Schottenhammel has the most hot women in Dirndls. I do like that, but maybe that's just me.
Here's a few pics from previous years mayhem: one, two, three
So which tents are the favourites of other people?

Favourite Oktoberfest tents
Opinions on which one is the best
Must say I'm a fan of the Hacker. I think the best beer is to be had in the Augustiner, but the atmosphere isn't as good in there.
Schottenhammel would be my first pick too, and lucky I have two nights of party invites in there
Why would it be different this year?
Augustiner and Löwenbräu make 2nd and 3rd place; at both tents I've seen the band encouraging young ladies to come onstage, and "cool off" - not too hard on the eyes.
Hofbräu would top the worst tent to go to. Sloppy, belligerent tourists...

Hi Randy,
Only different for me because for the first time I'm not living properly in Munich since I started going to Oktoberfest and also because I'm not making a beeline straight for Schottenhammel on day one.

Oktoberfest. I love it! It is great atmosphere and heaps of fun.
i mostly go there two or three times with friends and once with the company. (This year we gonna be in Käfer's! with the company)
Hofbräu tent is known as the fighting tent (many Aussies and Kiwis are there apparently, but thats only what is said, all in one it is the most english speaking tent)
Löwenbräu is known as the 60er Fan (Soccer team 1860-Die Löwen)
Augustiner is more for the older ppl
Käfer is for the gourmets and very rich ppl
I love the Schottenhammel and the HP Bräurosl (Bräurosl is a tiny bit smaller and more traditional, they play a lot of bavarian songs only locals know)

Schottenhammel tent is the best...bar none. If you can find a table, which could take 34 years. That's all I can write right now...It's Friday and I gotta work.
I agree on the Schottenhammel, for me its 2nd best after the "Pig Pen" (standing area) in the Hofbräu tent. But I only like that to catch up with the other kiwis. Schottenhammel is the best for talking to cute local girls in their dirndls.. The square tables there work better for conversation too.
being over five foot in hieght i find the small tables in Schottenhamel really uncomfortable. but it is a tent often frquented by locals and has a less tourist atmosphere. if you want real one to one conversation go to the nymphemburger wein zelt, where if you've had enough of helles you can neck a few weissbiers. käfer is a laugh too and somehow less riotous as hippodrome. as for getting seats, well that can be a bloody nightmare, epecialy when it's poor weather and you're unable to sit outside.
i always get asked which one is the best, and in my opinion it is hard to tell.
I prefer the Bräurosl as there is always a good party and it still very traditional, unlike the Hofbräu... but thats just my opinion.
Of course there is also Winzerer Fähndl and Armbrustschützenenzelt, but that was too much for the poll.

Pity there isn't a "I don't care which tent as long as they serve me and I don't get into a fight" option.
Schottenhammel wins by a country mile
youngest average age and is easily the best
roast chicken tastes good there too but who gives a f**k about that

Schottenhamel - Pure Tradition
The Schottenhammel is one of the most important tents of the Wiesn, as everything starts inside this tent.
On the opening day of the Wiesn, at 12 pm on the dot, the mayor of Munich, Christian Ude will tap the first keg and call out “O’zapft is!� confirming that the tapping was successful. It is only after this that all other tents may begin to serve beer.
It’s hard to believe that the Schottenhamel tent, which in 1867 was just a small beer booth with 50 seats, has become the largest Wiesn tent with circa 10,000 seats. The Schottenhamel is the favorite hunting ground for Munich’s young people who meet there to drink and party.

I agree...Schottenhamel is by far the best tent.
Lifted from Oktoberfest.de - Braeurosl:
True Wiesn tradition
The Heide family has solidly managed the tent "Braeurosl" for seven generations. The name of the tent originates from the daughter of the brewery owner Pschorr.
Entertainment is of great importance in this tent: a tent-own yodeler, who answers to the name “Bräurosl� during the Wiesn (in honor of Rosi Pschorr), ensures a good atmosphere and traditional Bavarian songs. But that’s not all! Because when “Bräurosl� goes on break, the Luwig Thoma-Musicians take up the beat and pump up the heat.
Last but not least, the South Tirol Spitzbuam (musicians) perform daily during lunchtime, and 6 - 7pm.

Schottenhamel is pretty good, but Hofbräu JUST beats it, due to it having the Pig Pen and me being able to find lots of other Kiwis there. Schottenhammel is a VERY close 2nd though.. Actually from the 2nd week onwards, once all the kiwis have run out of steam, Schottenhammel is the best.
