location! The food was very tasty, from roast pork to Kaiserschmarrn. The freshly tapped beer was the best I've ever drunk and there were quite a few for comparison ;) The service was super nice and the rooms were simply WOW. This is how I imagine tradition. 10/10

Very good food and bier! The service was also really nice!

A harmonious experience. A very special brewery.

Great service. The waiter Dave anticipated our every wish. Food was very tasty. All in all it was a very pleasant evening.

Very good food for the whole family and very friendly service.

Wir hatten einen Tagesausflug in München gemacht und sind dann Abends zum Essen noch im Paulaner Nockherberg eingekehrt, da wir durch Politikerderblecken schon so viel davon gehört hatten. Das Restaurant ist sehr edel eingerichtet und die Preise absolut gesalzen (2 Hauptspeisen 2 normale Getränke 80 €, Weißbier 6,20 €), dazu viel Münchner Schickeria Publikum dort. Die Bedienung war freundlich, aber hat uns und unseren Nachbartisch erst einmal längere Zeit vergessen. Das Essen wurde sofort nach der Bestellung 5 Minuten später gebracht. Ist also alles schon vorgekocht und warm gehalten. Die Portion überschaubar, bin nicht wirklich satt geworden leider. Für das Geld erwartet man da einfach mehr.... Geschmacklich lecker war es aber definitiv und das Fleisch hauchzart. FAZIT: Soweit okay, aber auch leider nicht das erwartete Highlight. Eher Durchschnitt :/

We had taken a day trip to Munich and then stopped at the Paulaner Nockherberg for dinner in the evening, as we had heard so much about it from politicians. The restaurant is very elegantly furnished and the prices are absolutely ridiculous (2 main courses, 2 normal drinks 80 €, wheat beer 6.20 €), plus there is a lot of Munich chic crowd there. The service was friendly, but forgot about us and our neighboring table for a long time. The food was brought immediately after ordering 5 minutes later. So everything is already pre-cooked and kept warm. The portion was manageable, unfortunately I didn't really get full. You just expect more for the money... But the taste was definitely delicious and the meat was extremely tender. CONCLUSION: Okay so far, but unfortunately not the expected highlight. Rather average :/

If you want to take the leftover food with you, you have to pay an extra 5 euros for a deposit plate.. crazy. Unfriendly service, Expect a tip too. And angry too. Outrageous

Unfortunately, my Kaiserschmarrn wasn't in the pan long enough and was more of a pancake to cut into pieces. The waiter was there quickly at the beginning, later they were difficult to find - but always friendly. I would have expected more given the prices.

After a while we went there again for dinner with the family at Easter. We've always enjoyed coming here for special occasions, but this was probably our last visit. The quality of the food and drinks was consistently very good and the portions for meat eaters were decent. But for the vegetarians among us it was depressing. There was no longer a vegetarian salad option, not even when asked. And the pumpkin dish we ordered instead was tasty, but not nearly enough to fill us up. The quantity was more like an appetizer. At a price of 23 euros, that's annoying. That's why we will hold our family reunions somewhere else in the future.

Bewertung für das Restaurant: nette Begrüßung, freundliche Bedienung. Essen - gemischtes Fazit : wirklich lecker die Rote Beete Gnocchi , top 👍. Der Schweinebraten der Begleitung dagegen eher mau - Soße sehr dünn, Fleisch sehr, sehr fettig. Knödel ( einmal Semmelknödel,einmal Kartoffelknödel) sehr lecker, aber winzig . Ambiente - toll , alles super sauber und top gepflegt

It was a real highlight recently at the Paulaner am Nockherberg! The beer fresh from the tap is a delight, and the pork knuckle was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The beer garden under the chestnut trees is a dream, especially in summer. Service was friendly and quick. Prices are absolutely fine for Munich. I'd love to come back!

Nice beer garden. Food prices 30.. 40% above Munich standards but really modest quality (Münchner Schnitzel 26Eur). In the served area, 20 minutes later, everyone had their food at a small table. ..despite few guests.

A great atmosphere. The beer garden is fantastic.

Really very beautiful! Best food! Super organized and you can tell the professionalism of this location! Keep it up

I celebrated my 50th birthday in one of the private rooms (Kaminzimmer). During the planning stages I was treated very professionally by the manager who answered all my questions and gave me very good advice on how to plan the event. The tables were nicely set and the food was great. The staff was very friendly and efficient. I got the feeling that they were happy to have us as guests, and several friends also told me the same. The end result was even better than I had expected. In the end it was a really beautiful evening. Hopefully I will be around for my 60th so that I can return :)

We were here during the day on Saturday for the strong beer festival. The band hardly played at all and the atmosphere really wasn't good. Most people preferred to go out to the beer garden. A Spezi 0.5L for 7.20 EUR is really an absolute disgrace. The food and service was ok.

I recently had the pleasure of eating at Paulaner am Nockerberg and it was simply fantastic! I was particularly impressed by the home-brewed beer, which tastes fresh and full-bodied – a real highlight! There was also a medium steak that was perfectly cooked - beautifully seared on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was cozy and inviting. I will definitely come back and can only warmly recommend the Paulaner am Nockerberg!

Amazing experience! Had the best food and drinks! Highly recommend

Mood flops, as if you were in an English pub or Löwenbräu

Nice atmosphere but the service is terrible, I would almost call it fraud. The beer mugs are only 2/3 full, but you can't tell from the fresh measure because they are stone mugs. If you complain you will just be ignored. Based on the comments, this doesn't seem to be an isolated case. Our bank neighbors also complained in vain. There are prices for this like at the Oktoberfest. Puke!!

We wanted to go to the beer garden in the nice weather. At the entrance we were told that there were only seats inside. With a view of the beer garden, we could have easily sat down at a few tables. We were seated at a table inside with the words - you can look at the cauldrons 🫤. Otherwise everything was fine, only the lady at the entrance ruined our visit with her manner. Too bad

Typical beer garden for Munich, the beer is €14.50 and entry is €18.50 (€4). Location and ambience very good. We didn't eat anything.

Had a great time, great music, great beer. Will for sure go again.

Böfflamott cooked for hours? So flaxy - inedible

Very good food, nice and very good service!

For the strong beer festival: Positive: Food very good and friendly service, delicious strong beer Negative: I'm relatively sure that it comes from above as a requirement like at the Oktoberfest, but I still find it a mess to be honest. I'm willing to pay the prices, but I think it's a shame that the innkeepers seem to have no pride and that every cent of profit is placed above the visitor experience. As a student, the prices are doubly annoying. The band is actually great at the Oktoberfest, but the music selection is an absolute disaster in my opinion. It actually has nothing to do with a folk festival or Oktoberfest and all the classics that everyone can actually play aren't played, instead some songs from Argentina.

If you're allergic, it's not recommended. There's no food for people with nut allergies, which is a shame. We wanted to have a nice meal, but after ordering drinks, we were told that it's not possible to eat there if you have a severe allergy. It's very poor considering the menu states beforehand that they offer food for people with allergies.

This is a really fancy restaurant. We had a lot of fun here,food is good, restrooms are good. I am a very picky person but the sausages were fantastic.

The bar staff has never been the best at a strong beer festival, but this year it's a disgrace! The waitress won't refill your beer for fear of not getting a new contract, and if you complain, you'll just get a yell at the bar staff. This doesn't happen at the (regular) Oktoberfest – thankfully, Keferloher is "banned" there and it's regulated by the KVR (Confederation of Beer Authorities). €14.50 for a better beer is simply disgraceful. Or as Monaco (adapting from Böttner-Salm) said: it's complete crap!

I don't know what was going on with the waitresses at the strong beer festival this year, but on two different evenings they started arguing about trivial things, including why you don't already have the money ready but have to get your wallet out first. And they always threaten to stop coming to the table. Like in kindergarten. This has never happened in all these years and now twice in a row. I hope this doesn't become a trend.

Had a Paulaner beer tasting in the cellar. Very nice place. Had an explanation from the brewer himself. Great food

Great experience! Great music, great beer, good staff and great aura! Lovely!

Wir waren gestern zum Starkbierfest dort. Ein Bierpreis von 14,50€ ist ja mittlerweile üblich und dementsprechend ok für uns. Dass die undurchsichtigen Steinkrüge aber generell maximal nur zu drei Viertel gefüllt waren, ist eine Frechheit.

The strong beer festival in the Paulaner with light and shadow. Positive: atmosphere and people were A1, the food was good almost across the board. Neutral: the Kirchdorfer with some. very good performance, but partly. also inappropriate song selection (e.g. Taylor Swift, Coldplay) and questionable performance (especially guest singers). Negative: the hall has zero charm - it could be in Berlin or at the Ballermann and the pouring is always really bad.

Once a year ok, but not comfortable. Acoustics bad.

Typical Bavarian atmosphere and food. All very good

You can do it, but you don't have to. I generally find it very pleasant there. The prices are now very juicy even for Munich

Don’t miss the Starkbier at Starkbierfest — just remember, it’s stronger than it looks!😅

You get screwed over the liter of beer. There is never a full measure in the jug but always significantly less

Awesome place. Unfortunately, two of our group had a minor altercation at the entrance and were immediately kicked out. Absolutely disgusting! Otherwise, the evening was fine—though the strong beer didn't taste good at all. I generally prefer Bitburger.

In any case, a very good atmosphere, including the service, and the Kirchdorfer live ON tour were outstanding. First of all, I'd recommend the culture section and the accompanying miracle of the Paulaner winery at Nockherberg. The service was very friendly and passionate. The Salvator is definitely a recommendation, and the decor is a mix of boyar and modern. The entrance area is very well organized. Tables are wiped down. There are many traditional costumes on display, but it's not a must. :-)

My review refers to the strong beer festival at Nockherberg. I would like to point out that there is a lot of cheating going on, at €14.50 the mugs were actually only 3/4 full.... Out of around 22 strong beers, only one was completely full. We had pointed this out to "BIERgit", but her serving partner (old man with thinning hair) brought the beer. The way he behaved was simply impossible, extremely rude, we should go to the tavern ourselves and get a refill. There are already an extremely large number of complaint emails, yes and why isn't anything happening? Absolutely unacceptable for a festival with such tradition! Let's stick with our example and assume 20 (3/4) strong beers. Shortage for 20 measurements: 20 × 0.25 L = 5 L Profit for the organizer for “air beer”: 5 × €14.50 = €72.50 With 20 liters, the organizer makes an additional profit of €72.50 without ever having served the beer. Extrapolated from thousands of visitors, that amounts to a decent amount!

I was here for the Starkbierfest. I actually thought it was quite nice, but unfortunately, I was pretty ripped off several times when it came to beer. Here you can see the liter of beer (€14.50) without having finished it, and that included several beers, not just this one. For that price, the liter really shouldn't have been just 2/3 full.

In einer großen Gruppe mit Reservierung zum Starkbierfest da gewesen. Der Saal war schön eingerichtet bzw. dekoriert. Band war gut und verbreitete Stimmung. Speisekarte übersichtlich, aber ausreichend: da findet jeder was. Preise üblich. Servicekräfte waren aufmerksam und flott. Essen war lecker. Toll ist natürlich der große Biergarten: der lädt bei schönem Wetter zum Verweilen ein. Wir freuen uns schon auf den nächsten Besuch.

Modern, beautifully composed, system-style restaurant cuisine! Excellent dishes at upscale prices. The price/performance ratio is a bit high for the amount of ingredients (e.g., the amount of meat in the beef bourguignon was 2-3 pieces; I would have been fine with 4-5). The service was very friendly and attentive.

The Starkbierfest at Nockherberg is almost like a mini-Wiesn. A great band, great service, and simply a fantastic experience every year.

Very good event location and restaurant. Security is always super friendly and relaxed. Fredi is the best!!

Beer garden with admission - even if it's called a "festival", it's not worth it. The high prices definitely cover the additional costs. Otherwise, the ambiance, food and service are great.

Food was semi-honestly 18 euros for Kasspatzn, which had no sans, no thanks. So I can't support that, it's destroying our society. because we are Bavaria, not Schleswig Holstein. honestly a be Bavarian and not touristy

Service extremely unfriendly!!! The waitress came straight away and wanted you to make a decision within 5 seconds, you were grumbled at, and when you had questions you only heard grumbling.

We were at the strong beer festival today (March 16, 2025 from 4:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.). First the positive: The service was great, the prices were fair and the atmosphere was great. The two snack platters in advance were also very tasty. Overall we had a nice evening... But: The music and songs were well known but, in our opinion, absolutely unsuitable for a German folk festival. It felt like 40% Spanish songs, 50% English songs and 10% German songs. Has the band ever heard of Münchener Freiheit, Wolfgang Petry, NDW or Udo Jürgens? Sorry but NOTHING came of it. I/we didn't understand. And that at a German folk festival...

The Paulaner am Nockherberg is a real highlight in Munich! Beautifully located, the brewery combines traditional Bavarian pub culture with a modern, high-quality ambience. You immediately feel at home here – whether in the stylish interior or in the cozy beer garden. The Bavarian delicacies are consistently delicious and go perfectly with the freshly tapped Paulaner beer. The strong beer festival is particularly recommended - a great fun event with the best atmosphere, live music and of course the legendary Salvator strong beer. Important: A table reservation is strongly recommended at the strong beer festival, because, like at the Oktoberfest, seats are quickly snapped up. A must for everyone who wants to experience Bavarian tradition with first-class beer and a good atmosphere!

Service extremely irritable and unfriendly

I ate there on site. Good Bavarian cuisine.

Hospitality incredibly bad and unfriendly

very. Perfect evening for a strong beer

Condition was unfriendly from the first contact.

Totally unfriendly service (horror) Security very friendly

hervorragende Rede von Maxi Schafroth , hab noch nie so viele beleidigde ... Politikergesichter gesehen. absolute Spitzenrede, Volltreffer ..

Regularly at the Nockerberg since I studied in Munich from 1989 to 1993. Stable good 👍

A really beautiful brewery with very nice service and very good food.

Beautiful inn with typical Bavarian food, friendly and attentive service. It was a successful and cozy evening!

Exquisite food. The German culinary tradition is fully respected. The kaisersmarn was divine. The girls who work at the service are splendid. Professional, friendly and very helpful, very far from the usual German rigidity that is often gratuitous and obtuse! I don't like eating in huge places but this is it! It is necessary to underline that wood and comfort dominate. Considering that you are in Monaco the price is also very fair!! I will return often. Not to be missed

Wir waren nach längerer Zeit mal wieder vor Ort und waren sehr enttäuscht von der Qualität des Essens. Die Pfannkuchensuppe schmeckte wie eine billige Packerl-Suppe. Die Pfannkuchen selbst waren eher Eierstich und das Grießnockerl musste man fast mit der Lupe suchen, dafür schmeckte es. Das Backhendl wäre sehr gut gewesen, wäre frisches Fett in der Fritteuse benutzt worden. Auch die Kartoffelsuppe hatte Luft nach oben... Schade, dass die Qualität in diesem schönen Ambiente so nachgelassen hat und für Sonderwünsche auch kein Platz war. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich, dafür 5 Sterne, der Rest leider mangelhaft.

What a nice afternoon. Visiting Munich, snow outside, getting up to the Paulaner Brewery on the Nockherberg, being introduced to a wonderful table right next to the big, round brewing tanks and then having a whole 2 hours long dinner along with two big glasses of the famous Salvator beer that both couldn't have been better. one more thing I need to address is the service there! Thanks to Mr. Matthias and his hip helpfulness and easygoingness everything was just perfect! thanks for showing me also on how to get outside to see the Festsaal! big, big thanks! it's indeed been an unforgettable, great visit!

Nockherberg Munich...you don't have to tell anything. Munich institution 👍

✨Galactic review for the Paulaner am Nockherberg in Munich✨ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (If I could, I would give infinite stars!) Anyone looking for a top-class culinary experience in Munich should definitely not miss the Paulaner am Nockherberg! My visit there was simply *galactic* – an experience that pampered all the senses. The food: I chose the Wienerschnitzel – crispy, golden brown and so tender that it almost melted in your mouth. It was simply perfectly prepared, accompanied by wonderfully crispy fried potatoes, which rounded off the taste experience. My friend ordered the chicken – very flavorful. He loved it. And then came the Kaiserschmarrn. - Just wild and a dream. A huge, fluffy masterpiece with delicate powdered sugar and applesauce that was just to die for. Every bite was pure happiness. This was exactly the Kaiserschmarrn that everyone was always raving about. The service – an ode to our waiter Matthias: But what made this visit truly unforgettable was Matthias, probably the best waiter we've had in a long time in Munich! 🤩 His service was outstanding: attentive, warm, charming and with a sense of humor that immediately made us feel like we were the highlight of the evening. Despite the lively atmosphere, he never lost track of things and fulfilled our every wish. If I had my own restaurant, Matthias would be my manager for life. A true professional who shows passion for his job! Conclusion: The Paulaner at Nockherberg not only offers heavenly food, but also service that sets standards. We had a wonderful evening and will definitely come back - not least because of Matthias, the heart of this wonderful house. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 10/10 – Highly recommended!

Paulaner am Nockherberg – one of Munich’s large, traditional breweries. But if you only think of traditional Bavarian cosiness in a rustic atmosphere, you are wrong. Because this inn manages the feat of combining tradition and modernity in a way that is both stylish and inviting. As soon as you enter, you'll notice the modern interior design, which fits harmoniously into the traditional setting - as if Bavarian pub culture had been given a chic but authentic makeover. And it is precisely this feeling for the right amount of renewal that runs through the entire concept. The spacious underground car park is also very pleasant. But even before the architecture can develop its effect, you experience the first real highlight: the reception. Showing up at a crowded restaurant without a reservation? Usually a recipe for disappointing rejections. Not here. The restaurant manager Kathi - charming, professional and seemingly endowed with magical powers - made the impossible possible and found a place for us despite the hustle and bustle. With a smile that shows that people here know how to host. The impression continues with the service - attentive, quick and with just the right amount of Bavarian charm. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you feel like a regular - even if it is your first visit. And then the food: Of course there are the classics – a roast pork that tastes like something out of a Bavarian picture book. But gourmets with a desire for modern, seasonal interpretations will also get their money's worth. Deer osso buco? Deer shovels? Yes, please! The cuisine also attaches great importance to regionality and organic quality, which is reflected in the prices - upscale but absolutely fair. Not a tourist rip-off, but honest quality. Of course there is also the famous Paulaner beer in all its facets. Whether with a hearty classic or a finely balanced game dish - everyone will find their perfect glass here - but it definitely won't stop at just one. If you like Bavarian tradition in a contemporary atmosphere, you should definitely visit the Paulaner am Nockherberg. There is not only good food and excellent beer here, but also a hospitality that you won't quickly forget.

Clear recommendation for the Paulaner business at Nockherberg! My personal highlights were the beaming welcome from the restaurant manager Kathi, courteous service in a modern and cozy atmosphere and the really excellent food - the chefs know their craft and prepare classics (such as roast pork and Kaiserschmarrn) as well as well-thought-out, exciting dishes (such as osso buco made from Bavarian deer). I am already looking forward to future visits and events in this beautiful location.

A beautiful brewery. A little more elegant, a little quieter than many others. Super good service, of course excellent beer and very good food. The location is great and it's easy to reach from the center. You should just go there and you'll definitely come back. We had a lovely evening, thanks to the entire team

A safe choice for true Bavarian hospitality! Anyone who appreciates traditional cuisine, warm hospitality and perfectly organized gastronomy has come to the right place. We were guests on business and were thrilled from start to finish: reservations, service and food – everything was great! A special thank you goes to our host Dave, who enriched our meeting with his humor and attentive service and left a lasting impression. Conclusion: Bavarian hospitality as it should be – we would love to come back! A warm blessing from God!

Great food Great ambience A waiter I think his name was Matthias made the evening unforgettable for us. Great charisma. Greetings Lewis and Ursula

TOP restaurant!!! Everything perfect!!! Compliments!!!

Super nice atmosphere. Always happy to be there again. I'm already looking forward to the strong beer festival

It’s quite expensive place, but the food is high quality and the beer is fantastic.

Were there for a special event and that's what the review refers to

Typical Munich brewery! The location is perfect! In summer there is an excellent beer garden! But the brewery is also beautifully decorated inside and you feel very comfortable. The service is super friendly and the food tasted very good!

Great service, good food, very pleasant stay.

Delicious food and very pleasant atmosphere. Super attentive and courteous service. This is becoming increasingly rare these days. Thank you Flo for the personal and super nice touch!

Sehr leckeres Essen, guter Service. Tolle Ambiente

Modern traditional restaurant with excellent food. We regularly go to the Paulaner Restaurant at Nockherberg when we want to enjoy a nice lunch with our family or extended family. The map is Bavarian-based and garnished with interesting excursions and variants. Quality is very good across the board, and the portions are often more than generous. The Munich Schnitzel is a poem. The ambience is very well maintained, with the large windows and high rooms creating an almost airy atmosphere with good acoustics. Service is attentive and friendly, but sometimes it takes a while when it's full. Price levels are rather high and have risen again within a short period of time. The all-round beer at 6.20 is, in my opinion, too high.

Nice atmosphere, but no food either. Too touristy.

Good place, easy yo book, good good, thr service ok.

The restaurant impresses with a fantastic ambience and super-friendly service. Unfortunately the food was disappointing. Both the main course, duck with dumplings and red cabbage, and the dessert, Kaiserschmarren, were too salty. I've never experienced anything like this at this level. The service exchanged the food upon request and had it replaced, then it was fine. What should be highlighted positively is that the dishes were otherwise well prepared and attractively presented. Too bad!

Love the modern, bavarian style and the brewery style. Slightly pricy but just love it!

Top Service Essen ausgezeichnet Es war schon laut aber noch okay

Tolles Essen bei super Atmosphäre! Sehr empfehlenswert!

Das Entrecôte war sehr gut. Leider kam das Essen viel zu schnell

Wir hatten uns auf die Schnitzel gefreut. Leider haben nicht mehr die frühere Qualität gehabt… Die Kartoffeln schwammen im Fett. Und eines war doch ziemlich blass. Früher das beste Wiener Schnitzel in München, aber leider jetzt nicht mehr ☹️

We were here on a Friday, the reason was a family celebration. First we went curling followed by dinner at Paulaner. I ordered the roast pork and was not disappointed. It was a really good portion, the meat was very tender, the dumplings were also very well balanced. All in all, highly recommended!

Essen war hervorragend und das Ambiente wie immer sehr schön
