Eatyard

Location: Drumcondra Tickets are nearly all gone for the Eatyard Oktoberfest celebrations, but they're bound to be some of the best in Dublin, so if you can get a ticket make sure you do. They have slots running from the 30th September to the 29th October, where you can book Friday 7pm-9pm or Saturday 5pm-7pm or 8pm-10pm. They will have beer, bratwursts (vegan options too), cheese, and charcuterie boards. As we say, don't delay on booking a slot. https://www.instagram.com/p/CiM0f5Bs7RY/

Honourable Mention for one Oktoberfest themed menu...

Neat Pizza

Location: Smithfield & Fairview If partying isn't really your thing, but you want to get into the Oktoberfest spirit, then trying this themed pizza menu from Neat could be the answer. These German classics are limited edition, so just as we have to soak up pumpkin spice lattes when they're here, we have to enjoy Oktoberfest too. https://www.instagram.com/p/CizaKOlvhLF/ No matter how you're celebrating Oktoberfest, we hope that you enjoy the festivities while you can.
