If you haven’t been to Ernst Biergarten, prepare to be teleported to the heart of Bavaria. The interiors feature warm wooden accents, long communal tables with checkered tablecloths, rustic benches, vintage beer signs, and traditional Bavarian motifs that add a touch of old-world charm.
Celebrating with mates? Round up a gang of four and opt for a signature experience which will get you a beer tower and a sharing pan. For a little friendly-competition, participate in the Stein-Holding Competition. Fun fact: the world record is 23 minutes, 40 seconds.
