beer hall

Bavarian drinking establishment

A beer hall is a large establishment, often with communal seating, where beer is served and consumed in quantity.

The term evokes German drinking culture in particular, where such halls have long been gathering places for socializing, singing, and public events.

We spent the evening at a traditional beer hall in Munich.
