The Bavarian Coomera Opening

Overview

If you fancy getting into the swing of this year's Oktoberfest celebrations, The Bavarian certainly has you sorted. The group is expanding its stable of German-inspired bier halls, opening the doors to its latest venue at Westfield Coomera on the Gold Coast on Thursday, October 11. And to celebrate, they're handing out a whopping 500 free hotdogs from 11am.

The hot dogs are made using the Bavarian's signature frankfurter — wood-smoked pork and beef — topped with sauerkraut, tomato sauce and crisp shallots. Given the eatery is just as famous for its sausage offering as it is for its schnitzels and crispy pork knuckles, that's quite the deal.

The giveaway is a little taster of the new venue's full weekend program, which runs until Sunday, October 14. From 6pm on Friday, there'll be live oompah music, a sausage-eating competition, plus stein holding, chicken dancing, pork knuckle eating, non-alcoholic beer-chugging and sausage-tossing contests. Then the fun continues across Saturday, including the official keg tap at midday — while anyone who wants to bring littlies along can nab a free kids' menu meal for children under 12 on Sunday.

Of course, the German-style fun continues long after the final weekend keg is tapped, too — Bavarian Coomera will be dishing up authentic eats and icy cold steins, all year round.
