Top 10 Beer Gardens in Munich 2026

The locals' beer garden of choice. Wooden kegs tapped daily, 5,000 seats under chestnut trees, and an atmosphere that defines Munich.

Europe's largest beer garden with 8,000 seats. Families, deer enclosures, and Augustiner beer under ancient trees.

The most famous beer garden in the world. 7,000 seats around a Chinese pagoda in the heart of the English Garden.

The tourist institution that still delivers. Founded in 1589 by the Duke of Bavaria, it's loud, festive, and unapologetically Bavarian.

A beer garden in the middle of Munich's daily food market. Rotating brewery taps and the best people-watching in the city.

The brewery's own beer garden with panoramic city views from the Nockherberg hill. The Salvator Doppelbock is legendary.

A lakeside beer garden with rowing boats and swans. The most romantic beer garden in Munich.

A neighbourhood favourite in Neuhausen with 1,500 seats. Less touristy, more local, and the beer is just as good.

A forest beer garden south of the city with live jazz on summer evenings. Worth the S-Bahn ride.

An Isar riverbank beer garden where locals swim in the river, then dry off over a Helles. Peak Munich summer.
