Ratskeller
Another place we visited several times during our stay in Munich, the Ratskeller. ‘Rats’ (pronounced like rah-ts as in ‘rah-rah-) stands for advice, and ‘Keller’ for cellar. It used to be a place were citizens gather to discuss political and local affairs, i.e. a townhall, though now it primarily is a restaurant and tourist attraction. Located at the Marienplatz, essentially underneath the Glockenspiel church, it has quite a layout. After you walk down the stairs (not the ones in this photo), you pass through a hallway like section which has booths on either side with dining tables for parties of 6 or less. Then it forks into several sections, each having a different setting. This photo shows a more formal dining area, and another entrance.

Talking about light, there’s something odd about this photo. Been curious if someone will notice.
