Oktoberfest tent

Bavarian drinking hall

An Oktoberfest tent is one of the massive temporary beer halls erected for Munich's annual festival, each operated by a major brewery and holding thousands of revelers at long communal tables.

The tents feature live music, traditional Bavarian food, and server staff in dirndls and lederhosen.

By extension, the term applies to similar structures at Oktoberfest celebrations worldwide: We couldn't get a reservation in the Hofbräu tent.
