Hofbräuhaus am Platzl beer hall in Munich, Germany

A beer hall (German: Bierpalast, Bierhalle) 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.

Beer halls are a traditional part of Bavarian culture, and feature prominently in Oktoberfest.[1]

Beer halls can also be found in places settled by ethnic Germans. St. Louis, Missouri is home to a number of beer halls, some of which seat several hundred persons.

The Bürgerbräukeller was a particularly prominent beer hall in Bavaria, which lent its name to the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, an attempted Nazi coup led by Adolf Hitler. The Bürgerbräukeller had long been a Nazi meeting place, and was the starting point of the 1923 coup.[2]
