I'm planning to go to this place: <a href="http://www.alpinevillage.net/oktoberfest.htm">http://www.alpinevillage.net/oktoberfest.htm</a>





Have you guys/gals been there? Other recommendations?





Cheers!

I haven't been there but I have been to the one at Old World Village in Huntington Beach and had a great time:

<p>Hi Rocker,</p>

<p>I went a few years ago, I would grade it a "C". It was o.k., but so packed it took you 15 minutes to get a beer ! I would try the H.B. one that zovall suggested if you had to choose.</p>
 
<p>Myself and some other folks are going here fairly soon:</p>

<p>I've never been on the weekend, but on the Thursday we went a few years ago we closed the place down.</p>

<p>Maybe it's changed, but I did the Old World one in HB, the one Zovall mentioned, and it was exactly the same. Worse IMHO, young, drunk, stupid and a 9:1 guy/girl ratio of the cream of HB surf-punk culture.</p>

<p>Off course, I went at night, maybe the daylight brings a different crowd.</p>
 
I did them both a few years back and Old World Village was better than Alpine Village. I also found that it's better to go during the day - maybe late afternoon.





Old World also has the Dachshund races which always are a plus in my book.
 
There is a nice one held in Big Bear. You can make it a cool weekend getaway. Seemed more traditional and classy than the Beerfest at Alpine Village.
 
if youre willing to drive, i hear oktoberfest in downtown san diego is really great. you can take a bus/shuttle between a number of bars that are celebrating oktoberfest.
