Waldwirtschaft literary translates to Forest Inn. The beer garden with its 2,500 seats is located in Großhesselohe on a plateau overlooking the Isar valley. The beer garden, also known as WaWi, has regular jazz bands playing whenever the weather is good.

In 1995 the WaWi beer garden fought against a 9pm closing restriction requested by the Bavarian Administrative Court on behalf of local residents disturbed by the noise levels. The event led to the so-called Beer Garden Revolution at which 25,000 Munich residents took to the streets of Marientplatz to demonstrate for the preservation the Bavarian beer garden culture. A Bavarian Beer Garden Regulation was consequently established which applies to all traditional Bavarian beer gardens, ie. those where guests are permitted to bring their own meals while only buying drinks. The Waldwirtschaft beer garden is now permitted to play live music until 11pm.

Already by lunchtime on Sundays the beer garden is usually packed. A Maß Spaten Hell costs costs €7. The Franziskaner Weißbier costs €4 for half Maß. For those who bring their own food, the beer garden offers a barbecue station where steaks and sausages can be prepared by the guests themselves.
