Kaiser Wilhelm
A short, standard but solid menu in a friendly "Wirtshaus" environment; daily promotional offerings. As the image on the outside shows, this venue isn't named after the Wilhelm II of World War I fame but his grandfather, Wilhelm I who was Prussian King and then German Emperor until 1888. The square along which it sits (Lorlebergplatz) used to have a monument to Kaiser Wilhelm before it was melted down to pay for ammunition in World War I, hence the name.

Murphy's law (Irish pub)
This Irish pub at Lorlebergplatz also offers a selection of dishes in the evening (try the great chicken and mushroom pie); furthermore, they sometimes have live music. It is very popular amongst students and the working crowd, especially on weekends.
