Oktoberfest DC at Café Berlin

Café Berlin, a German restaurant on Capitol Hill two blocks from Union Station, turns its covered biergarten into a five-week Oktoberfest each fall. German and Austrian Festbier and Marzen are poured in traditional Mass glasses alongside a Bavarian kitchen menu of roast pork knuckle, Wiener schnitzel, sauerbraten, wurst from a German butcher and warm pretzels with Obatzda. The garden seats about seventy-five under umbrellas and there is no cover charge, so it functions as a long seasonal run rather than a one-weekend festival.
