@ARNC sure thing

@weftyarn was super helpful when my wife and daughter visited Munich earlier this year. I’ll see what information would be relevant to add here - they were visiting the new arena at the Messe for a concert.

EDIT - congrats Andrew @ARNC !

@ARNC That is a feeling I know all too well. Congrats.

[ARNC]

Hello to IH members in Munich! after speaking with IH Alex, he suggested a fellow forum member might be able to help me with a purchase from the store The Statement in Munich that does not ship to the United States. I am needing some help in purchasing a t-shirt from the flat head and having it sent to me here in California, United States.

The Flat Head ‘Tiger & Dragon’ 9,7oz Loopwheeled T-Shirt – Black / Foam Print
If anyone can help me out it would be appreciated. I am willing to paypal the funds so the shirt could be purchased and shipped to me. Is there anyone of the Munich IH family that can help me out? Weftyarn and Fades are two members who Alex suggested might be game to lend me a hand…the shirt is not available in The US and the flat head Japan said they have none any longer.
If so, please reach out to me so we can chat.

Sale price €159,95

I’ll be there in a month and can help.

I'll be in Munich, January 15th - 17th. I'll be staying near the Hauptbahnhof. Recommendations, and opportunities to hang out are welcome...

@weftyarn your time to shine

@scooter augustiner-keller. bmw museum

[JerkStore]

Drink Augustiner Helles from the wooden barrel and it’ll become your white whale to find locally.

[ARNC]

@scooter the true locals will beat an occasional visitor but +1 on the Augustiner Keller.

Also worth considering:
Wirsthaus in der Au
Paulaner Nockherberg
Pacific Times

[tenuin]

Die Goldene Bar nice and easy for cocktails
amazing drinks at Garçon. Its nice if you're a bit bougie
The Old Irish pub. Its and old irish pub with insane whisky selection

Besides Statement (local IH dealer) theres also Ralf's on the same street thats worth checking out

[weftyarn]

@scooter Great to have you in Munich mate! When exactly will you be landing / leaving? I could arrange something for the 17th in the afternoon depending on your plans

Either way, some recommendations apart from the maybe more obvious ones

Augustiner Drei Mühlen for the most authentic Augustiner from the wood barrel.
Augustinerkeller also great, my favorite among the more touristy ones. Many locals go there too.

Eat some of the best Kaiserschmarrn at Rumpler. Also a great authentic place to have a fresh Augustiner.

Metzgerei Gaßner for fresh authentic Münchner Weißwurst with sweet mustard (my favorite). If you’re into that… Visit before 12AM for Münchner breakfast.

Statement store is of course a must. Combine with Man vs Machine for coffee or Jaded Monkey for great Cocktails.
Walk to Viktualienmarkt, kind of touristy but definitely worth it.

Walk from Odeonsplatz / Hofgarten to the surfer spot Eisbachwelle (yes they do surf in winter) and then northwards through the English garden however long you want (stretches many kilometers…). Pick up coffee at Man vs Machine and pain chocolat at Boulangerie Dompierre.

If you’re into museums / art exhibitions etc. your best bet is the „Pinakotheken“ area. Also some nice coffee shops around there. And many young people, Technical University (TUM) just around the corner.

So many more options. Just let me know what you’re into

Is the wave still there @weftyarn ?
I was reading they recently removed or installed some underwater barrier that removed the surfing height wave?

[tody]

@pechelman city cleaned the bottom of the river which destroyed the wave. surfers tried to reinstate it with an underwater barrier, which got removed by authorities - at least that is how i understood the news coverage.

[weftyarn]

Oh that’s a story haha. But the latest status should be that it’s up and running again after a wild guerilla surfer action where they (anonymously) installed wooden elements bringing the wave back.

@scooter No waste of time just stopping by and checking personally, it’s right in the city center and English Garden is worth it anyways

[JerkStore]

My favorite restaurant/beer hall was Nürnberger Bratwurstglöckl. Highly recommend it. Right in the city center.

[pechelman]

In addition to the augustiner recommendations one of my other favorites is Ayingers directly across from hofbrauhaus. Everytime I've been they have their jahrhundert lager in wood cask pouring. While augustiner helles is my favorite Munich beer, this is my second favorite. The food was always consistently great too the few times we've been. Funny enough, we've always had the same waitress too, though I doubt she remembers.

I'll be arriving early evening of the 15th, with a 2 day stay booked. My plan is to hop a train to Berlin on the 17th. Which train I take will be determined by how much fun I'm having...
