Only one year after its 80th anniversary, the city surprisingly didn’t license the tent. With a new building and concept, it was allowed to restart in 2016. The menu features classic grilled chicken, duck, and various vegetarian and vegan dishes, all in organic quality. It's family-friendly, with discounted lunch menus, children's options, high chairs, and changing tables. The tent's facade showcases Oktoberfest history and has a convertible roof for sunny days. It is accessible, with barrier-free entrances, wheelchair spaces, and Braille menus, and it has won awards for accessibility and sustainability.
