Hippodrome Reservations

We have the opportunity to make reservations in the Hippodrome tent for Monday for what they call their "Hippo Happy Hour" We would have a reserved table from 3:30-6:30. At 6:30 we would have to vacate the table, and hopefully could find another table. Since they only will take reservations for 6, 8 or 10 persons, we would have to reserve and pay for 8 people ahead of time. The cost is 30 euros per person at the time of the reservation. That includes some radishes, cheese and bread, and goes toward a minimum beer consumption. There is no actual cost for the reservation itself. The only other reservations that I can find are lunch on Sunday or Monday. If we want to take the reservation, we will have to act really soon. So we need to take a vote and decide.

So post your vote, yeah or nay?

I vote yes. Hell yes! Having a table lat ein the day at Oktoberfest is a good opportunity. It all applies to food and drink.

Chugger said...

Yeah.

Barbus said...

I have been to Oktoberfest a few times but never with reservations. We have a table for opening Sunday at the Hippodrome, but we have an extra 1 person now. Do you know if we will be able to get them in?

BarleyMan said...

Probably,

Otherwise, they will have to wait in line to get in, and I think they can schmooze up to your reserved table.
