Can someone recommend 2-3 solid places close to central Munich that allows easy walking distance/short taxi to the nightlife (bars, etc).
I'd love to try something German/Bavarian/etc.
Price isn't an issue as long as it isn't $150/person.
Did some research and saw Biergarten Chinesischer Turm (
http://www.chinaturm.de/) and Spatenhaus an der Oper (
Spatenhaus an der Oper). How are these.
Other recommendations welcome!!!
You normally don't need reservations... the Spatenhaus is a good bet, pricing on the higher end. The chinesischer turm Biergarten is open during the day and definitely has no reservations

The restaurant opposite to it closes at 9pm and is far away from the town.
The Weisse Brauhaus is good, relatively cheap and in downtown:

Close to it is Paulaner im Tal, that is a nice place too, the decor is not that traditional though:

BTW, most restaturants in town have an english menu.
