Gasthof Hinterbrühl, Restaurant and beer garden in Thalkirchen district, Munich, Germany
Gasthof Hinterbrühl is a restaurant and beer garden in the Thalkirchen district situated on elevated ground along the Isar River, built in country house style. The property accommodates 1000 outdoor seats beneath chestnut trees and another 450 table-service places on a terrace overlooking Hinterbrühler Lake.
The site originated around 1900 from a lime kiln and initially served as a tavern for timber raftsmen working on the Isar. Its transformation into the current country house restaurant and beer garden reflects the changing uses of the location.
The establishment operates as a beer garden where guests can bring their own food or purchase traditional Bavarian dishes from self-service counters. This open approach shapes the relaxed social experience that defines daily life on the grounds.
The site is best accessed on foot or by bicycle, with clear pathways beneath the trees and good orientation between areas. The terrace with lake views is preferred in nice weather, while the shadier spots under the chestnut trees offer protection during rain.
A bridge from the restaurant crosses the timber rafting canal to reach a protected former lock keeper's house, revealing a link to Munich's rafting heritage. This physical connection allows visitors to trace the marks of this historical trade.
