The annual beer festival is back with a bang with festivities, authentic food and drink and live music daily from 9am.
Oktoberfest is about to take over Dubai, kicking off in mid-September, and one of Dubai’s favourite watering holes is hosting another epic celebration.
Originally starting in Munich back in 1810, this annual celebration has since spread worldwide, bringing its signature mix of pretzels, bratwurst, and beer to every corner. And here in Dubai, Barasti hosts an annual bash, gearing up with exciting promos and events that capture the true spirit of Oktoberfest.
Get ready to bust out those lederhosen and dirndls— Barasti Beach Bar is gearing up for the ultimate Bavarian party. Starting Saturday, September 21st, and running through Sunday, October 6th, Barasti will transform its indoor tent into a festive German wonderland. For two whole weeks, you can expect a lively, stein-clinking celebration filled with delicious food, flowing beer, and toe-tapping music that’ll have you dancing on tables in no time.
Inspired by the famous Munich festival, Oktoberfest at Barasti is all about embracing Bavarian traditions, and the venue will be decked out with long wooden tables, bunting, and, of course, plenty of German beer on tap. As soon as the ceremonial keg is tapped at 8 pm on September 21st, the festivities officially kick off, and the beer will be flowing freely for the next two weeks.
But Oktoberfest isn’t just about the brews—Barasti’s special menu will transport your taste buds straight to Germany with iconic bites like currywurst, a savoury bratwurst doused in tangy tomato and curry sauce. For something more traditional, the berner wurstel, complete with bread rolls, mustard, and grated horseradish, is sure to hit the spot. And if you’ve got a sweet tooth, make sure to save room for the apfel strudel—a classic dessert of baked apple and cinnamon wrapped in flaky puff pastry, served with your choice of vanilla sauce, whipped cream, or ice cream.
As you enjoy your feast, the sounds of Oktoberfest will come alive thanks to Austrian band Trio Megamix. Playing every night from 9 pm, they’ll bring all the traditional oompah tunes you’d expect, along with some modern classics to get the party going. Before you know it, you’ll be singing along and dancing on the tables with friends and fellow festival-goers, soaking up the lively Oktoberfest vibes.
Barasti’s Oktoberfest promises a celebration of Bavarian culture, good times, and even better beer, right on Dubai’s stunning coastline. So grab your crew, loosen your belt for the bratwurst, and prepare for a belly-laughing, beer-soaked two weeks of fun. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned Oktoberfest enthusiast, Barasti Beach Bar has all the ingredients for an unforgettable celebration.
Join the party at Barasti from Saturday, September 21st, to Sunday, October 6th, every night from 9 pm. Prost to two weeks of Bavarian bliss.
