         Bistango, the critically acclaimed restaurant known for its contemporary American cuisine, is celebrating Oktoberfest, a German festival, by transforming its 70-seat al fresco Bistango Gardens into a Biergarten on Wednesday, September 30 from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.  To honor that country’s historical roots, the restaurant will serve an extensive Bavarian-inspired small plates menu along with handpicked premium beers including Hangar 24 Oktoberfest, Goose Island Oktoberfest, Spaten Oktoberfest and Avery Kaiser that may be ordered by the bottle or by flight.

         The world's largest beer festival held annually in Munich, Oktoberfest is a 16-day event running from mid/late-September to the first weekend in October with more than 6 million people attending annually. The festival is an important part of Bavarian culture since its inception in 1810.

         The newly remodeled Bistango is set in an airy atmosphere distinguished by fine art exhibits and large umbrellas that suspend from the ceiling lending great intimacy.  An extensive cocktail list of classics and house specialties and a 500-bottle wine list that was heralded by Wine Spectator round out the offerings. New to its beverage offerings are beers on draft and 30 craft beers by the bottle, which include some difficult to acquire selections.  Bistango serves lunch and dinner weekdays and dinner-only Saturdays.  Bistango is located at The Atrium (19100 Von Karman Avenue, Irvine 92612).  Visit Bistango.com for more information.
