📋 Tender Overview
November 18, 2025
Our Bavarian taverns are much more than just places to eat and drink - they are pulsating meeting places full of warmth, music and a lived home, where you can experience the genuine Bavarian attitude to life while having a hearty chat. The Bavarian tavern culture stands for living tradition, connects people through music and gives joy in being together. The Musician-friendly tavern award honors precisely this special combination of hospitality and music that Bavaria has always had shapes generations. Our Bavarian pub music brings people together, creates lasting memories and makes Bavaria what it is: a home full of heart, joy of life and Bavarian cosiness! In order to preserve and maintain this valuable tradition, the Musician-Friendly Wirtshaus project was launched 29 years ago. Well over 500 Bavarian inns have received the award since then - this year a further 26 innkeepers from all over Bavaria will be joining them! , said Finance and Home Affairs Minister Albert Furacker happily at the presentation of the Musician-Friendly Inn award on Tuesday (November 18th) in Tapfheim. Music in the tavern creates a feeling of belonging and strengthens cohesion in our society. It is an indispensable part of our culture, which shapes our identity and reflects the soul of Bavaria. It tells stories, preserves our values and connects generations with one another. May God bless the innkeepers who have been honored today. They combine the excellent quality of the Bavarian taverns with local musical traditions! My thanks also go to the Musician-Friendly Inn working group for its long-standing commitment!, says Furacker.The award-winning inns receive a plaque that signals to visitors that spontaneous, unannounced singing and playing music for their own pleasure and for the entertainment of their guests is not only possible, but also desirable. In return, the inn provides snacks and drinks for the musicians. The Musician-Friendly Inn project was launched in 1996 by the districts of Upper Palatinate and Lower Bavaria, the Bavarian State Association for Homeland Care. V. and the Bavarian Hotel and Restaurant Association DEHOGA Bayern e. V. was founded and now covers all Bavarian districts. Since then, well over 500 pubs from all Bavarian districts have received the award. Since 2019, the award has also been supported by the Bavarian Ministry of Homeland Affairs.
