I love Schwabing

The Keg Bar

With a cool international vibe, a half-hour period of free beer every night and a selection of Bavarian craft beers, what’s not to love about this sports bar? Most days the bar sees a full house and on quiz nights things can get a little wild. This is not the spot for a quiet tipple; come here if you want fun, friends, and drinks (lots of them).
