Drei Groschen Keller - Munich

Wrong. Here is no "traditional Bavarian style set-up" to be found, but the whole restaurant (interior, menu, music) has been designed after Bert Brecht`s opera "Die 3 Groschen Oper". Defenitely a "secret spot" in Munich!

Just to add a tuppence-worth... The Dreigroschenkeller is named after the Threepenny Opera, written by Bertolt Brecht & Kurt Weill. Located just around the corner from the Museum Lichspiele cinema it's a great underground bar. The layout seems to be a bit all over the place with nooks & crannies everywhere and more car-boot-sale junk in every possible spot than you'd see in the tackiest of Irish pubs. The beer of choice here is Isar Plopp (a Weißbier). They brew it themselves and it's served in unlabelled Grolsch-type bottles. The 'Plopp' apparently is the sound that's made when the bottle is opened. It's quite amusing to watch women rapidly sucking at the top of their bottle because they've opened it too quickly and the froth is in free-flow. If you're in a group of 3 or more it'd be a very good idea to book as they are always full at the weekend and quite often during the week also. After 10pm, on Mondays to Wednesday, costumed actors roam through the bar performing songs from the show. That's quite enjoyable and certainly a different way to spend an evening.

Avoid the draft beer as it might be rank like the one I had. Only buy beer from bottle.

Great place to read a book uninterrupted. Nice surroundings. The service won't interrupt you. Sat there 45mn nursing a bier waiting for them to take our dinner order. It never came. They could save lots of money by not printing menus that they don't use. Total crap place servicewise. I would highly recommend it to people that I don't like. This place sux big time. I was on the verge to ask if they knew of a place to eat as we were leaving but I didn't and paid for the bier in as many pieces of change as possible. The big "0" on a scale of 1 to 10. take care, space

I have to say this truly is a find. Just around the corner from the Lichtspiele cinema (the side facing the Isar), the Drei Groschen Keller was an enjoyable meal for myself and my partner. The service wasn't the fastest, but it was still really friendly when it came. The food was basic in nature but really tasty and filling. If you fancy something a little different from the norm - and you aren't expecting Drive Thru speed service - the labyrinthine layout and quietly busy ambience offers a change that is at least worth one trip for the experience. Personally I wasn't there at a time when performances of Die Dreigroschenoper (The Threepenny Opera) was being held - so whether this changes the atmosphere, I can't say. I do plan on returning at this time to find out though! My hint ... take a lighter to light the candle on your table - until you do you won't be able to see the person opposite, never mind the menu! ;o)
