The Hofbräuhaus in München (Munich) is the most famous beer hall in the world. At first it was kind of a bummer to go by myself, but half way through that sucker and I felt just dandy (and 'oom pa pa' music was the best thing I've ever heard). I made friends with some regulars who didn't speak English and ordered dinner for a Japanese couple that didn't speak German. Ein Mass (a whole liter!) is the only size that can beer ordered. The place was noisy as hell and lots of fun.
