Frommer's Review
Renowned for celebrating Oktoberfest every day for getting on 30 years, this is the place to watch Aussies let their hair down. Come for lunch and munch a club sandwich or focaccia in the glassed-off atrium while watching the daytime action of The Rocks. For a livelier scene, head here on Friday or Saturday night, when mass beer-sculling (chugging) and yodeling are accompanied by a brass band, and costumed waitresses ferry foaming beer steins about the atmospheric, cellarlike space. Options include hearty southern German and Austrian fare and several varieties of German beers in bottle or on draft (tap). There's a good wine list, and, surprisingly, vegetarians have a few choices, too. A good bargain is the lunchtime special, for just A$12 (US$9.60/UK£4.80). Monday it's salad with grilled chicken, on Tuesday currywurst with french fries, Wednesday goulash with mashed potato, and Thursday pork knuckle with potato salad. Try a good Bavarian beer during the daily happy hour, between 11:30am and 12:30pm, and again from 5pm to 7:30pm.
