Willkommen Freunde und Nachbarn!
For nearly four generations, The Bavarian Inn was proud to host weddings, blood drives, bake sales, Milwaukee's original Oktoberfest, Munich New Years and other community events as diverse as the remarkable patchwork of nationalities that give Milwaukee its unique charm. Nestled in Old Heidelberg Park, our roots are in the 1920’s when the German Clubs of Milwaukee leased land on North Port Washington Road. The park, soccer fields, and clubhouse were finally complete in 1967. Since then, the site has been host to Milwaukee’s biggest – by far – and most authentic Oktoberfest and is the home of Milwaukee’s world-renowned Bavarian Soccer Club. In 2016 the Bavarian Bierhaus re-opened the space once occupied by the Bavarian Inn. It features a bierhall, a 15 bbl brewery, and multiple indoor and outdoor event spaces just outside old Heidelberg Park, Milwaukee's Oldest and Largest Biergarden. Milwaukee's Original Oktoberfest at the Bavarian Bierhaus in Old Heidelberg Park has been celebrating the last 60+ years of great music, great bier, great food and great weather and runs every THURSDAY-SUNDAY in September. The Bierhaus will continue the tradition of being home to diverse regional events and festivals. We welcome you, and invite you to support your friends, neighbors and community. Stay up to date on our website, follow us on Facebook, and download our Bavarian Bierhaus Mobile App from the Apple App store or Google Play store for special offers, to sign up for a stein club and for upcoming events and promotions. PROST!
