Why Hofbräuhaus matters
The Hofbräuhaus is loud, busy and touristy, and still great fun. Long tables, brass bands, pretzels and one-litre mugs of beer give you the full Bavarian beer-hall experience. Locals tend to prefer other pubs, but everybody should see this one at least once. Go in the afternoon for a seat.
