If your plans this month involve clinking oversized beer steins and biting into warm, buttery pretzels while pretending Bandra is Bavaria, Mumbai has you covered. Oktoberfest 2026 is brewing across the city, with restaurants and taprooms rolling out limited-edition craft beers and German classics, plus lively celebrations inspired by the world’s biggest beer festival.
About Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest began in 1810 as a royal wedding celebration of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria (who later became King Ludwig I) and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. Traditionally held from late September to early October, Oktoberfest takes place in Munich and is popular for its giant beer tents, Bavarian folk music, lederhosen, pretzels, bratwurst – of course, litres of locally brewed beer served in iconic steins.
Today, this tradition is embraced globally with its own spin on the festivities – Mumbai is no exception, pairing homegrown craft brews with authentic German flavours and festive community celebrations. Expect everything from crisp lagers and seasonal festbiers to schnitzels, bratwurst, and more with plenty of local flair. Whether you are a craft beer lover looking to discover new brews or simply in it for the sausages and Bavarian food in the city, there is something on tap for everyone. Think sprawling celebrations in BKC, tempting German feasts in Andheri, or cosy pubs in Colaba and Versova pouring fresh craft beer well into the night.
