Munich splits its game day between two kinds of room. The Irish pubs around the Altstadt run the screens and turn the sound up for football, rugby and the late kickoffs. The big beer halls put the marquee match on for a Champions League night and pour liters while the room watches.

Both work, and the right call depends on the game. For a Premier League Saturday or a Six Nations afternoon, our pick is an Irish room with a dedicated feed. For a Bayern night in the European competitions, the beer halls give you the bigger crowd.

These eight all link to live profiles on our Munich guide. We ranked them on how the room handles the match, then on the beer and the seats.

The Irish and Sports Pubs

These rooms keep dedicated screens and put the sound on the headline fixture. They are the safe call for a multi league night when the group cannot agree on one match.

How we picked

How we picked

We ranked these on the things that decide a game day: whether the room turns the sound on for the games that matter, the screens and sightlines, and a beer and kitchen that hold up through every kickoff. Every pick links to a live profile and was cross checked against its own listing and independent Munich guides before publishing. For the full year of viewing, start with our Munich sports bars guide, the Munich bar guide, or the sports bars category. The method behind this series lives in our watching the game pillar, with sport specific picks in our Champions League and Premier League guides. Last reviewed May 28, 2026 .
