Overview
- The new Weihenstephaner Wirtshaus officially opened with a ceremonial keg tap by Science Minister Markus Blume on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, timed to coincide with the Wiesn.
- The venue occupies a fully renovated state-owned building at Platzl 6 next to the Hofbräuhaus and replaces Alfons Schuhbeck’s Südtiroler Stuben, which closed in 2022.
- The Zinner family will run the operation with Ferdinand Zinner as host, Sebastian Zinner as head chef and Cornelia Zinner overseeing beer quality control.
- Guests can order the full Weihenstephan beer range at a central bar—Helles, Weißbier, Kellerbier, Dunkles, Pils, Doppelbock and a 7.7% Weizenbock—with some pours and tasting options priced and a modern Bavarian menu mixing local and international influences.
- The lease is held by the Weihenstephan research brewery through the Bayerische Staatsoper, linking the Technical University of Munich’s brewery to a public showroom that could raise the brewery’s profile in Munich’s tourist core.
