This rustic, 450-seat bierhaus is home to Sydney’s best and most authentic Oktoberfest experience, lasting from Saturday 22nd September to Sunday 28th October. Live oompah music, on-stage challenges and wonderfully wacky performances are part of the restaurant’s exciting fantastic Oktoberfest line-up. Guests can sign up to become an Oktober Boss, proving their dedication to this renowned annual festival by taking five challenges: drinking a stein of each of the five Oktoberfest biers, eating a schnitzel, a pork knuckle and a pretzel, and drinking a schnapps. Those who tick off each challenge will achieve the ultimate Oktober Boss status and receive a limited-edition Oktoberfest t-shirt and an official stein to keep. On top of its activities, Munich Brauhaus offers three specials throughout the Oktoberfest celebrations. There is a 3-course menu ($45pp), a 4-course menu ($60pp) and a shared feast menu ($64pp).
