Oktoberfest: Helping us make inadvisable decisions with beer-induced heartburn since 1810. Yes, Oktoberfest starts in September. Don’t be weird about it. In fact, it’s been going for a while now, but a lot of events in Bangkok are just getting going. If you’re sick of negronis from Negroni Week, it’s time to switch from liquor to beer (never fear). We’ve had one hell of a year for craft beer, so we’re ready.

Londoner Oktoberfest - Oct 1
This favorite brewpub turns on the taps for the first day of October. Expect good beers in big steins.

You’ll find Erdinger, Londoner Pilsner for BOGO, and bottled German beers to go with a selection of traditional German traditional eats.
Oktoberfest at Tribe - Oct 1-31

Oktoberfest at Chithole Royal River - Oct 3-4
Look, you don’t need us to tell you about the brand from the original Chitbeer. It’s a seminal craft beer space. They’re opening everywhere.

What you do need to know for this event is that a Thai singer who sounds like Tom Waits (Phut Pakin) will be playing, and that is a must-see.
Oktoberfest Goji Kitchen + Bar - Oct 3-5
It’s not just about the beer. Here you’ll find smoked and cured meats, cheeses, and German delicacies galore, including crispy golden pork schnitzel, Bavarian roasted pork knuckle with crispy crackling, and slow-cooked beef goulash.

Oktoberfest at Old German Beerhouse - Oct 22, Oct 24
Held on a Wednesday and Friday next month, you know Old German Beerhouse is getting into the spirit. B500 gets you in the door and buys you a half liter of beer. Expect tunes from the Anton Show Band. They’re encouraging people to dress in lederhosen, so we’ll just see how that goes.
Alexander's German Eatery - Oct 23-Oct 25, Oct 30-Nov 1
Across two event weekends as October draws to a close, this party starts at 6pm. B500 gets you in the door and you’ll get a welcome drink. At this spot, already known for its German food, they’ll be putting on a live band for every evening of the event.
