Hofbräu Festzelt
Click here to see where Hofbrau is situated on the Oktoberfest grounds.
Craziness. Pure craziness. Get ready for good times when you go into the Hofbräu-Festzelt. Much like it sister establishment, the Hofbräuhaus in nearby Marienplatz. In fact, if you're ever in Munich and you want a little taste of what Wiesn is all about, we recommend you sampled the world famous Hofbräuhaus!
Hofbräu has a reputation for attracting all the foreigners. If its Aussies and Italians you're seeking, head to Hofbräu! The beer is amazing, the environment is pretty chill and it's the only beer tent at Oktoberfest that will serve you a cold beer without being seated! That's right---Hofbräu has standing tables where you can order from waitresses. If you dare look under the table, however, you might get a little grossed out. Broken glasses, cigarette butts, puke and left over pieces of random German meet might be a few of the things you'll discover. Click here for a photo.
Either way, you're going to have a great time at Hofbräu. Get here early or come late. It's usually pretty packed on the weekends starting at around 11:00 a.m. We're always able to sneak in for last call or a beer or two before without too much of a problem. The problem with all the foreigners is that many cannot handle their beer. This not only results in bad behavior, but it also ends up with a less than full tent by the time it shuts down....sometimes!
