Instead: coffee creations, cocktails, champagne
Oktoberfest 2026
House Specialty
Bodo's Cafézelt & Cocktail Bar has been a unique highlight at the Wiesn since 1993 — and the only tent at Oktoberfest that serves no beer. Instead, guests are treated to a colorful world of homemade pastry specialties, fine cocktails, prosecco, and champagne.
Founded by legendary master pastry chef Bodo E. Müller — affectionately known as "the doughnut king" — the colorful tent is now run by Otto Lindinger and has become a permanent fixture of Oktoberfest. During the day, it invites families and food lovers to a relaxed break from the Wiesn hustle — over a mug of coffee, the famous Kirsch doughnuts, and a wonderful selection of cakes and strudels. From late afternoon, the tent transforms into a lively cocktail bar with live music and party atmosphere.

Instead of beer, there's coffee, tea, champagne, prosecco, and a wide selection of cocktails and long drinks — the right thing for every taste and every time of day.
During the day, Bodo's Cafézelt invites guests to relax and enjoy with gentle background music — the perfect retreat for the whole family in the middle of the Wiesn buzz. From late afternoon, the colorfully decorated tent transforms into a lively party zone. Live bands such as Wadlbeisser, Saitensprung, Ois Easy, and Highlights create an electrifying atmosphere until closing time. Whether a cozy coffee afternoon or a wild cocktail night — Bodo's has the right vibe for everyone.
