A brief history of the OsterwaldgartenThepub was built in 1874 and restored by the Spaten brewery in 1996. Back then, Schwabing was still a small village, but there was a bowling alley.

This probably attracted young people and workers who worked in the nearby Maffei locomotive factory, as the Osterwaldgarten website reports.

The Spatenbräu beer is freshly tapped at the rustic bar. The slogan “Take a guess … – drink spades” is the program here.

Tip: it is quieter in the rear area or in the adjoining room.

This beautiful Bavarian inn offers an excellent menu at “Munich prices” in a rustic setting.

The duck with dumplings and red cabbage is particularly recommended. Furthermore, there are hearty snacks and many Bavarian delicacies such as roast pork or ox shreds.

Fish is also on offer, as well as various well-dressed salads. The weekly menu offers changing dishes at reasonable prices.

Of course, desserts are a must. The specialty is the glazed Kaiserschmarrn.
