World Cup matches in Munich Bars
Dear all,
I will be making my second trip back to Munich during the World Cup (WM) and would like to know recommendations for bars in the HBF / Marienplatz areas that would be good for watching matches (i.e big screens, good atmosphere etc)? I am not aware of any 'Sports Bars'?
Regards
Re: World Cup matches in Munich Bars
On this website already a lot of places are listed where public viewings of the World Cup matches in South Africa will be screened, and the closer the World Cup comes the longer the list will become. It is already quite impressive. Most of the places are in the inner city. To make sure just check the addresses on google maps.

OT: Re: World Cup matches in Munich Bars
Hi Paul,
in return for Kakapo's brilliant answer (which also includes my first thought, Killian's Irish Pub near Marienplatz), could I ask you for a little favour by clarifying a little language issue for me?
Germans tend to assimilate and use English words and prases, no matter if they're suitable or correct.
The term 'public viewing' is widely used (since the World Cup '06) in Germany for public screenings, especially for sports events. Some people here claim that 'public viewing' is an expression which a native speaker would only use for the exhibition of a corpse before its interment. Others think that 'public viewing' can be a public exhibition of pretty much everything, i.e. a large screen transmitting a soccer match as well.
Could you please shed some light on this? Would it sound right to you, if you got invited to go to a 'public viewing' to watch a soccer match, or would it sound like a sacrilege?
Thanks,
Glissi
Re: World Cup matches in Munich Bars
Glissi, although you asked Paul... let me tell you that "public viewing" is used in any context of... well, public viewing LOL So not just the viewing of a corpse. International media have adopted this expression in particular for the public viewing of football matches on big screens at public places. Just google "public viewing" on the international site, and you will see how widely used the expression is.
Re: World Cup matches in Munich Bars
Servus Kakapo,
thanks for the clarification. You might be right there. I did a search on Google UK / Google Com in English and on the English Wikipedia, and the mentions of 'public viewing' fall into a couple of categories:
- Fifa Soccer Language (but since lots of the Fifa officials are non-native English speakers, this doesn't mean anything :-)
- Museums, Theatres, Cinemas, Astronomical Observatories etc., where 'public viewing' means opening their exhibits to the public audience
- dead people (Mainly in the US)
.. seems some self-taught German language specialists were a bit over-zealous here.. :-)
Thanks again,
Glissi
Re: World Cup matches in Munich Bars
Yes, this is it :-)
Before I dare to reply to such language questions I always ask my Kiwi husband, so you can trust me ;-)))
Travel Tips for Munich
Consider doing your Junior Year Abroad
American university students have the option of taking their junior year overseas.
Munich has played a part in one of the oldest Study Abroad programs available.
Since 1953 LMU has hosted American students through the Junior Year in Munich Program. As of 1975, JYM is an officially sanctioned 'discipline' within LMU, so that participating students have wide access to courses throughout the university. In other words, JYM students are fully integrated into university studies in their field while having an American academic 'base' for additional support. This includes classes to improve German language skills.
The photo was taken during the JYM 50th Anniversary Concert performed by the Munich Youth Orchestra, June 2003. The JYM Office is located at
Richard-Wagner-Strasse 27
80333 Muenchen
phone: (49) 89 52 30 26 36
(behind Koenigsplatz, at Gabelsbergerstrasse)

O'fest started as a wedding-cerenomy
The Bavarian Crown-prince Ludwig married Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen in october 12th, 1810 and he decided to let the ordinary people and his court participate in a festivity called "Rossrennerts" - some sort of a racing-competition with horses.
This race took place far ahead of town on an open meadow and it got the name Theresienwiese , because of the name of the bride.
This was the beginning of Oktoberfest .
Later it was prolonged and started already in september, in order to have a better weather.
It became the biggest annual festivity in the world and every 3rd year a great agricultural exhibition is part of the fest and always to be found in the back of Theresienwiese.
SCHLOSS NYMPHENBURG with...
SCHLOSS NYMPHENBURG with wonderful parks and directly beside the BOTANIC GARDEN, your walk outside can take together half an day...
Important: the Bavarian Castles are closed in evening between 5 p.m. - 7 p.m.!!!
Feringasee, go swimming at Feringa lake.
If you feel like cooling off in Summer, why not ride your bike up to Feringasee, I did. Feringasee is a clean lake where many locals go for a swim.
Just follow the paths that run north along the Isar River. There are maps and signs posted along the way, so there is no need to worry about getting lost.
See map for area info.
