Fischer Vroni
One of the most comfortable tents at Oktoberfest, Fischer Vroni is the place to go to enjoy an authentic grilled “fish on a stick” along with a nice cold Augustiner beer. You can actually smell Fischer Vroni from about 100 meters away, its coastal scent letting you know you’re close. The tent seats a modest 2695 inside and another 700 outside, and you’ll find a steady older crowd along with a sprinkling of fish-loving Norwegians and Aussies.
Fischer Vroni first came to Oktoberfest in 1949 through the famous fish wholesaler Karl Winter. The fish preparation in itself is quite the experience: the fish are skewered on a stick, and grilled in a row that’s over 40 feet long. Regardless whether walleyed pike, white fish, or salmon trout…you’ll find the right fish if that’s what you got the munchies for.
Though dinner reservations are nearly impossible to obtain at Fischer Vroni, grabbing a seat during lunch on weekdays is generally doable. Be prepared though – you might come out smelling a bit fishy!
