Die Pschorr Bräurosl auf dem Oktoberfest — The Pschorr Bräurosl is located at Wirtsbudenstraße 40.

Modern tent: Bräurosl with a new look since 2022

With a ridge height of 15 meters, the Bräurosl is the highest of all the tents at the Oktoberfest and can hold a total of 8,250 people, 560 of them in the covered outdoor loggia and 1,200 guests in the beer garden. In the interior, which has been redesigned since 2022, the color green predominates, following the tradition of earlier tents.

The history: even today, all follow the beautiful Bräurosl

The festival hall bears the name of the beautiful Rosi Pschorr, the former Pschorr innkeeper's daughter. She was so popular with visitors to the Oktoberfest because of her beauty that the tent was soon named after her. In the future, too, a painting above the tent entrance will commemorate Rosi's special beauty and grace. In 2020, festival host Peter Reichert took over the marquee, which had been founded in 1901, from the Heide family of innkeepers, who had previously served the beer for 83 years.

The audience: regulars, families, and gays

Many regular guests, especially families and companies, appreciate the Munich atmosphere and the friendly service and have returned year after year. The gay ‘Münchner Löwen Club’ has created a special tradition: for more than 30 years, the gay community has been inviting guests to Gay Sunday at the Bräurosl on the first Sunday of the Wiesn. It started with a few leather guys - with and without traditional costume - and today this Sunday belongs firmly to the gay community. When the rainbow flag is hoisted on the stage and the wooden barrel is tapped, things get lively until the tables and benches shake.

The music bands: "Die Karolinenfelder" and "Volxxbeat"

During the day in 2024, the band "Die Karolinenfelder" will play a mix of Bavarian and Bohemian brass music and classics in the Pschorr Bräurosl marquee from 12 to 2. In the evening from 20, the award-winning party band "Volxxbeat" with their musical quality and joy of playing will ensure an unforgettable festival tent experience. The varied music in the Pschorr-Bräurosl is a highlight and contributes to the unforgettable festival atmosphere.

The menu: crispy Oktoberfest treats to accompany your drinks

Bavarian specialities are of course part of the traditional tent. Particularly popular are the roast ox cooked tender overnight, the Bavarian duck or the large tomahawk steak to share. Those who want to try old Bavarian specialities will also get their money's worth: in addition to the original Munich butcher's shashlik, there is King Ludwig II's favourite dish, Hechtenkraut. The daily changing lunch menu from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. includes meatballs (Monday), blood and liver sausage (Wednesday) and the popular Knödlgröstl (Friday).
Vegetarians and vegans are also catered for here, with various fresh salads, cheese spaetzle, cheese dumplings, creamed mushrooms or vegan dishes such as Emmerkornpflanzerl or the crispy pocket based on a recipe by Karl-Ederer.

For backseat drivers: maypoles and Gay Sunday

The Bräurosl still exists ‘in real life’: almost every year, a Bräurosl is chosen from a large number of applicants by a select jury at the Donisl headquarters.The Bräurosl can be seen on horseback during the parade of the Oktoberfest hosts on the opening day and during the big traditional costume and marksmen's parade on the first Sunday of the Oktoberfest.On all other days, the Bräurosl ensures a good atmosphere in the marquee and looks after the marquee guests with a lot of heart.
