BUFFALO, N.Y. — Set to open this Labor Day is a world-famous Bavarian-style beer hall in Buffalo's Cobblestone District.

Modeled after the original in Munich, Germany, Buffalo's Hofbräuhaus franchise will be the eighth U.S. location and will seat 700 people inside at communal tables and outside in the beer garden.

"When you come into Hofbräuhaus in Buffalo, it's going to be just like Oktoberfest every single day," said Hofbräuhaus Buffalo General Manager Rob Rush. "We're turning our whole parking area and upper deck outside into an outside dining and beer garden."

Video of the inside can't be shown yet, but just arrived from Austria are the tanks that will brew 13 different lagers using ingredients from Germany, and will be held to Hofbräuhaus standards. The beer will go right from tank to tap, but only five of the 13 beers will be on tap at a time. The menu will include some Buffalo favorites but will consist mainly of German staples, including baked fresh daily Bavarian style pretzels.

"Live German bands every night, German food and German beer, brewed in the German traditional way," Rush said. "The biggest thing is the vibe that's going to be at the Hofbräuhaus and the amount of fun and people prosting, standing on the benches having a good time, singing along with the bands and just having a great time."

Hofbräuhaus Buffalo will be open 365 days a year, opening just in time for Oktoberfest celebrations and says it will be a destination for soccer fans as well.

They're looking to hire 125 workers—lederhosen and dirndls provided.
