We went to Jolderwirt (great spot in Munich suggested by one of Rick's books) - upstairs - during Octoberfest and had a great, great time.
We will now be in Munich for one night in early December (on the way to Austria for skiing) on a Thursday night and would love to go - but I am wondering if it is open and/or if anyone is there off-season mid-week?
As much fun as the place was, I don't think it will be very fun if we are the only ones there!
We were in Munich over Labor Day weekend, 2007 and also went to Jodlerwirt. We thought it was wonderful and enjoyed feeling like a local (we were the only Americans there that night). My guess is that it will be open off-season because it is a place Germans frequent regularly. Rick Steves indicates in his Germany/Austria 2007 book that the place is open Mon-Sat, and the music is nightly. There's no indication it is seasonal. So, if I were you I would definitely plan a return visit!
I was there about 4 years ago with a group of 6 and had the best time you could ask for. It is a very local place and I would imagine it is open 6 nights a week. If you speak German, it is well worth the visit and if you don't speak German you can still have a great time with lots of laughs and fun. Drink a beer for me.
