The Vancouver Alpen Club has various different activities and sub-groups during the week. As a subgroup of the club we have been central in keeping the German tradition of choir singing alive. We have performed concerts in Vancouver, the Pacific North West and in Germany.
The Deutsches Haus restaurant at the Vancouver Alpen Club is the closest thing you’ll find to an authentic German beer hall without leaving Vancouver – and has been for 80 years. Founded in 1935 as a social club for Vancouver’s German community, the club is now best known for its restaurant, which serves a hearty German menu of bratwurst, pork hock, schnitzel and, you guessed it, pretzels.
Vancouver’s ultimate destination for all things German, The Alpen Club is the place to be for Oktoberfest (on this side of the Atlantic at least). This year, the multi-day celebrations are taking place over three consecutive weekends – giving you plenty of opportunities to don your Dirndl and tuck into some schnitzel while listening to a live polka music performance by The Continentals. Tickets range from $35 for general admission up to $75 for a VIP guest pass, which includes entrance to a private lounge area and an authentic German buffet.
