A local would say...

A Chinese tower built in 1789, with a brass band on top and 7,000 beer-drinking Münchners below — Bavaria's most improbable summer institution.

Munich's best-known beer garden, located in the Englischer Garten around a five-story Chinese pagoda dating to 1789. An oompah band often plays traditional tunes on the upper level, while thousands of Münchners and visitors sip Maßkrüge below. One of the city's most beloved outdoor spaces.
