The Buergerbräukeller was an inn cellar in Munich, Germany, by 1923 one of the preferred gathering saloons of the NSDAP, or Nazi Party.

It was one of the large beer halls of the Buergerliches Brauhaus public limited company.. It was from there that Adolf Hitler marched to the Feldherrnhalle during his 1923 Beer Hall Putsch.

After 1933, Hitler used to deliver a speech before participants of that putsch every November 8. On November 8, 1939, he barely escaped an attempt on his life. Seven people were killed and 63 injured, but Hitler escaped unharmed, because he had left the gathering a few minutes earlier than planned. The would-be assassin Georg Elser was executed in the Dachau concentration camp on April 9, 1945.

The cellar was severely damaged during the attempt and never reconstructed since. It was located in Rosenheim Street in the city section of Haidhausen, roughly between today's Gasteig Culture Centre and the Hotel City Hilton. Today a memorial plaque dedicated to Georg Elser can be found there.
