How It Started

How It Started

Old Munich Tavern & Grill was established in 1978 as a small, cozy bar in Wheeling where locals could come for a cold beer and a hearty meal. Since then we have added a full-length bar, clustered tables and video gaming, and we have never lost sight of our roots.

The Biergarten

The Biergarten

When the weather cooperates the whole thing moves outside. A covered Biergarten, open-air seating and a full set of cornhole boards.

Why the Regulars Stay

Why the Regulars Stay

It is not just the food that keeps our regulars coming back, it is the atmosphere. Maybe it is the nostalgia of days gone by, maybe it is the way you leave feeling warmer than you came in.
