Celebrating with mates? Round up a gang of four and opt for a signature experience which will get you a beer tower and a sharing pan. For a little friendly-competition, participate in the Stein-Holding Competition. Fun fact: the world record is 23 minutes, 40 seconds.

Else, you can opt for the authentic Bavarian experience which includes traditional Bavarian dishes (a la carte) and a range of beverages.

But the fun vibes go beyond the delicious dishes. To keep you and your loved ones company, there will be a lively atmosphere with live music that will have you swaying in your chairs.

On the weekend, you can enjoy a hearty Saturday brunch and a Sunday roast with dishes like lamb shank, pork belly roast, whole roasted chicken, sausages, and apple strudel, along with an a la carte menu of comforting Bavarian classics. Bruch packages start from Dhs300 and a la carte prices vary.
