Brick Lane Oktoberfest 2025 Brings Bavarian Chaos to Shoreditch

Lederhosen, Oompah beats, and Munich brews – London’s wildest Oktoberfest returns for two weekends of beer-soaked brilliance.

Forget your usual Shoreditch pint. This October, Brick Lane Oktoberfest 2025 is back at Juju’s Bar & Stage, and it’s bringing a whole lot more oomph (and oompah). For four nights only – October 3, 4, 10, and 11 – this East London venue will transform into the most riotous Bavarian beer hall this side of the Danube. Expect golden steins, bratwursts, and an outrageous amount of singalongs.

Already one of London’s most talked-about Oktoberfest events, this second edition levels up the energy while keeping all the charm. Whether you’re a seasoned prost-er or a first-time stein-holder, get ready to be swept up in a whirlwind of brass bands, beer-fuelled dancing, and Bavarian madness.

Bavarian Brews, Shoreditch Vibes: Brick Lane Oktoberfest Returns

Hosted inside the cavernous Juju’s Bar at The Truman Brewery, this Oktoberfest celebration delivers the perfect collision of East London attitude and Alpine authenticity. For two back-to-back weekends, the venue becomes a German fantasy – beer barrels, Oompah horns, and more pretzels than you can possibly eat.

The headline act? The Bavarian Strollers, back with their legendary ‘Oompop’ sets. That’s right – classic brass meets absolute bangers, turning your dad’s beer songs into full-on dancefloor anthems.

Your Hostess With the Mostess: Eva Von Schnippish

If Brick Lane Oktoberfest had a crown jewel, it would be Eva Von Schnippish – resident emcee, party queen, and lover of all things chaotic. With an accent thicker than your weissbier and a voice made for screaming “Prost!”, Eva leads everything from barrel tappings to dance-offs and costume contests.

And yes, there will be games. Yes, there will be prizes. And yes, you better believe your dirndl better sparkle.

Cue Point x Currywurst: Shoreditch-Style Fest-Food

You won’t need to worry about soaking up all that festbier. BBQ legends Cue Point are serving up Bavarian-style bites that go way beyond soggy schnitzel. Expect next-level sausages, fest-friendly BBQ, and even vegan and veggie options that slap harder than a polka drop.

Grab a seat if you’re early — but be prepared to dance that bratwurst off later.

Why Brick Lane Oktoberfest Is More Than a Beer Fest

Let’s be real. Oktoberfest in London can be a bit… copy-paste. But Brick Lane Oktoberfest brings something more – a real fusion of Bavarian tradition and Shoreditch mischief. It’s got style. It’s got spirit. And most importantly, it doesn’t take itself too seriously.

So whether you’re an Oktoberfest purist or just want a reason to wear lederhosen in public, this is your sign. Book a ticket. Grab your crew. Leave your dignity at the door.

Plan Ahead and Prost Like a Pro

Juju’s is located in Ely’s Yard, Truman Brewery (E1 6QR) — just steps away from Shoreditch High Street Overground and Brick Lane’s buzziest hangouts. Hit the festival early, stay for the dancing, and keep the party rolling at nearby bars like The Pride of Spitalfields or Beigel Bake for your post-steins snack.
