Schiller's Hall

You'll smell the woodsmoke and hear the clatter of steins before you even step inside this proper European-style tavern on Hanover Street. The dark timber beams and communal tables nail that Alpine lodge feeling without veering into theme park territory – this feels like somewhere you'd actually find tucked away in Munich's old town. The seasonal Bavarian menu changes with what's good, which means proper schnitzel in winter and lighter fare when the sun's out. Their bottomless brunch has become the weekend ritual for anyone who takes their eggs Benedict seriously, though you're here for the full tavern experience – sharing plates of cured meats, pickled vegetables, and whatever European comfort food the kitchen's perfected that week. The beer selection runs deep, obviously.
