Munich's Hofbrä uhaus is the most famous beer hall in the world, but that doesn't mean you should visit it.
The glorious history of this institution, associated with the Bavarian dukes, Mozart and, damn it, Lenin ended on February 24.1920. On this day, Corporal Hitler founded the NSDAP in the main hall of the Hofbrä uhaus. The consequences are known to all.
During the bombing of Munich, the American "Flying Fortresses" destroyed the beer building. And not immediately, but the third time.
It would seem that the history of the cursed house is over and you can drive an aspen stake into the place where it stood.
No matter how. The house has been rebuilt and the business is flourishing. Initially, in the fifties and sixties, the Hofbrä uhaus attracted tourists precisely by its connection with Aloizych. Then, gradually, it turned into a tourist attraction, positioning itself as a traditional German pub.
The reality is that the Hofbrä uhaus has nothing to do with a traditional German beer hall. Yes, there are guys in traditional clothes sitting there, drinking beer and bawling songs.
These are, at best, hired unemployed actors, at worst, alcoholics who work for food and drink.
Yes, they serve good beers.
But this beer is produced by the huge HB corporation, which supplies half of the globe with its products, and conveyor products cannot be exclusive. She can only be good.
Yes, there are cabinets in which there are personal and family mugs.
But Munich people don't go to this place. it causes them emotions ranging from indifference to disgust. Try to invite a local friend to the Hofbrä uhaus on your next visit to Munich and look at the expression on his face.
Like this.
It is clear that the tourism industry involves some artificiality and compromises. But everything has a limit.
