Räuber-Kneißl-Garten is located behind the Maisach brewery in the town of Maisach, 25km from the centre of Munich.

This small and charming beer garden is well shaded under large chestnut trees and a few sun-umbrellas. The fixed-to-the-ground tables offers about 350 seats. Small old fashioned street lights provide a cosy atmosphere during warm summer nights.

The current leasholder and head chef, Harry Faul, has managed the beer garden and restaurant since 2007 and offers visitors a quality selection Bavarian specialties, including spare ribs, Hendl (grilled chicken) and Obatz (Bavarian cheese specialty).

The name "Räuber Kneißl" refers to a bandit named Mathias Kneißl who was born in the area 1875. Mr Kneißl became famous for having caused the largest manhunt in Bavarian history, often mocking the police while elegantly evading capture on his bicycle. Mr Kneißl was eventually captured and sentenced to death. His last request prior to going under the guillutine a wise decision - six maß of beer!

The Räuber Kneißl Dunkel (dark lager) named in memory of the infamous bandit is brewed according to an original and ancient recipe of the Maisach brewery. A maß Dunkel or Helles costs EUR 5.90 in the beer garden.

A small stage offer music events, such as Jazz or traditional Bavarian bands. Enquire at the number listed below for up-and-coming events.

A small Räuber Kneißl museum below the restaurant building includes various artefacts and memorebilia from the former times.
