In Salzburg...
 

There's also the Augustiner Braüstübl, overlooking the old city--It's been there for centuries. When I took my father to Salzburg last year, he really enjoyed the semi-drunken firefighters singing folk songs over their magnificent beer. It's set up kind of like a beer hall food court, with individual proprietors selling their own foods. Quite a lot of fun on the right night.

You also get to enjoy the beer hall division of labor. Pay one woman, get a ticket, get a mug off the wall, wash it out, cool it down, take it to the Braümeister and get a properly poured Maß. mmm

If you want to have a pretty authentic Bavarian experience, try the restaurant of the Aying brewery, in the small village of Aying, about 30 mins from the center of Munich on the S-Bahn. It's a very nice setting with typical Bavarian decor, and the restaurant attached to the brewery serves very good regional food. It is not your regular brewery however; the place is definitely more upscale. Few tourists (although they also have a hotel). The walk from the train station in Aying to the restaurant is about 100 yds or so. Reservations are a good idea.

This place is just too cute for words. The hotel rooms are beautiful. Sounds like a destination.
Thanks chtiet,

This place is great!
 

During my last vist we had a "team building" exercise at the brewery. We had an after hours tour with plenty of great beer. We actually walked from the brewery into Aying and ate at a local place in one of the hotels. Very good food ^

Kloster Andechs is actually outside (south) of Munich, but it is a fun trip, especially on a nice day. Their beer is really excellent, brewed by the monks. ^
