It’s an interesting conundrum for a restau-rateur. When your lively atmosphere andlong-term dedication to traditional Germancuisine has caused many folks to remarkthat “it’s always Oktoberfest” in your rol-licking beer hall, what do you do when itcomes time for the actual celebration ofOktoberfest? At the Chicago Brauhaus,you just take it out to the street and take itup another few notches.

That’s the way they’ve been runningtheir Bavarian blowout every autumn forthe past 47 years at this longtime fixture in the ethnically historic Lincoln Squareneighborhood. It’s not that the mouthwa-tering spaetzle and sauerbraten is all thatdifferent from any other time of the yearor that the traditional oompah band is anyless dedicated to turning diners intodancers – it’s just that during Oktoberfest,it seems like the whole city comes out tojoin arms under the tents and enjoy theparty. Running now through October 27.4732 N. Lincoln Avenue, 773.784.4444.

Oktoberfestin Chicago!When it comes to life at the legendary CHICAGO BRAUHAUS(4732 N. Lincoln, 773.784.4444),every day is Oktoberfest. From the steaming plates of sausages to the roaring oompah band andmassive steins of beer, a tradition-al German party is pretty muchwhat the place is all about. Even so, there’s still somethingextra special about fall, when theslight chill in the air, the colorfultent out front, and the more boisterous crowds help propel the annual “official” celebration of Oktoberfest to a whole new level—in part thanks to the copious amounts of Spaten Oktoberfest beer. Chicago Brauhaus Oktoberfest runs through October 27th, starting at 7pm nightly (except Mon. and Tues.) with music, dancing and even a yodeling contest with prizes!
