It was busy on a Friday evening though we got a table inside pretty quick. I was surprised at how roomy the place is inside. The atmosphere were brimming with live music and performance and it was quite loud. We ordered the Munich platter for sharing and Heidi’s forest salad as well. The platter was huge for the two of us and I liked the sausages a lot. The crackling pork belly and the pork knuckle was a tad too salty to me though I liked the tenderness and juiciness of the meat. The wait staff were very friendly and polite to us and we didn’t wait long to get our food served even though the place was busy. Thumbs up to the good service and good food.

First pub in Sydney and it was a smash! Let’s get into the review. The classic, rustic interiors, barrels as tables, and servers dressed in traditional German attire instantly transport you to a Bavarian beer hall. Add some great live music to the mix, and the vibe is a solid 5/5. Beer – The Real Star of the Show: Their German beers on tap are the highlight. We tried: • Munich Lager – 5/5: Crisp, light, and refreshing. • Paulaner Weissbier – 5/5: Fruity, smooth, and super refreshing. • Löwenbräu Original – 5/5: Classic, smooth, and perfectly crisp. Drinking from the giant steins genuinely makes you feel like a Nordic warrior – the whole beer experience is perfect. That said, be ready to spend a little more than usual. It’s not cheap, but worth it for the experience. Food – A Bit of a Mixed Bag: We weren’t there for the food, but tried a few things: • Classic Pretzel – 4/5: Good but not mind-blowing (speaking as someone who makes pretzels). The salt wasn’t evenly sprinkled, and the butter was a bit much. • Cheese & Jalapeño Pretzel – 3/5: Felt like overkill. Too much cheese drowning the pretzel. Could definitely be simplified. • Potato Salad – 3/5: Basic and unremarkable. Apple strudel - Could be better 3/5 Service: Service was decent – prompt and attentive enough, especially considering it was a busy night. Overall: Go for the beer, stay for the vibe. The food is secondary but does the job. Perfect spot if you’re chasing that traditional beer hall experience right in Sydney. Rating: 4.5/5 (Only loses half a point for food and pricing.)

The food was enjoyable, with generous portions and prompt service. However, we encountered an issue with the water. We requested water for the table and were provided with two open bottles of Pana water. The water tasted like tap water, and we were not given a choice of bottled or tap. Upon reviewing the bill, we discovered a $24 charge for these bottles. We questioned the charge, as the bottles were presented already open, and we couldn't see it on the menu, making it impossible to verify the water's source. While the staff member at the counter provided a refund, they did so in a dismissive and abrupt manner. Had the bottles been sealed, or even.om the menu , we would have had no issue. Given the taste and the presentation, we suspect this may be a recurring practice of charging for tap water. While we received a refund, the experience was disappointing."

Although the menu is not extensive, the items listed are the ones that would be generally ordered the most. The large Pork Knuckle is the most popular from what I have seen for lunch and dinner. It is huge, and it tastes real good. Definitely worth a visit. The beers are great, too!

I love love love Munich Brauhaus! My family and I have been loyal customers since before they even rebranded to Munich—and we’re not even Australians! Every time we’re in Sydney, we never miss a visit. The food is always amazing, the vibe is so fun, and the live performances always bring so much joy. The service is great too—today i was served by Mitch, who was super friendly, thoughtful and knew so much about German food. He gave the best recommendations! Honestly, Munich has the best pork knuckle in town. And if you haven’t tried the Reuben Brat (in frame) yet, you seriously need to! Love the hospitality!! Always a lovely visit
