The Paulaner beer garden which is located at the Paulaner brewery in Munich should be included in anyone's itinerary. The actual name of the beer hall and garden is the Paulaner am Nockherberg and shouldn't be confused with the actual brewery.There are six major Breweries in Munich and the Paulaner Brauhaus is at the top of the list. Each brewery in Munich operates a seperate beer hall and garden away from the main brewery.

The Paulaner beer garden at Paulaner am Nockerberg is considered to be one of the most beautiful gardens in the city. Germans are so civilized when it comes to beer that they even have a playground for the kids while their parents enjoy a nice cold beer in the heart of Munich. The Paulaner beer garden is quite large and can facilitate hundreds of fun loving beer drinkers. On nice days make sure you get there early or else it may be difficult finding a table. It is customer to share one of the large tables with other patrons if there is room. Food is served outside as well (cafeteria style) and you can expect to have some excellent bavarian dishes.

Inside the atmosphere is spectacular and a little bit overwhelming. The place is huge and can accomodate hundreds and hundreds of people. The Paulaner am Nockherberg has three floors each with it's own style and flare. Chose where you want to drink and dine and enjoy your evening.

It's important to know a little bit about the beer before you arrive. For people from outside of Germany the beer can be confusing. Here's a little chart to help you out:
