Anatomy of an icon - The Munich Beer and Oktoberfest Museum

So you’re not the kind of traveller who usually goes into museums?
You might reconsider for the house dedicated to Munich's favourite golden drink and the biggest excuse there is to drink it.

You’ll find the Museum Stüberl, a small bar, on the ground floor.

For a bargain 4€ you can combine your museum ticket with a voucher for a beer and a snack and the Stüberl.

The museum is located in Munich’s oldest surviving residential house (1340), a worthy tourist attraction in its own right.




It’s a multi-storey rabbit warren with low ceilings, exposed brickwork and rickety stairs. The staircase on the right of the house is one of a kind. Dubbed the “Stairway to Heaven” it’s narrow, straight and reaches right to the top of the house.
