“A beer garden named after deer? But where are they?”, you might ask. Welcome to Biergarten Hirschau, nestled in the northern part of Munich’s English Garden. While deer may no longer roam here, their legacy lives on in the name and the rustic charm of this beloved beer garden. The name Hirschau itself harks back to a time when wild deer and roe deer roamed freely in these very woods. Imagine, in 1808, the name “Hirschau” first appeared on city maps, a testament to the area’s untamed beauty.
Biergarten Hirschau is not just a place to enjoy a frosty Löwenbräu beer, though. It’s a favorite haunt for locals and tourists alike, drawn to its lively atmosphere and idyllic location. Families flock here, children captivated by the large pirate ship playground while parents relax under the shade of ancient chestnut trees. And let’s not forget the food! Indulge in traditional Bavarian delicacies – from giant pretzels and Obazda cheese to roasted chicken and freshly grilled Steckerlfisch. Thursday evenings come alive with the sounds of Swing and Jazz, while weekends burst with diverse musical performances.
The Hirschau has seen its fair share of history. In 1840, a humble tavern named “Zum Hasenstall” opened its doors, serving workers from the nearby ironworks. Over time, it blossomed into the beloved beer garden we know today. Today, Biergarten Hirschau embodies the spirit of Munich – a blend of history, tradition, and good cheer. So, raise your glass and soak it all in!
