Oktoberfest in Manila: Where to Eat + Drink Your Heart Out This 2023
Did somebody say unlimited beer + sausages?
(SPOT.ph) October isn't just for Halloween. Over in Germany, it's also the time for Oktoberfest—the annual German event first held in 1810 to celebrate the marriage of King Louis I (then the crown prince of Bavaria) to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. To this day, the festival, also called Wies’n, is still held annually in Munich, often with live music, dancing, and of course, lavish amounts of food and beer—all great stuff that sounds right up our alley! Looking to dip your toes into the Oktoberfest fun sans the need for a plane ticket? These restaurants and hotels have you covered. Prost!

Solaire x German Club Manila
Solaire's joining forces with the German Club Manila for their Oktoberfest 2023 celebration taking place on October 13 and 14. Come hungry as you can guzzle down as much German beer (they've got up to 25,000 liters of Weihenstephan wheat beer and Oktoberfest beer on board) and munch on as much homemade German sausages as you can at the event, which is expected to house up to 4,000 attendees over the said two days. They'll be flying in the Bavarian Sound Express—a famed band from Munich—to perform at the event; expect German beer benches, dances, and games, too.
Solaire Resorts and Casino is at 1 Asean Avenue, Entertainment City, Tambo, Paranaque City. For reservations, visit the Oktoberfest PH website.
