Munich's spiritual home of Weissbier (wheat beer) and Weisswurst (white veal sausage), serving the Schneider Weisse brewery's beers in an atmospheric traditional interior since 1872. The Weisses Bräuhaus is one of the few places where you can enjoy the complete traditional Bavarian breakfast experience of Weisswurst, sweet mustard, a pretzel, and a Weißbier before noon.
Weisses Bräuhaus, open in Munich's Altstadt since 1872, is the spiritual home of Weissbier — Bavarian wheat beer — pouring the full range of the Schneider Weisse brewery's beers, including the celebrated dark wheat bock Aventinus, in an atmospheric, traditionally tiled interior with wood tables and vaulted ceilings. The kitchen is built around the classic Munich Weisswurst breakfast: veal-and-pork white sausages served with sweet mustard, a pretzel, and a wheat beer, ideally consumed before noon per local tradition, alongside a broader traditional Bavarian menu of roasts, dumplings, and sauerkraut. The dining room is loud, busy, and unmistakably local in character — communal tables and a brisk, efficient service style rather than a quiet meal. No dress code applies, and the atmosphere favours a boisterous lunch or early dinner over a romantic evening out. Reservations are available for groups but most guests simply walk in; the restaurant stays open from breakfast through late evening, making it one of the few places to genuinely experience the full Weisswurst ritual as locals do rather than as a tourist re-enactment.
