Get ready to raise a stein at Chicago's biggest Oktoberfest — right in the heart of Fulton Market. We're pouring official Hofbräu München brews straight from Germany, serving up giant pretzels and juicy brats, and packing in non-stop Oktoberfest energy. Throw on your dirndl or lederhosen (or snag one on-site), then dive into stein-holding contests, carnival games, Oompah bands, and DJs.
Why We Like It
- Beer Exclusively from Hofbräu München The legendary Munich brewery behind the official Oktoberfest—Prost to the real deal. This isn't just some themed brew. It's actual Hofbräu München beer, brewed in Munich, shipped straight to us, and poured by the liter. If you know, you know.
- Brats, Bites & Bavarian Vibes Jumbo pretzels, grilled bratwursts, classic sausages, and enough snackable bites to fuel your next round. Yes, it's all made to pair perfectly with whatever's in your stein.
- Straight from Munich: A Live German Band Experience Grab a stein and hit the Hofbräu Stage for nonstop music, dancing, and next-level Oktoberfest vibes. This legit oompah band is flying in straight from Munich's iconic Hofbräu München to turn Fulton Market into the ultimate Bavarian beer hall. Think pounding drums, wild toasts, and the kind of Oktoberfest energy you usually have to cross an ocean for.
