Plekken in Munich

The honest Augustiner — brewery canteen, not the tourist Dom version

Franz Marc and Thomas Mann's old table — 1887 literary café, restored

Sixth-floor café on Marienplatz — direct sightline to the carillon.

Munich's jazz reference since 1978 — concerts every night in a Haidhausen cellar.

The largest beer garden in the world — 8,000 seats under chestnuts, since 1791

Bookstore-café-stage — the quieter heart of Schellingstraße

Former power station turned culture house — concerts, café, riverside biergarten.
