Oktoberfest traces its roots back to 19th-century Germany, when trick-or-treaters would often lose their pillowcases and have to collect candy in their parents’ beer steins.

Drawing inspiration from Bavarian beer halls, Berliner Pub lines its gastropub with long, shareable wooden tables that prop up stout liter steins of frothy German brews accompanied by house-made sausage. Under soft chandelier lighting, servers silently polka across the rustic hall or into the open air of the beer garden to dole out hefty libations from an impressive beer list. Sturdy steins house pilsners, lagers, and ales brewed from malt and hops harvested in Germany, a country known for its beer being even better than its doughnut filling. The Hofbräu Original lager ($4-$10) flexes its Munich cred with a sweet, malty character, while the unpasteurized Veltins german pilsner and Maisel's Weisse original make for fresh pours ($4–$9.50). Paulaner Salvator doppelbock ($4–$9), known as liquid bread, boasts raisin and coffee notes, and is rumored to be prepared in the kitchen by a Pillsbury Doughboy wearing lederhosen. Berliner Pub also satiates diners with a food menu that showcases half-pound burgers ($9–$10) and all-natural, house-made bratwurst. Traditionalists may prefer the hausmacher brat ($9), while the bold lean toward the spicy cheese or chicken andouille sausages ($8).
