Lowenbrau Tours and Activities

Lowenbrau showing a bar and drinks or beverages


Savour the iconic brew of Munich in this renowned beer house, where locals and visitors alike gather in drinking halls and terraces to mingle, laugh or celebrate Oktoberfest.

Opened to the public in 1883, The Löwenbräukeller is globally renowned for the authentic Bavarian beer brewed in its halls. Opened to the public in 1883, this brewery has become a popular attraction for its beer garden and restaurant.

Löwenbräu is most famed for its close connection with Munich’s Oktoberfest. This beer festival has been supplied by Löwenbräu’s brewery every year since 1810. It even produces a special Oktoberfest brew (Oktoberfestbier), which is available for tasting. At the festival, Löwenbräu sponsors two large tents, and the Löwenbräu name continues to be an integral component of Munich’s proud beer culture.

Explore the brewery to find a number of different beer-drinking spaces. Its most popular feature is an expansive beer garden, which can seat up to a thousand patrons at once. During the summer, locals find a spot here dressed in traditional Lederhosen and Dirndl and enjoy cool beer under the trees. An in-house restaurant serves Bavarian cuisine year round, which combine well with the authentic brews sold at the bar. Climb to the roof terrace to drink with a picturesque view of the beer garden.

The Löwenbräu beer recipe remains in accordance with the Reinheitsgebot, a German beer purity law that was instated in 1516. This ruling was designed to prohibit the use of cheap and mostly unhealthy ingredients - such as mushrooms and rushes – from beer manufacture. Munich brewers proudly uphold this law, which is said to be the oldest food safety laws in the world.

The Löwenbräu is open every day of the week from morning until late. Get there on foot from downtown, a trip that takes 10 minutes. When the night is done or the next bar is calling, responsible drinkers can find streetcars stopping often outside for an easy trip home or beyond.
