Tent #11: Bräurosl

“Entertainment is of great importance in this tent: a tent-own yodeler, who answers to the name “Bräurosl” during the Wiesn (in honor of Rosi Pschorr), ensures a good atmosphere and traditional Bavarian songs. But that’s not all! Because when “Bräurosl” goes on break, the Luwig Thoma-Musicians take up the beat and pump up the heat.”

Tent #14: Fischer Vroni

“You can enjoy an authentic grilled “fish on a stick” in one of the most comfortable tents at the Oktoberfest. Even the fish preparation is an experience: the fish are skewered on a stick, and grilled in a 15-meter long row. Regardless whether walleyed pike, white fish, or salmon trout…. Your fish wishes will not go unanswered.”
