Hofbrauhaus is a Must See/Do in Munich!Sure its a tourist trap, but its one of those touristy places that is worth getting caught up in. Munich's oldest beer hall is one of the best experiences in Munich, tradition and history along with great beer, oompah band and decent bavarian food.
The beer hall is is enormous and can seem intimidating at first. The atmosphere is loud, joyous, chaotic, but not always friendly. The been hall is very open with the standard large tables and bench seating. The place does get very busy so find a bench and just sit on it! . There are 3 floors so you can normally find somewhere to sit. You just need to find a spot and claim it! No tables to yourself. Long communal tables basically force you to sit with people you don’t know. But, everyone's fine with that, since people come here to drink and socialize to their heart's content. . Finding a seat is hard work but you can always squeeze in somewhere
It took about 15 minutes to find a spot and another 5-6 for a server to come by. Don’t go here expecting Haute cuisine and attentive service. It is unlikely to be awarded Michelin Stars anytime soon.
Apparently the locals have their own beer bugs which they lock at the Beer Mug Lockers which was a bit difficult for me to understand, but I don't know the whole story either.

We tried the pretzels, the Hofbräu München Dunkel (dark lager) and radler (half beer half lemonade). All were amazing
