Society Manchester is raising a stein this September, as the city centre food and drink destination will transform into a Bavarian-inspired celebration for Oktoberfest, bringing a taste of Munich to Manchester with plenty of beer, independent food trader specials and live performances from The Bavarian Trumps.
With the Oktoberfest festivities taking place on 24th September, guests can grab a table for just a £10 deposit, which includes a stein of one of Society’s exclusive Oktoberfest specials. Served for one night only is a choice of six of Munich’s official Oktoberfest breweries on draft: Augustiner, Paulaner, Hacker-Pschorr, Hofbräu, Löwenbräu and Spaten. Get the group together, dig into the Oktoberfest specials, dress to impress and raise a stein (or two) to the celebrations.
And it wouldn’t be Oktoberfest without a proper party! The Bavarian Trumps, the ultimate Bavarian-themed party band, will be bringing the oompah beats, booming brass and plenty of German spirit to Society. Expect everything from classic Bavarian tunes to pop favourites with a German twist, creating the ultimate beer-hall atmosphere as the celebrations get into full swing.
Guests are encouraged to arrive hungry, as Society’s independent traders will be putting their own spin on Oktoberfest classics, transporting diners straight to the Bavarian beer halls of Munich.
The limited-edition specials, created exclusively for the celebrations, include:
Pan-Asian pros Manzoku will be serving up slow-cooked currywurst with fries, and a unique bratwurst bao dog with mustard mayo and in-house yuzu sauerkraut.
Bun and patty champs Slap & Pickle will be slinging out their pretzel burger special, with two signature smashed beef patties, smoked cheese, onions, all finished up with curry ketchup, lettuce and sauerkraut.
Korean fried chicken perfectionists Yoki Social Table will be mixing up their legendary “KFC” with a German crispy chicken schnitzel, dished up with a side of fluffy rice and fresh, crisp salad.
The dough masters at Noi Quattro are putting a Bavarian spin on their Neapolitan classics with their slow-cooked pork and fennel sausage ragu, made with Italian-brewed lager and plenty of parmesan.
Finally, the Mexican maestros at El Piloto will be taking punters on a culinary journey to Bavaria with loaded currywurst hash browns, topped with their homemade pink pickles and a crispy pretzel crumb.
Fancy dress is encouraged, although not essential, and there’ll also be a prize for the best dressed.
With Society’s extensive drinks offering and five independent food traders all under one roof, the venue provides a one-stop destination for an Oktoberfest celebration in the heart of Manchester.
