Traditional music and food in Munich

Munich is a city with a large number of musical students.. Depending on the weather you can often find a place in an outdoor cafe to sit and hear a team of buskers playing in the evenings. Try the Augustiner Beerhalls (there are several, I prefer the one by the hunting and fishing museum), the Lowenbraukeller, or the Spatenhaus by the Opera. For something smaller try Schneiders, across the street from the McDonalds by the Rathaus.

For a traditional lunch you must have weissewurst, and before noon.

have you got your hotel reservation yet?

The reason I ask is that the area around the Hauptbahnhof (Hbf) is a huge construction area and not easy to get around and not very pleasant at the moment. You might consider being a little further away. Remember that the S-Bahn links all the central Munich stations So that as long as you were close to one of them you were close to everywhere.

The same S-Bahn lines also serve the airport - S1 and S8 for the airport, a whole slew of them in the central area.

Alternative to Hofbräuhaus Augustiner Bräu

and the Alternative to the Alternative

Specifically for music, the Hofbrauhaus is the most dependable for traditional music, they basically always have a band. Other beerhalls it can be hit or miss, especially on a Monday. You can get "okay" food at the Hofbrau, there are better restaurants, I would be inclined to find a good meal, then finish the evening at the Hofbrau for a little music. As it gets closer, maybe browse the websites of the bigger beer halls, they may list entertainment.

Alternative to Hofbräuhaus Augustiner Bräu

Agree with uwe04.

If you take Paul's suggestion, then my first choice is https://paulaner-nockherberg.com/restaurant-and-beer-garden/#restaurant.

The Hofbräuhaus would be a reasonable choice, especially considering that you'll only be there for one day. Rather than the raucous beer hall on the main floor, you could try the large dining hall on the top floor. It's a fairly large room and I don't remember it being excessively noisy. I had dinner there one night, and they had a Bavarian-themed show on the stage at the end of the room.

There's an event listed at the Hofbräuhaus on April 5 (probably in the main floor beer hall), but I didn't see anything for April 6.

If the Englischer Garten is open, the food is great, there is music from the tower, and the atmosphere is gemutlich.

Thank you all for this very helpful information! I will take every thing mentioned into account ◡̈
