Munich Brauhaus Brisbane Oktoberfest Street Party

Overview

It's been over a year since Munich Brauhaus opened at South Bank, and the two-level Bavarian bierhaus doesn't shy away from a party. Come Saturday, September 21 and Sunday, September 22, the brews, bratwurst and butter-filled pretzels will be flowing on Stanley Street — and so will a huge Oktoberfest shindig.

From 11am on Saturday, it'll be a day full of German-themed fun. The whole joint will be swept up in the Oktoberfest excitement, with a street parade weaving its way around the parklands from 1pm. Expect traditional slap dancers, live music, yodelling, stein-holding challenges and a hot dog-eating contest, too, as well as not one, not two, but three ceremonial keg taps.

Prefer to head by on Sunday? There's no parade that day, but the party will still be underway, complete with games, challenges, beers and food.

If you want to match your merriment with a feast, there'll also be two three-course set-menu options available — one for $79, which includes Bavarian dishes, a one-litre stein of beer and a schnapps shot, plus a limited-edition Oktoberfest showbag; and another for $45 that goes heavy on shredded sausage salad, corned beef brisket with new potatoes, and a dessert made from smashed pancakes, butterscotch and almonds.

And, when the weekend revelry comes to an end, Oktoberfest will still be making its presence known at Brauhaus until Sunday, October 27.
