Hofbrauhaus & Rauthau-Glokenspiel - Munich - Things To Do Reviews

Whats up people? Just came back from a weekend in Bavaria, Germany. Man what an experience.... Spent one day in Munich. It was amazing. However, if you dont care for a city feel with tons of different nationalities and busy streets you may feel differently. Im from NYC so I felt right at home. I must say that the people dress exceptionally well here... even for an afternoon stroll the Gucci loafers come out!lol. Its great to people watch over in the Marienplatz...trust me you'll see it all, from locals dressed in lederhosen to Arab women dressed from head to toe in garbs.

I ate across from the Rathaus-Glockenspiel of Munich, which is the most famous glockenspiel in the world and was highly dissapointed to see that it didnt go off at 9PM due to ongoing construction. Actually, I was a little ticked off because I settled for the restaurant across from it just for the view... The food sucked and the service was two times worse. My advise is to take your pictures and eat somewhere else that may be worth it. I still enjoyed the experience though.

After dinner I went over to the Hofbrauhaus am Platzl with some coworkers... Its a beer hall that is a must see in my opinion...There were tons of tourist there, but there were plenty of local nationals as well... They had the traditional German music band live... them guys were jammin in their lederhosen.. They had the place rockin'...You sit at a table with total strangers... Amazing how drinking a brew together will convert a stranger into a friend in about 2 minutes flat... Before I knew it I was up on my feet singing songs I didnt even know with the local guys and some Japanese tourist who I couldnt communicate with due to language barriers, but understood through gestures....lmao. They were so much fun and rowdy as all hell... My kind of people. After cheering "Ein Prosit, Ein Prosit..." we clanked our huge muggs and chugged down some good German beer. One of the German guys was married to an Indian girl... The coolest people ever. She went and bought the hugest pretzels Ive ever seen so that we had something to go with our beers... kudos to her!! LOL. However the most amazing thing was watching this girl/waitress carry like 4 of those heavy muggs in each hand without a sweat in her brow...

If your in Munich AKA Munchin you have to visit this place.. I didnt want to leave and Im not even a bar person (I prefer lounges and clubs)!! I was told that the English Haofbarauhaus is also a must see, but unfortunately I didnt have the time. Well hope this helps!! Prosit
