Thursday, September 10, 2026, 11:00 PM - 2:00 AM · Reichenbach Hall, Midtown, New York City
Reichenbach Hall hosts a Hofbräu Masskrugstemmen (stein-holding) competition with men's and women's divisions. Entry is $10 and includes a 0.5L Hofbräu, with the winner advancing to compete for a trip to Germany.
Wooden communal tables, two-handed steins, and a Schweinshaxe the size of your forearm. One of NYC’s biggest bierhalles running the full Bavarian program without apology. The Brotzeit platter keeps the table busy while the liters disappear, and the shotski ceremonies are less optional than advertised. Order in German or don’t; either way, you’re staying longer than planned.
