Oktoberfest 2026 at The Bernard Shaw, Drumcondra

At The Bernard Shaw · Cross Guns Bridge, Drumcondra, Dublin 9, D09 XW44

Beer hall style tables set up for an Oktoberfest celebration

Eatyard’s Oktoberfest takes over The Bernard Shaw’s beer garden in Drumcondra for a month, running across multiple dates from late September into late October with a full Bavarian theme. It suits groups looking for a beer hall night out, anyone who enjoys German food and drink, and regulars at Bernard Shaw’s usual street food and events programme.

What to expect

Entry includes two drink tokens, good for a stein of German beer or a glass of mulled wine, plus a pretzel on arrival, with non-alcoholic options also available at the bar. The food menu runs to bratwurst in standard and vegan versions, currywurst schnitzel burgers and Bavarian cheese boards, and the entertainment side covers live music, stein holding contests, karaoke and a currywurst spice challenge. Seating is on shared communal beer hall style tables, first come first served, and the event is restricted to over 20s. Private group buyouts of sections of the beer garden can also be arranged directly with the organisers for larger parties.

Getting there

The Bernard Shaw is at Cross Guns Bridge in Drumcondra, Dublin 9, right on the Royal Canal. Dublin Bus routes along Phibsborough Road and the North Circular Road serve the area, and both Glasnevin and Drumcondra rail stations are within walking distance.

While you’re in Drumcondra

The Royal Canal towpath runs past the venue and makes for a good walk before or after, and Drumcondra village has plenty of other pubs and cafes close by. There is more to see across Co. Dublin.
