| Last reviewed: May 2026 First marked on a Munich city map in 1812, the Augustiner-Keller is the oldest of Munich's beer gardens and still arguably the most beautiful: more than a hundred chestnut trees, 5,000 self-service seats, the Edelstoff drawn straight from wooden barrels. The indoor Wirtshaus carries Bavarian classics through the winter; from spring through October, the garden is the chapter's recommendation for the visiting-family Sunday lunch. A ten-minute walk west of the Hauptbahnhof on Arnulfstraße, central enough, residential enough.
Editor's Tip
If the audience asks for one beer garden in central Munich, this is the answer, older than the Chinesischer Turm, less postcard, served from wooden Holzfass barrels which most halls have abandoned for steel. Pairs with Augustiner-Bräustuben as the central-Munich Augustiner double.
