• This place has two names, and you'll find both in the phone book. Go with Schießstätte (SHEE-State-Uh) because at least it's shorter. Königlich Bayerische Biergarten alludes to the royal roots of the shooting club that sponsors the beer garden as more or less a side business. Schießstätte is derived from "schießen" which means "to shoot" in German.(Be careful to pronounce it properly with the long "eeee". If you pronounce it as though it were "eye" people will laugh at you.)"The club is still active, although entry is by invitation only. The beer garden is open to all. It has plenty of shade and fixed wooden tables which are always an indication of a genuine Bavarian beer garden with a lot of tradition. The Beer Drinker's Guide to Munich recommends a secret backdoor shortcut (extremely convenient and accessible from the Mittersendling S-Bahn stop) to get to Schießstätte. The beer garden by either name gets 4 beers.
