Lenin and Hitler came here, and it is even possible that they saw each other. History is silent. But why should not two leaders really meet for a beer in the famous Hofbräuhaus restaurant? He would have found a topic for conversation. For example, they would discuss new varieties, share their impressions of the harlikov and the busty German women.
One of the most famous beer restaurants in the world was opened in 1607. At first it was a court brewery, but later it turned into a Mecca for all connoisseurs of a foamy drink. The Platz square still receives pilgrims from all over the world.
"Hofbräuhaus" - these are three halls and a beer garden. It can simultaneously accommodate 4 thousand people. Every minute 50 liters of beer are drunk in the restaurant. Imagine: you went to the toilet to wash your hands, come back - no 50 liters. What is it?
The main hall is called Schwemme. It is on the first floor. An orchestra plays for guests. More than 100 tables are reserved for the regulars. It, it is possible to tell, honorable visitors of an institution. Probably, their grandchildren will also go to the Hofbräuhaus. In the main hall there is a safe for personal mugs of regular visitors
Another hall is called Broyushtemberl - it is retro styled. As you know, one of the famous visitors to the restaurant was Mozart. It is his portrait that adorns this room. Here you can clink glasses with a genius.
On the third floor is the main hall. Three times a week, pensioners come here and organize a party "For those who are for ...". Nearby there is a museum of the restaurant, which contains exhibits telling about the history of the brewery
And in the summer it's nice to sit in the beer garden. Tables stand under the crowns of chestnuts. The garden is roomy - it can accommodate 400 people.
In the restaurant you can ask for menus in different languages, including Russian. The prices here are delicious: 3, 85 EUR per mug. For comparison: in a simple Russian eatery for the same 160-180 rubles will deliver draft beer, which is done somewhere in Kaluga. And in the "Hofbräuhaus" - exclusively German varieties.
Portion of beer with two sausages, sweet mustard and pretzel - this classic will cost about 10 EUR. Before leaving, it's useful to look into the souvenir shop to buy a couple of mugs or a jersey with a cheerful drawing for your memory.
Now about the main thing: how to get to the sufferers before a beer restaurant. Address: Platz square, 9. Take the metro to Odeonsplatz

Hofbroi - good, but ... 09 н yabrya 2014
As for me (IMHO) - if you want to sit in a large colorful pub, then visit Augustiner-Keller on Arnulf Straße. A bit aside from the hiking trails, but if you find it - you will not regret it.

Were in Hofbräuhaus several times, once, while looking for a table, found out that there are both the second and third floors. The hall on the third floor is organized for banquets, called Festive, but there you can sit and a small company if there are places. The most difficult to find a free table on the ground floor and in the beer garden.
