Shamrock Irish Pub - Munich

Went here Wednesday last week. Was expecting trouble, after all the stories. Took a couple of big lads with me just in case. Was pleasantly surprised. Didn't get knifed or bottled. Place was comfortably full. 98% of them Germans. TV screens every which way you looked. One of them a big screen showing footy. Live band came on later. This was the only thing which met expectations - it was Awful with a capital AW. Good pizza though. "Bauer Pizza" - covered in smokey Speck. Truly scruptious. They give out beer tokens with each pint. Collect 10 tokens and you get one free. My 5 tokens will go to waste.

I like it as well. the service is much better than GM and it is more Irish too. They play a lot of rebel songs too. (like The Field's of Athenrye and the Irish anthem at the end) That doesn't mean it is rough in any way! At the week end it is mostly far too crowded and they don't really have a working air condition, so it is pretty smokey and often pretty warm. Good crowd in their usually on a sunday afternoon after the football. It isn't too busy then and good for a lazy afternoon. Unfortunately the food is not very nice as they don't really have a kitchen. But it's true, the Pizze are really nice. Check the programme of the bands in there, some of them really rock.

My last day in Munich I had pint in the Shamrock. I had a ball, the staff were very friendly especially Kate Flynn who had a pleasant welcoming smile. the pizza there was good as well. had a brill time in Munich. thanks for having us Mark Catterson Rose Cannon

Spent a summer in Munich, and really enjoyed the atmosphere in the Shamrock. This place was probably one of the places i miss most from Munich. Never had any trouble in there, but that may have been down to the fact that there was alwaysa crowd of us. Bar staff were extremely friendly and a good time was always on the cards.

The place is a dump. Always has been. Always will be.

why is everyone expecting trouble when they go here?

Been going there for years - seems I always missed the "trouble". Nice staff for a "dump".

i worked in munich about 3 years ago in the seehaus beer garden had the time of my life .shamrock was me local i it loved best pub in germany by far.I would like a job i have worked in the pub buisness all my life ,im funny and a bit mad please give me a job joxxx

The Shamrock well....wots to say? Most of the staff r nice,especially me n john,the rest foget they just drink. the place is a dump,but we do try dont like dont cum again-do like it c u again.

3 years ago, I had a summerjob in Munich. Never knew it would turn out to be the time of my life. Shared a house with 3 other girls and most of the time we tasted the nightlife of Munich. One rainy afternoon though, 2 of us ended up in the Shamrock. And there I met what turned out to be the love of my life, an Irishman. Unfortunately, I do not see him anymore. But I will always treasure the good memories of him, your pub and Munich. So thanks for that.

shamrock rulz. good work guys and gals. keep it up. come on the Hoops.

Was in Munich, had a blast a shamrock on kareoke night.... I met a guy there... a bartender or manager... black hair, blue eyes... IRISH... does anyone know his name?

smallish guy but quite stocky? short dark hair? describe him more, i *may* be know him, certainly rings a bell.

In response to Lanie, I think that is Dave. Quite short?

To Lanie, is this the Lanie I met three years ago at oktoberfest? She had a girlfriend named Stephanie.

No sorry wasnt at Oktober fest.... ummm I think he had an Irish sounding name... anyways... had an incredible night with him and would like to repeat sometime

good place had lots of fun all the staff so nice

was there this summer working in der Seehaus. Great laugh. THe Shamrock is the best pub around. Staff were very friendly and the cheap shots went down a treat!!

Hello patrick from clarenbridge in galway we now know about the chicen farm

Anyone heard of a place called "Patties" down the street from the U station? It's been 7 years since I've been there and was wondering if this was the same place with a different name.

Too make it a little more clear it was down the street from the Münchner Freiheit station past the McDonalds and past the supream skateboard shop on the left side of the street. Drug raids all the time back then lol.

You're thinking of Paddy's, not "Patties".

Thanks, that's it! I remember the sting operations there. The police busting through the front door with video cameras with spot lights on em. So I'm assuming it's still there? Man, I spent so much time in that place it isn't funny. Would like to find two old friends from there anmed Tbor and Chis frun Hungary.

Is that paddys the place with the sliding doors with the chain on the toilets music blaring and packed

Justto put the record straight.Shamrock is not a rough pub.We can't remember the last time there was a fight,those day's are well gone as any of our many regulars will tell you.during the week 80% German customers, at weekends more ex-pats.Greg the new manager is playing more 70's-90's and the customers love it. We don't apologise for being a very Irish Pub where everyone is welcome even the begrudgers.

To Declan: Sona Athbhliain. I don't know if you remember me, but we met in the Shamrock in August 2002. I hope you are happy and I wanted to thank you for the short but great time we had in Munich. I will never forget you.

I spent a summer in Munich and made it to the Shamrock any night we could. €1 tequila, where else would you get it. the staff were cool, got a free t-shirt. The best place for having d craic.

2 irish girls cumin over to munich in april cant wait to visit the shamrock have heard so many good things about it..wud luv a job as we are very friendly wit big smiles!ppppppllllllzzzzzzzz,c ye soon xxxx

Hello my dears irish mad bastards! Lots of kisses from the first female glaswasher in shamrock, Munich 1997! I really enjoyed the time at that place, was there everyday smoking my pipe and drinking red wine. I dont know, who is still there from you: john daly? mick crey? cathal murphy?theresa mc intyre? im looking for contact to declan rynne and andy read. could someone help me with that? Mila, the witch from Slovakia (Ostblock)

Went there yes'day with a small group. This was the most despicable pub I've ever been to during my 6 years in Munich. Dirty tables which were never cleaned, consistently rude behavior from both of the waitresses. Bi****s, did not even know how to ask a guest to clear way so that she could pass though. And, I was served something which I did not order.

The Shamrock is a bar for drinking !!! If you think this is some 'chicky micky' german bar to pose , forget it..This is a place to go when you are on the tail end of 12-14 beers and you want to ease the pain..its a top spot..anytime I was there I roared into the night and woke 6pm on a Sunday..its served my purpose well..and the fact its there since 1995? , well that says something ??????

We go here every time we go to the Oktoberfest (which is twice, so far) and they are always rather nice to us, even though my group can be rather hard work. The first time we went there they had a fantastic classic rock cover band, and we were drinking Tequila and Hermann Maiers all night long. That night did even outshine the Oktoberfest for us, and did put at least one of us out for the count. This year they quite kindly allowed me to put my Welsh flag up behind the bar, and I did meet three of the nicest people there - Chris the Irish-German, Cloudina the Damien Rice fan, and a very pretty Oxford Press publisher. Also, I think the dodgiest photos of the trip were taken inside that bar. I like the place. A good laugh.

It's a dump full of wannabe IRA type cowards (who can't fight - typical Irish).

Any one know if they're still running poker tournaments on thursdays?

anyone know if there are any poker tournaments here anymore? or know of any going on this weekend in munich?

The poker tournaments are still on on Thursdays

Been to Oktoberfest 4 times since 2002. I had the best times in this pub. Met a dark haired Swedish girl that was incredible. We just met and made out in the bar in front of everyone for hours. Amazing, but I never saw her again. Let me know if you see her.

spent a summer in munich in 2000 and the shamrock was best place in munich. drink in camp site, then shamrocks and the night would not be complete without trip to the pouges home. dont know if that still there. best summer of my life. the shamrock is for drinking and crack. onlt time got into fight was across the main street in tapa tapa or something.

On my last trip to Munich I spent an evening in the Shamrock. I enjoyed the atmosphere immensely and then there was this youth in charge of the karaoke. Couldn´t take me eyes off of him! Does anyone know his name and is he Irish?

I used to drink in shamrock in 1990- 1992, was back last year, its still a dive

"youth in charge of the karaoke" - bearded? Long hair? Tall? Could be any one of 5 people who run or have run the karaoke. Think there's only one Irish lad who's run the karaoke in the past while. I'm quite fond of the Shamrock, had good times there, Saturdays are normally totally jammers and good craic.

Lyanna, I think that must have been Jackson who was doing the kareoke that night, the ladies do seem to take a shine to his aussie charms! The fella with the long hair Punchbear mentions would be christof, lovely chap but unfortunately doesnt quite has Jackos charms.

Ah but Jacko's taken. Tough luck girdles ;)

The Shamrock in Trautenwolfstrasse has changed its opening hours and is now closed on Sunday and Monday, a sad loss to the Sunday afternoon soccer/football watching crowd after the demise of Günter Murphy's 18 months ago. They have upped their activities on the other evenings, hosting karaoke Tuesday and Friday (keeps the costs for live acts down, of course), poker Wednesday and Thursday, a quiz on Thursday and live music on Saturday. Wednesday also is Student Night with special prices for those with student ID. The last Wednesday every month is open for the Irish music get-together.

Lived in Munich from 90 till 93 and went here on a Friday night, then over to Murphy's then on the Swabing, Good times, great staff, Doormen were a bunch of nutters,

I lived in Munich 1994-95 and went to Shamrock at least once a week. A lot of the time I went there on my own, I was always well looked after, met some great people in there. Funniest memory was of a live band whose lead singer used a Stylophone and was a loonatic. Never any trouble when I went, loved it in there. Good times!

had some of the best nights of my life in that boozer. super sundays in there were the stuff of legends. was there summers of 01 and 02. been all over the world and the shamrock is the best irish pub i've ever been in. real shame to hear its shut sundays... and to lanie, that barman you met is called daithi. i go back every chance i get and hopefully i'll be back for the fest 09.

Where else in Munich can you bring your own beers and the bar tenders (minus jon) don't care, where can you get a waitress with the tongue (and face) of a thundercat along with those piercing cocaine hangover eyes; and, the best thing about SHAMROCK, is not that an English wanker can walk out with a black eye, but their best customer is a black, jewish, irishman named SIMON. greeting to (next to Schwabinger 7) the best shit hole in Munich! is dahee, dave still working?

Word missing from name above "was a drunk" IDIOT

jeckel how many black eyes have you then had...must be an english tosser, eh mate?

I lived in Munich from 1991-95. Oh, Irish student from Killybegs! I still think of you now and then... Where are you now Adrian? I loved the Irish and still do but I had to go back for education in Stockholm... We were a lot of Scans from Sweden and Finland and most of the time we went to Shamrock and GM. Great time.
