Compare a kneipe or a biergarden with an english pub. Huge difference in tone. The Irish pubs you might find dotted around are more aimed at tourists/students/rich city workers, instead of the depressing hole where the locals come to forget themselves. I know it sounds like I'm gatekeeping here, but it just feels wildly different. It would be like you going to beergarden in London, to be greeted with patrons wearing lederhosen with the flag of bayern flying everywhere and everyone speaking in funny-sounding fake german accents. It's not accurate, the tone feels forced, and any actual germans passing through would likely feel compelled to stay away.
