Prater is a popular beer garden like the ones you find down south in Munich. On a summer's evening, it's packed outside - you can order food (sausages etc!) and beer outside - or you can also eat inside the restaurant and sit outside on the terrace and enjoy hearty German food, like Schnitzels! Great way to spend an evening and people-watch.
