Trachtenvogl
At night you'll have to shoehorn your way into this buzzy lair favoured by a chatty, boozy crowd of scenesters, artists and students. Daytimes are mellower, all the better to slurp its hot chocolate menu and check out the cuckoo clocks and antlers, left over from the days when this was a folkoric garment shop.Child-friendly during the day.

TSV 1860
The Allianz Arena is also home turf for Munich's 'other' soccer team, the perennial underdogs TSV 1860 . They only play in Germany's second league but still have an enormously loyal fan base. The team trains at Grünwalder Strasse 114 (M02D7), also in Harlaching (take tram 25 to Südtiroler Strasse). Call ahead for training times.

Viktualienmarkt
After a day of sightseeing or shopping stock up on tasty nibbles at the Viktualienmarkt, then lug your loot a few steps further to this chestnut-shaded beer garden, a Munich institution since 1807. The breweries take turns serving here, so you never know what's on tap.

Waldwirtschaft Grosshesselohe
One of Munich's nicest beer garden oases, this one delivers Spaten beer, 2500 seats under shady chestnuts, idyllic views of the Isar valley and live jazz nightly in good weather from Easter through September. Kids can frolic on the big playground. Take the S7 to Grosshesselohe/Isartalbahnhof.

Zappeforster
This relaxed hangout is known for its creamy cappuccino, perky ice teas and warm home-made waffles served beneath groovy mountain wallpaper or on the sunny terrace.
-
Zum Flaucher
This congenial restaurant-cum-beer garden in the Isar River meadows feels a like a micro-vacation from the city bustle. The spare ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender, kids can wear themselves out on the imaginative playground and soccer fans descend for big matches beamed onto a giant screen. Take the U3 to Brudermühlstrasse.
