Albert's Schloss London

Found in several UK cities, Albert's Schloss is a Bavarian pleasure palace concept where Oktoberfest lasts a year, not just a month.

The Alpine-inspired retreat features a ground-floor tavern where you try the Big Six, Munich's famed lagers such as Augustiner or Hofbräu, poured from the tap into a big stein. Fresh, unpasteurised Pilsner Urquell delivered weekly from Czechia is also available here.

Thought has been put into the food as well, not just the drinks, with the culinary offerings going beyond the sausage to provide an updated, contemporary taste of Bavarian cuisine. Starting with Alpine breakfast sandwiches and haus granola and carrying on with things like smoked bacon and Gruyère croquettes, classic wursts, schnitzels, and fondues, the food is as much a draw here as the drinks.

The same goes for the entertainment at Albert's Schloss, with live music and performances seven days a week, including DJ nights, cabaret shows, and live piano music. The various areas of the beer hall are also available for private hire, catering to different group sizes and occasions. All in all, Albert's Schloss provides an immersive trip to Munich that's proven to be a big hit for all the right reasons.
