The entire 10,000 square foot Biergarten will be featuring new Fall menu items, seasonal cocktails, limited edition draft beers, and sports on large screen televisions indoors and outdoors on the patio.
“The first weekend of concerts were very enjoyable for everyone that attended,” said Vince Crysler, CEO of Pilsener Haus & Biergarten. “The bands were great, and the weather was spectacular, so we’ve decided to add another live music weekend to the festivities. Some bands will return for a command performance, and we’ll also feature some new bands this time around. Sunday will be reserved for family entertainment to make sure people of all ages get in the Oktoberfest spirit.”
Oktoberfest is a 200-year-old Bavarian traditional festival of food and drink.
Pilsener Haus & Biergarten will be following all COVID-19 safety regulations during the outdoor festival. In order to comply with local guidelines, all guests will be socially distanced at least six feet apart, and all staff and servers will be wearing masks.
Pilsener Haus & Biergarten, located at 1422 Grand Street, is Hoboken’s first and only classic beer hall and features large open spaces spread out over more than 10,000 square feet of space filled with communal tables and a long bar along the wall in the main hall. More than 50 beers from around the world including Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic and Germany as well as many small-batch American brewers are featured for all kinds of beer preferences. Ales, porters, stouts and of course pilseners are accompanied by a menu of modern cocktails and wine for non-beer drinkers who still want to enjoy the festive environment.
A full menu of brasserie-style food is available and of course includes some beer hall staples including mussels, oversized pretzels, pickle jars, pierogies and various versions of smoked sausages. The restaurant presents live music on weekend evenings, and a full brunch selection on weekend days.
