Want to celebrate Oktoberfest without purchasing those expensive plane tickets to Bavaria? We’ve got you covered! Head on down to Datz for some traditional style drafts and German Fare! You may even hear a German song or two!

The menu is prixe fixe and delicious. Creamy Beer Cheese Soup, Jager Schnitzel and Beer Poached apples. Lecker! (That means delicious in German.)

Datztoberfest prixe fixe menu

Jager Schnitzel and Beer Cheese soup! Oh my!

Just to get you into the spirit, here are 5 things you may not know about Oktoberfest:

  1. It was originally a celebration of the marriage of King Ludwig to Princess Therese.
  2. The party kicks off with the Mayor of Munich cracking open the first barrel and yelling, “O’zapft!”
  3. On average, 6 million people attend the festival each year.
  4. Approximately 7 million litres of beer, 80 thousand litres of wine, 32 thousand litres of sparkling wine, 220 litres of tea/coffee and 1 million litres of water/lemonade will be consumed over the course of the festival.
  5. Drunken patrons who pass out are referred to as “Bierleichen”, which is German for beer corpses.

So grab your lederhosen, come on down to Datz and austrinken (drink up)! But not too much, or we’ll call you a “Bierleichen” and then a cab!
