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 movie theater.

Famous quotes containing the words beer and/or hall:

    “Gin for executions, beer for birthdays, wine for weddings.”
    —P. J. Wolfson, John L. Balderston (1899–1954)

    “He packs wool sheared in April, honey
    in combs, linen, leather
    tanned from deerhide,
    and vinegar in a barrel
    hooped by hand at the forge’s fire.”
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)
