More than 50,000 revellers are expected to take a seat in the open-plan wooden beer hall and be served by the expert Bavarian hostesses, wearing traditional dirndl dresses, who can carry up to 10 steins of beer at a time. Children are welcome on Sundays for Sunday lunch, otherwise it's an adults only affair. And, in case you are wondering, you can rent lederhosen and dirndl to dress up when you arrive.
