This place is a bit gimmicky, but although I’ve never been to the Oktoberfest I imagine it being a bit like this, only massively bigger with a vastly better atmosphere and a wider range of German beers. The staff were friendly, but not the quickest I’ve ever met although they all wore the Dirndl which fitted some better than others! Beyond the main bar area there is another room that houses a projector screen that was showing a live Bundesliga match and beyond this there was some sort of dining area where some catering tins were piled high after some function. There is also a garden advertised, but I did not check this out. This is the sort of place I could see a work party or group of people on a celebration going to rather than myself for a quick pint.
