Drinking Establishments - Beer Hall

Beer Hall

A beer hall (German: Bierpalast, Bierstube) is a large pub that specializes in beer. Bavaria's capital Munich is the city most associated with beer halls; almost every brewery in Munich operates a beer hall. The largest beer hall was the 5,000-seat Mathäser near the München Hauptbahnhof (Munich central train station) which has since been converted into a film theatre.

Famous quotes containing the words beer and/or hall:

    “Now I am alone with the dead,
    flying off bridges,
    hurling myself like a beer can into the wastebasket.
    I am flying like a single red rose,
    leaving a jet stream
    of solitude....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Chipmunks jump, and
    Greensnakes slither.
    Rather burst than
    Not be with her.”
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)
