Fischer-Vroni
Augustiner
Fischer-Vroni is one of the smaller large tents at Oktoberfest 2026, seating 3,162 indoors plus 700 in the beer garden. It serves Augustiner beer at around €14.50 per Maß. The defining feature is the food: Steckerlfisch — whole mackerel grilled on a wooden stick over a charcoal trough that runs along the length of the tent. It is the only Oktoberfest tent built around a fish menu rather than the standard Hendl-Schweinshaxe canon. Reservations include two Maß plus a meal voucher.

How to Book
Book NowWhat it's actually like
Fischer-Vroni is the locals' alternative for the Augustiner-leaning crowd that does not want to fight for an Augustiner-Festhalle reservation. It pours the same Augustiner beer at the same prices, runs at half the size (3,862 vs 8,500 seats), and has its own clear identity: Steckerlfisch — mackerel, char, or trout grilled whole on a wooden stick over a long open-charcoal trough that runs through the tent. The smell of fish grilling is part of the experience. Atmosphere is genuinely traditional, more relaxed than the mega-tents, and the crowd is older and more local than tourist. If you want Augustiner beer and have not landed a Festhalle reservation, Fischer-Vroni is the answer. If you don't like fish, the standard Hendl is still on the menu but you are missing the point — the rest of the tent is eating Steckerlfisch.

Frequently asked questions
What is Steckerlfisch and why is Fischer-Vroni famous for it?▼
Steckerlfisch — literally "fish on a stick" — is a Bavarian speciality of whole mackerel, char, or trout grilled on a wooden stick over open charcoal. Fischer-Vroni has the largest indoor Steckerlfisch grill at Oktoberfest, a long charcoal trough that runs through the tent, and is the only Oktoberfest tent built around fish as the signature menu rather than Hendl or Schweinshaxe.
Is Fischer-Vroni an Augustiner tent?▼
Yes — Fischer-Vroni serves Augustiner Edelstoff at around €14.50 per Maß, the same beer at the same price as the Augustiner-Festhalle. Many locals book Fischer-Vroni specifically when they cannot land an Augustiner-Festhalle reservation.
How much does a Fischer-Vroni reservation cost?▼
A table of 10 costs roughly €350–€520 per session. Augustiner beer is around €14.50 per Maß. Each guest receives two Maß plus a food voucher.
Can I get into Fischer-Vroni without a reservation?▼
The 700-seat beer garden is first-come, first-served, but Fischer-Vroni is small enough (3,862 total seats) that it fills up faster than the mega-tents. Arrive before 11:00 on weekends or before 12:00 on weekdays.
Is Fischer-Vroni good for vegetarians?▼
Limited. The tent's identity is built around grilled fish, and the rest of the menu is standard Bavarian (Hendl, Obatzda). Vegetarians will find Augustiner-Festhalle or Marstall more comfortable.
How do I book Fischer-Vroni for 2026?▼
Reservations open in January at reservierung.fischer-vroni.de. Weekend evenings sell out within weeks; weekday lunch slots are easier to land than Augustiner-Festhalle equivalents.
