Oktoberfest at The Alcoves

Enjoy a taste of Bavaria in the heart of Sydney as Oktoberfest comes to The Alcoves from 21 September to 2 October.

A special German-inspired menu will be available for lunch and dinner, featuring favourites including chicken schnitzel, pork knuckle, pork and veal bratwurst, house-made spätzle, beef goulash soup and apple strudel.

On selected lunch dates, Fräulein Julie will roam through The Alcoves with her accordion, bringing plenty of Bavarian oompah spirit to the afternoon.

Live accordion music will feature at lunch on 23 and 24 September and 30 September and 1 October.

Set within the heritage-listed Castlereagh Boutique Hotel, The Alcoves provides an atmospheric Sydney CBD setting for German food, music and Oktoberfest cheer.
