Bierhaus
Bierhaus is the place to be for a classic Oktoberfest experience. Basically NYC’s most legit Bavarian hub, it’s the only German bar in the city to be directly affiliated with the famous Hofbräuhaus in Munich, Germany. From their biggest beer belly contest, to lederhosen looks and German feasts, you’re guaranteed plenty of fun.
