| Last reviewed: May 2026 Carl Theodor laid out the Hirschgarten as a royal hunting ground in 1780 and the beer garden followed in 1791. 8,000 chestnut-shaded seats, real wild deer in the enclosure (you can feed them), Augustiner and Tegernsee on tap. The restaurant inside the Wirtshaus runs year-round at Bavarian taverna register — Steckerlfisch, Schweinshaxe, Obatzda, the canon. The biergarten is the destination: it's the platonic Munich summer afternoon. (Note: Wotanstraße tram-construction runs through summer 2026; access still works, just check the route.)
Editor's Tip
Self-service section vs. waited section — if it's the first warm day of the year, the self-service is faster and more honest. Bring your own bread/picnic to the self-service tables (legal and traditional) — buy beer, sit, watch the deer. The restaurant proper (waited) holds up if it's raining.
