This week’s Oktoberfest tent is Ochsenbraterei, which offers visitors to Munich’s massive festival a great atmosphere and plenty of partying. The huge hall is easily identifiable along the Wirtsbudenstrabe it’s the one with the giant rotisserie ox on top. THe Ochsenbraterei features Spaten beer and you guessed it the menu has plenty of ox on it, and the cooking alone is quite a spectacle. With the huge rotisserie machine last year 104 giant beasts were cooked up for the hungry visitors, being transformed into soup, roasts, grills and goulash to name a few specialties. The Ochsenbraterei is one of the festival’s most popular tents and has been a big draw card ever since 1881. Today 5900 can be seated inside and another 1500 outside making it one of the largest tents at Oktoberfest, but with all the seating doesn’t mean you will be able to get in and have a beer or some beef, you are best to book a spot to avoid any disappointment.

oktoberfest.deVisit the tent’s websites or go to the official Oktoberfest site http://www.oktoberfest.de for details, many you can book online others you need to fill out a form or give them a call. Remember Oktoberfest isn’t too far away and tents are starting to fill up. When the tents are full it is DIFFICULT TO GET A DRINK anywhere outside a tent. There are only a few small bar type areas which are open to the public for purchasing beer. Just about every drop is served from inside a tent or in their beer garden. Goodluck and have a beer for us!
