My wife and I were in in Munich for five days and my friend recommended this place to me. It is right across from the Haufbrauhaus and I am glad I went here. The service at Haufbrauhaus was terrible. I ordered a seasonal beer and it was fantastic and the outside seating was wonderful on a perfect day. Our server was awesome and spoke perfect english. I ordered the charcuterie board and it had a couple of hummus scoops and a beef stick and this scoop of stuff that was way too rich for me with pieces of butter in it, but the Germans love it. The pretzels that came with it were great and the cream cheese scoop went perfectly on the pretzel. One of the best meals in Munich, give it a try. read more

Was in Munich as part of a wedding party, evening of 14 June, 2025. An attractive restaurant, well-maintained, but the food was not particularly interesting or good. My soup was barely edible. There was hardly anyone in the place apart from our group, but they ushered all six of us into a booth that was uncomfortably small for us. If you were there for the beer, as some in my group were, I guess the place was acceptable. read more

Absolutely fantastic. If you want a real Bavarian meal while avoiding the tourist trap next door, this is the place for you! Comfortable, fantastic service, and delicious cuisine. We were lucky to find this place and you will be too! Just ask the server for a recommendation and enjoy something new. read more

Service was great. Had just pulled a wooden barrel of Helles beer and tapped it for the evening. Food was traditional and good

Went here after dinner for few drinks since each has a special taste. Ayinger has some really fantastic non filtered beers which are my favorite. The atmosphere is nice and cozy and bar area big. Will be back. read more

This is an amazing place to have a beer in Munich. People from all over the world in one bar, sharing tables and talking about life. This is a place I think Anothny Bourdain would have visited (possibly did). read more

Stopped in for an afternoon libation and to watch them tap a keg. Pretty cool! Great selection of beer and the keg is a special blend offered daily for a limited time. Service was great and the ambiance inside was cool. I did walk through the dining room on the way to the bathroom and that also looked like a cool space. There is outdoor seating when the weather permits. read more

Just came here with my husband for lunch. This place is near my hotel. There are many tables, bar with christmas decorations. They have special dishes for Christmas which is duck and goose legs come with celery salad, red cabbages and glazed chestnuts. The duck skin is very crispy. The glazed chestnuts really amazed me. Service is fast. Our server is extremely nice and friendly. We followed his recommendation for food and drinks. Definitely will come back read more

Schnitzel was perfect! Potatoes were perfect. Beer was tasty. Service was excellent. I'm coming back.

I was delighted to find that this location is stone's throw across the plaza from Hofbrauhaus. I've long been a big fan of Ayinger beer, and now I got to experience it direct. I enjoyed the Bavarian Pumpkin and Vegetable Curry, paired with the Ayinger Urweisse (dark wheat beer). We sat at a table with umbrella in the plaza, despite some intermittent rain. This is where most patrons were seated, making for a lively atmosphere. Quality would be one word to sum up the experience. The construction, decor, food and beer are top-notch. read more

My flight from Munich was cancelled which gave me a wonderful opportunity to explore the city for 24 hours. I found this amazing place through Yelp and had an amazing schnitzel lunch, a beer and a tasty pancake dessert dish. Great atmosphere, service and food.

A bartender actually recommended this place to us and we made it our last dinner of our trip. Yes, it's right across from brauhaus but don't let the proximity to a high tourist spot fool you- food was delicious and classic Munich food. Pictures of dessert below which I recommend you save room for. Schnitzel was great. read more

Loved it! Perhaps it was the good schnitzel I had as a recovery from the lady place but generally, this was agreqt spot. The hostess was so sweet greeting me and helhelping me find a seat at the bar. A few folks had just paid their bill so rather than me trolling around, she had me wait at the front and she did the trolling for me. I had some schnitzel which was superb . It came with roasted potatoes which were possibly the BEST potatoes I've ever had. I'm sure it was all about the spices and not the glistening bitter they were roasted in. The bartender was a bit hard to crack but I sensed he had a long night serving overserved morons. He was really delightful when you get to know him. And, he's a fast and accurate tender so I'd prefer that. If you can find a spot, I recommend this place. But, it's busy all the time so come early. read more

If you are in the mood for authentic German food, this is the place. Wide selection of beers and wines plus their own brews, including some seasonal blends. The Pils was excellent. For dinner we had the German sampler for 2. Wiener Schnitzel, Roasted Chicken, Spätzle, potato dumplings, seasoned burger, and so on. This plate had a little of everything and the portions were outstanding. The preparation was on point and simply delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

The food was nice. The service good. The only thing I would not recommend is the gingerbread ice cream parfait.

Great experience with traditional Bavarian dishes. Had some fish and a great version of sauerbraten. Attached to our hotel, but not just another hotel restaurant. read more

I loved everything we had here! Traditional Bavarian food. The braised calf cheek is extremely soft! Almost melts in your mouth. The calf head was tasty too, especially when combined with the tartar sauce. The shredded pancake is a must try for desserts. We loved every bite of the dinner. Service was good from a German standard. Tables are well spread out. Not too loud nor packed than peer restaurants. Very easy to carry a conversation here. read more

We had a lovely meal at Ayinger am Platzl. Attached to our wonderful hotel, The Platzl, we found the both the service and patio atomsphere charming. Our server was sweet and accommodating. My husband had the schweinbraten and I had the zwiebelrostbraten. Both were exceptionally tender and juicy. We enjoyed it very much. We would most definitely eat here again. read more

Service is really slow and the order was incorrect. Atmosphere is non-descript could-be-anywhere modern gastro (get over yourself) pub. Ayinger lager is extra-special ordinary. Food is tasty, though. read more

Great food and service. I have had Schnizel all over Germany and Austria and this is one of the best.

Tourist trap with so so service and rude and arrogant waiters. Slow slow slow. Never got a certain order after asking twice.

Way less chaotic than the next door Haufbrau hous. I had crispy duck. It's delicious. read more

I went here with a tour group and received a pre-set meal including a soup, entree and dessert. I got the onion soup, which did not look appetizing at all. Every spoonful was half soup half oil. It was incredibly salty and oily which left a weird feeling on your lips. While the taste was good, it was a little hard to enjoy simply due to the look and feel. The pork was drenched in gravy which made it taste pretty good. However, the texture of the potato dumpling was pretty terrible and I couldn't even eat half of it. Finally for dessert was an apple pastry which a vanilla sauce which was easily the highlight of the dinner. However, my nut free friend was given a whole apple with a knife as the dessert, which was hysterically terrible for them to serve in my opinion. Overall, the food was okay, not great, but good. As far as the restaurant itself, the place was kept very clean and it was decorated in a traditional German style. The staff was a little curt, but I am willing to give them to benefit of the doubt that it was just because we were such a large group, and that this is not how they usually are. read more

Superb dinner here tonight, our last night in Munich. We started by sharing the pretzel with spreads and it was a great intro to the evening. Every night they tap a keg and sell beer from it, so good I had to my wife had pike fish, which was delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed, the slow roasted pork dinner. And to top it off, our server was superb, she was very busy, but took wonderful care of us and answered all our questions we had reservations and we put in the back room which was a little less busy than the front. read more

Only had beers here, but I think my surprise top beer of the trip. Just really refreshing and crisp, and the atmosphere of the place was sort of a quiet, small beer hall. Staff made room for us, and brought us our beer right away. We ended up staying for an hour and would for sure go back. If you're looking for a smaller experience than HB, come here. read more

This is my favorite Bavarian Brewery, nice to have an outpost near the Hofbrau House so you can do the tourist thing and then have some amazing beers and food. The service is friendly, the ambience inside is classic and the outside seating is fun. Their seasonal beers and unfiltered beers are always great, the food at this location is pricey, but well worth it. read more

Beer-5 stars, food-3 stars. The beer was good, they had a summer one that was refreshing. The food looked good but it wasn't the best. We shared a sampler platter. It came with two cheese spreads which were tasty, a crackling fat one that was pure fat and not really edible, steak tartare, salami and meat as well as bread and radishes. It was interesting. read more

For anyone visiting from the States, this is the place to go! Forget about the "popular" brewhaus across the way with long waits, bad food, and horrible service - Wirtshaus Ayingers is AMAZING! We had a group of 5 celebrating a birthday, and they treated us like kings. They even brought out a limited release schnapps and did shots with us! Everyone's food was to die for (get the schnitzel, you won't regret it), and the desserts were perfect. read more

Sure, the place across the road has a reputation, but it was packed, so we decided to come to some place a little quieter, and more laid back, and it turned out to be this place. I guess they make a roaring business that way but hey, it suited us just fine. Sure enough, the prices were pretty good, and you certainly get to try some of those famous Bavarian beers (especially the ones in the big glasses). The food was also pretty good, and certainly not the huge portions that you apparently get elsewhere. Yeah, I liked this place - chilled, laid back, and reasonably quiet. read more

Located across the brick paver street from the historic Hofbräuhaus München, this upscale German pub features an in-house produced lager that's aged two weeks in oak kegs. Light and flavorful it was the perfect compliment to my Rinderfilet, which was a perfectly prepared filet covered with mushrooms and a side of delicious roasted potatoes. The portions were healthy and the atmosphere was festive. All around good choice! read more

Great alternative to the touristy Höfbrauhaus. Party of two was quickly and courteously seated, no waiting. The service was quick, almost choreographed, and pleasant.

I came here after a brief visit to the HBH and I am glad I spent most of my evening here instead of there! The older gentleman running the bar was quirky and friendly. He also spoke great English and offered me a sample of some incredible schnapps when I inquired about this giant, mysterious bottle that he was pouring from on occasion. The beer was incredible and frothy, so full of flavor. Pure and clean. They have six packs of the lager or wheat to go for very nice prices. 12 oz bottles. The space is great and inviting. It is one of the more personal and relaxing spots in Munich that I visited. read more

Providing an alternative chill atmosphere to the Hofbräuhaus spectacle across the street, Wirsthause Ayingers is where you go once you check Hofbräuhaus off your Munich bucket list. Being so close to an iconic landmark can be both a blessing and a curse - I'd like to think for Wirsthause Ayingers it's mostly a blessing. Yes, most of the foot traffic will be in Hofbräuhaus but even a small percentage of people wanting to avoid the crowds would easily fill up this place. My fiancée and I, after the visit to Hofbräuhaus, decided to wander across the street to deflate, grabbing some reasonably-sized beers here (not a complaint as all of the beer in German is magnificent). They have a great tap selections of German lagers, Hefeweiszens, and Dunkel beers that have a richer flavor profile to the lagers you're going to be drinking most of the time. Very laid back and more intimate, Wirtshaus Ayingersis a nice respite from the raucous Oktoberfest crowds. We didn't get a chance to try the food, but I would drink next door for a bit then come here for a beer and food. read more
