The GOODS from Bestie

Vancouver, BC | In 1810 that sly dog Crown Prince Ludwig got hitched to a spicy dame by the name of Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen (who almost married Napoleon). The citizens of Munich were invited to attend the big ol’ party they threw on the front lawn of the the city gates to celebrate. In the 204 years since, Munich’s Oktoberfest has become arguably the world’s most impressive festival that celebrates both drinking and Bavarian agriculture.

From now until Sunday we’re continuing the tradition of celebrating the harvest season by serving up Oktoberfest platters each evening starting at 5pm. Each platter includes a giant bratwurst, braised red cabbage, fancy potato salad, soft pretzel, mustard gravy, and a 24 oz. stein of Coal Harbour Brewing’s Munich Lager for $20 plus tax.

As usual, no tickets or reservations required. Just come on down to Pender Street and say “I want a giant sausage in my mouth.” We’ll do the rest.
