Only 150 guests will be permitted to attend the Simms brothers’ inaugural Oktoberfest Celebration, which will be held in the courtyard of the newly opened Tin Roof Bistro (3500 N. Sepulveda) at the Manhattan Village Shopping Center in Manhattan Beach on Saturday, October 17 from noon to 4 p.m. Locals Mike & Chris Simms have set a $15 per person price on the festivities which will include bratwurst and hamburgers from their Simmzy’s restaurant and two pints of beer specially selected for the occasion. The first 40 attendees will receive complimentary full-liter steins by Paulaner, whose true Marzen-style fest bier will be served that day. Among the other brews to be served are the Hobrau Oktoberfest, Oktoberfest by Craftsman, Firestone Oktoberfest (not a typo, it is oak aged) and an Oktoberfest brew from Angel City, a Torrance brewery. According to Chris Garza, Simmzy’s beer and wine manager, the beers will be poured from the rear of Simmzy’s classic Volkswagon catering vehicle, which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year.
“We look forward to kicking off our first Oktoberfest with an afternoon of awesome food and unparalleled beers,” said Garza. “The courtyard at Tin Roof Bistro is an ideal site for the festivities and Simmzy’s popular burgers and Chef Anne Conness’ take on the bratwurst combined with these carefully selected brews served right from the back of the truck will make this an unforgettable experience.”
Mike and Chris Simms are third-generation restaurateurs whose family “dine-esty”
