Munich Smoke Free Restaurants & Bars

Münchner Rauch Frei Restaurants & Bars

http://www.berklix.org/restaurants/

by Julian H. Stacey - Tobacco Smoke Allergic No Smoking

Aug 2013 Nearly all these places are still there

So this page still here, some not all of these places good + they deserve credit being smoke free before others were forced to.

1st Jan 2008 Bavarian Non Smoking Law came into force

All bars & restaurants etc now smoke free.
  • The places i go to seem to be about as full as before, just a few varying empty seat with owners outside for a smoke.
  • Air clean inside, except
    • walking home, all the addicts now out on the street puffing away.
    • when your table neighbour nips out to smoke, & it's on their breath when they walk back into restaurant &/or turn to talk to you.
  • Some places, like eg a "Sports Bar/Premiere TV visited by Sage-MUC Jan '08 still smell of residual smoke if you'r there for an evening.
  • There will of course still be all the poisons in the walls & soft furnishings etc, slowly emanating out again, so the places that were previously smoke free will still smell better, & less likely give a headache..
  • A few grubby dives have turned themselves into smokers clubs, with membership/ entrance fees &/or keys etc.
  • Some publicans were trying to get Starkbier fest exempt from the law. Doubtless if they succeed, thy'll then try for the the big one: Oktoberfest.
  • How Oktoberfest will work out we don't know: smokers can't dive out, poison the still air outside, then dive in, cos bouncers on doors as `tents' (actually semi permanent structures not really a tent at all) are often over full. Maybe the tents will sell them temporary exit passes for a nominal fee to cover the increased bouncers needed.
Below written pre 2008:

Ihr Rauch = meine allergischen Kopfschmerzen. Stick a Nicorette patch !

  • Few places are yet 100% smoke free. Most just have areas.
  • Places that call themselves "Restaurant And Bar" gets listed (if at all) just as restaurant, if smoking at bar allowed.
  • Mail entries to add please.
  • Any failed to keep smoke free ? Complain to waiter, reason you came was they were listed here as Smoke Free, & you'r now going to have their free advert cancelled. Tell me, I'll do it.
  • As choice increases, we'll be able to be more selective, tending to 100% smoke free.
  • Comments ? Tell us at the all year Friday Beergardens where we also don't smoke.
  • Sort Order: Alphabetic by part of name in Bold Font.

Habit: Remove ash trays from tables & place under chair by walls.
Public cancer stick users & supporting waiters can go grovel!
Profit: Tell waiters: Smoke reduces Profit ! More smoke - Less hunger - Less food sold. Budget smokers often eek out their drinks posing with supermarket bought cigarettes, drinking slower. Non smokers buy everything from the waiter, & often drink faster.

  Bahrs & More Merge of Vienna coffee house & Irish country pub - says their web - Nothing like an Irish pub ! Trappen- treu- Str. 23 - 80339 München - Gegenüber Gewerbe- hof - Westend Phone 321 20 456 - Fax: (089) 321 20 545 Email Owner has an allergy. The smoke was life threatening, hence the owner's keen change to smoke free :-) The schnitzel J.S. found fine, The chilli S.S reckoned to be like cat food.
Bella Italia Asam Hof Italian Im Asam Hof, Sendlinger- Str 28 Tel: 2609377
Fax: 2607428		 Left for non smoking, right for smoking. High ceiling, no wall separation but good unless at table adjacent to queuers waiting (they put a small table for 2 there, adjacent to all us non smokers, with one smoker!). 11:00-24:00 North of North corner of Asam- Kirche (church).
There are various other Bella Italias in Munich, (eg one at Stachus Herzog Wilhelm- str 8 Tel: 592359, 11:30 - 00:30. but that's crowded & not smoke free, far as I've ever noticed). Both have spacious terraces in summer, Stachus more spacious, all depends which way the wind is though, as smokers as permitted outside.
  Bernis Nudelbrett Italian/ German Peters- platz 8, 80331 München (Above Viktualien- markt, next to church) Tel: 264469 Fax: 855083 Big First half of restaurant starting at entrance is smoke free, Back half is smoking. No wall between, but L shaped room. Toilets are in the smoked half. Tables well lit, menus easy to read, & spacious seating. Now (2007.01) has 3 sections: Non smoking to left of the door ( 1st table seats 8 max., Next tables mostly not expandable for variable size Stammtisch groups very easily) ; Then come smokers in the mid section at the corner, (not walled off); Then there's a big non smoking room to the right at the end, with sliding doors (left open, I closed them later), big table in middle ideal for groups to perhaps 14+, surrounded by lots of smaller tables.
Block House Steak House Leopold- Str 32, (East side), Schwabing. Tel: 331718 Erik S.:{They have a smoke free part. The food is excellent (Steaks, Burgers, Spareribs etc) , but it's a little bit on the expensive side. and they expect you to eat. So it's probably nothing for the beer garden group.} U.

Gast Restaurant Kultur- zentrum Gasteig U. Bahn Rosenheimer Platz (Ausgang West). Tram: Am Gasteig. Self service like Mövenpick once was, according to NIM Fresh food. 5-8 Euro
  Hacker Haus Bavarian Wirtshaus Actually more a Restaurant at times, as they wont allow reservations often if people might just drink. Sendlinger- Str 14, Ecke Hacken- str, Tel: 2605026
Fax: 2605027
Email 		They have a smallish Non Smoking Section but they allocate different [or no ? areas by the day, & you need to book in advance so they can plan it. A single per day designated room, where they choose the room according to size of room needed by aggregating all that days non smoker reservations. worked out well twice so far. Central, between Marien- Platz & Sendlinger Tor. Has been used for the winterised beer garden.
The small room for ~16 to 20 on left in cellar is not good enough on a busy Friday: The waitresses keep coming through to serve beer & don't shut the door, when I kept shutting it, the room overheated, (despite door near stairs remaining open. The door to the larger room lets a lot of smoke blow in (& noise too).
Hacker Pschorr Bräuhaus Ex: Bavaria Bräu Ex http://www.bavaria-braeu.de Bavarian beer hall, modern style. Decorated with large beer brewing vessels & cast iron accessories. Theresien höhe 7     80339 München. Tel 500593800 (from web),

Tel 5005938.11 		Non smokers area at the back, near serving area. Not walled off, but high ceiling, so not bad. Smoke has occasionally wafted in though, but not usually noticeable. { Hell 3.2, Dunkles 3.2, Schw. Schnitzel 7.95 } @ Jan 07 New management so at 2007.06.22 When we booked non smoking table & non smoking part of main hall was booked out witha big reservation, we were located in Thai section with choice of Bavarian or Thai food.

U. Bahn Max Weber Platz, U4 & U5, then walk South West along Innere Wiener- Str. No. 19 is a very big building on the right, & despite the word Keller you go Up some steps.

Ignaz Vegetarian Cafe Georgen- str 67, Schwabing 80799 Tel: 2716093 A bit hot & stuffy. Fully non smoking inside. The 2 summer beer tables on the pavement aren't non smoking though. I like the Indian dish, though its too mild for me. Has been used for the winterised beer garden group. All ate there.
  zum Jagdschlössl Bavarian Gast- stätte Nymphen- burger- Str. 162 (directly at U. Bahn Rot- Kreuz- Platz) 1689241 Fax: 13998055 Recommendation from NIM Nichtraucher- Raum Cheap and "gutbürgerliches" Food. The room on the left is smoke free, bigger room on right is smoked. Owner wont take big bookings from NIM for meeting, 'cos he wants to not lose room for his regular non smoker customers.

Fax: 29160784		 Separate non smoker room with 40 Seats
McDonald's Burger/ Fast food joint     Most are smoke free, but not PEP/ Perlach, where Barbara J. says cowardly managers hide away, & won't enforce the rule. It's not a restaurant, & I (jhs) don't like their buns or salad additives in the bun, then there's the question of BSE, but the air may be clean.
.Paulaner Brauhaus Am Kapuziner Platz Bavarian Pub/ Restaurant Kapuziner Platz 5. U. Bahn Goethe- platz. Tel 544611.0 Fax 544611.18 Big. MK Says part of it is recently non smoking. Middle (or back ?) room I guess. Beer garden outside.

  Maredo Steak House Rinder Markt 5 Tel: 2607410 (There's another one Im Tal) Jim L. reckons the beef isn't Argentinian, despite being so labelled, he'd probably know, I wouldn't though. Left of door is non smoking, right is smoking. When reserving, Stations 3 & 4 are the non smoking ones. Avoid far back of station 4, where smokers walk down steps to toilets ! Not usable for the winterised beer garden group, many of whom only drink. Here they expect to sell food.
  Nero & Lounge Rumford Str 34, Tel: 089 21019060 No smoking parts down & up. Lounge part up smoked. Can just drink or eat too. Rec. < MK & M-A 2007.02
  Padova ? Ampfing- str. 48, 81671 Muenchen Tel: 089 4314719 Where NIM do their Mitgliedersammlung, so presumably worth checking
  Prinz Myshkin Vegetarian Restaurant Hacken- str 2, 80331 Tel: 265596
Fax: 264496		 Email Mostly non- smoking , (raised area) No effective separation of air zones, but English speaking waiter says in practice all but the window row tends to be non smokers, they stack the non smokers outward from the raised area. They're also getting (as of writing Feb 2004) an extra room that will be entirely non smoking. Probably suitable for the winterised beer garden. Says "Bar" on sign outside, so I guess they have to accept people not eating, though perhaps they're supposed to sit at bar, & that might have smokers arriving. Has been used for the winterised beer garden group, not ideally the right place. Food was bland & expensive for what it was. In the back corner there's an air input. No smoke :-) Waiter Miltos speaks English. Friday's @ 7 they want big groups if reserving to also eat, cos tables are in heavy demand. A waitress in parking orbit near entrance to kitchen smoked. They tried to charge 3.3 Euro till I pointed out that outside it said 3. They didn't argue, accepted 3, & changed the price outside before we left.
Ratskeller Marien- platz Bavarian Wirtshaus, Most really a restaurant as they'll expect you to eat Marien- platz 8, Under The Rathaus Tel: 219989.0 Just a bunch of perhaps 10 or so tables marked as non smoking, not walled off from others though. Adjacent to other smoker tables with just a useless metal trellice separating smokers but not smoke.
We used it for the winterised beer garden group, popular, we got a high turnout, despite not cheap.

Some USA Coffee Shop Coffee House, American chain Im Tal. North side. Between Conrad & Marien- platz   Mostly non smoking. Smokers ghetto on left as you enter.

Fax: 290138 15		 Upstairs is entirely Non Smoking ! (Except it drifts up stairs a bit, & some idiots smoke in the upstairs toilet, instead of going to the downstairs smokers toilet, too stupid to understand tobacco smoke is not just more smell, but cancer & headache producing). Traditional large Bavarian Gast- Staette, so you can just go & drink, though personally, I eat too). Wide range of interesting beers, some very strong. A palatable cloudy! alkohol frei too. Lots of choice. Menus in many languages inc Japanese etc. Apparently it's shorter/ quicker from the side door (on the North- South street), than from main door (on corner), running the gauntlet of smokers downstairs.

Ideas Worth Investigating

  • There are a few other places too, listed by German organisations.
  • Burger King Im Tal
    A stupid company needing needing flash on top page , Should one expect more from a company that falsely calls theirs a Restaurant, yet has no cutlery & waiter service & is actually a Burger/ Fast food joint).
  • All MacDonalds in Germany starting late spring 2007 will be 100% non smoking.

Places NOT having smoke free - Headache now, Cancer later

A few places I never feel need to go to again.
  • Hof Brau Haus: I asked lots of waiters on all 3 floors: NO.
  • Schrannen- Halle, No, smoked throughout. Sort of place moron posers like to be seen fag in hand, not even inhaling. Very high ceiling though, by careful placing next to food vending stand you can be lucky.

Walking There

It's a nasty experience walking the length of Sendlinger- Str & back @ 19:30, to check several venues, dodging every few steps to avoid all the smokers out & poisoning the air. Cars at least exhaust only at shin height away on the road, in a predictable direction. Smokers emit at face height, in any direction at any time. The street stank of smokers, not of car exhaust ! Shops close at 20:00. Walking there to eat at 20:30 may help, or use back streets with no shops & no mass of strolling public poisoners. Sad that poisoners deter non smoking spending power from walking past & maybe into shops. The dormant German economy needs all the boost it can get !
