A beer hall (Template:Lang-de) is a large pub that specializes in beer.
In Germany
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[a] near the München Hauptbahnhof (Munich central train station), which has since been converted into a movie theater.[2]
Beer halls are a traditional part of Bavarian culture, and feature prominently in Oktoberfest.[3]
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.[4]
In other areas of the world
United States
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.[5] Hofbräuhaus has eight franchised beer halls in the United States.[6]
German brewers who migrated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin built "hundreds of distinctive taverns and beer halls", and also built and established large outdoor beer gardens.[7]
