Oktoberfest

Short North Pint House is hosting an Oktoberfest celebration running through mid-September, with German-themed food and drinks available throughout the week. Families can sample seasonal beers, enjoy appetizers like pretzel samplers and crispy Reuben balls, and try bratwurst options including a jalapeño cheddar variety. Select drafts are offered at a discounted price all week long. The festivities reach their peak on Friday evening, when the venue hosts a live polka band performance along with interactive contests—including a bratwurst-eating competition and stein-holding challenge. Participants have chances to win cash and prizes. This is a casual, food-and-drink-focused event perfect for families looking to experience traditional Oktoberfest traditions in a local setting.
