Fischer-Vroni: reservations, menu, pink party

basic information

The history

Established in 1914 by Karl Winter, Fischer-Vroni started out as a fish wholesaler and brought grilled fish on a stick to Oktoberfest, where it was an instant success. Karl rebuilt the company after World War II, and now his grandson Hans Stadtmüller Jr. operates the legendary tent. Moved to Theresienwiese in 1998, Fischer-Vroni now has 700 additional seats, remaining a must-stop Oktoberfest tradition.

Fischer-Vroni Speciality

 Its special offerings includes:

1. Grilled Fish on Display: The famous “fish on a stick” is prepared in front of guests on an open grill spanning 15 meters, offering a fresh and flavorful experience.

2. Live Music: The Markus Feierabend band, Münchner Musikanten, performs daily until 6 PM, followed by the popular Münchner Zwietracht band in the evenings, keeping the festive spirit alive.

3. Fun Finale: On the last Wiesn evening, roles are swapped—women wear lederhosen and men don dirndls—as the final beer is served, ending the festival with laughter and tradition.

Prosecco Monday

Prosecco Monday, or Gay Monday and Pink Party, occurs on the second Wiesn Monday. The event is attended by the Bavarian LGBTQ+ community as well as by traditional customers, making for an interesting atmosphere different from the common Fischer-Vroni crowd.
