It's That Time! Raise Your Stein!
As we reported last week in Dis ‘n Dat, every weekend in October, Brigit & Bernard’s Garden Cafe presents a wonderful Oktoberfest tribute. It’s the closest you can get to the annual Munich based festival of beer, brats, lederhosen, and drindl without leaving the island!
Every Friday/Saturday in October, special OktoberFest Beer, all-you-can-eat buffet replete with schnitzel, wursten, leberkase, sauerkraut, rotkohl, kartoffeln and other such tongue twisting specialties that are oh-so-ono this time of year, are rolled out along with a real, live Oohmpah band, “The Dorfmusikanten.” Get your best Chicken Dance on and enjoy some knee-slapping fun that will have you yodeling before the night is over. Only $38 for all you can eat and entertainment.
WCM Staffers have attended two years running and, having actually lived in Germany and dined often in Milwaukee, we can say with some authority it is the real deal, Mein Schatz. Save room for Apfelstrudel! Schmecht lecker!
Reservations recommended. Call 877-6000. Brigit & Bernard’s, 335 Ho‘ohana St., Kahului.
Jumping on the Blasmusik Bandwagon, Cafe Marc Aurel is hosting a one-night only Oktoberfest which is sure to be great fun.
