Which beer tent is best for first-timers?

No, entry to all beer tents is completely free. However, seats fill up fast - especially on weekends and evenings. Without a reservation, you will need to arrive early (before 10 AM on weekdays) or try your luck during off-peak hours. Reservations can be made directly through each tent's website, usually starting in spring.What time should I arrive to get a seat?
