Nothing crazy about it. Munich is my favourite city anywhere in the world. I remember doing a YYZ-FRA-MUC-MAN-LHR-YYZ MR about 10 years ago were I only spent 4 hours in MUC. Still managed to soak up the atmosphere, quite a few beers and Schweinehaxe for dinner in my limited time.
If you want some great beer and a nice Bavarian meal I'd recommend this place.

It's a lot more authentic than the Hofbrauhaus and you will end up sitting with Muncheners as opposed to tourists although both options are fun.^
