Do NOT sit at the Stammtisch (the one with the sign above it and the nice table cloth) – this is for the regulars and it is their special table. You will stick out like a tourist if you do sit there. (It probably won’t matter because mainly tourists go here anyway).

The food is mediocre at best. I suggest going to a beer garden rather than a beer hall like this one. One trip is plenty. The music is fun- but you can get that in a beer garden as well and mingle with locals. These are sprouting up all around the US now (Cincinnati ‘the sister city of Munich’ / N. Kentucky + Vegas). This is ‘the original’ though.

If you do go however, make sure you stop at Schuhbeck’s ice cream right across the “Platz’l” – they have tons of unique flavors (rose petal, chocolate chili, litchi etc).
