Two Cities, One Oktoberfest: Woodside Inn Toasts the Bavarian Season Across Mumbai and Bengaluru

Oktoberfest 2026 at Woodside inn

Woodside Inn, the gastropub that has anchored pub culture in Mumbai’s Colaba, Bandra and Andheri and Bengaluru’s Indiranagar, is marking Oktoberfest with its widest celebration to date as the festival runs simultaneously across both cities for the first time. From 1st to 25th October, all four outlets will serve a specially curated Bavarian-inspired menu alongside their regular offering, running daily from 12 pm to 1 am.

The line-up leans into Munich’s beer hall traditions from the first bite, opening with fun takes on Oktoberfest’s favourite snack – Pretzels. With the option for Cream and Onion Spiced and Korean BBQ Spiced, these pretzel knots are the perfect bites for beer . The small plates like Crusty Potatoes with Crispy Onions and Creamy Obatzda, Beer Battered Gherkin Fritters with Honey Mustard Sour Cream lean into classic Bavarian flavours reimagined for the modern table. Chicken Schnitzel Bites are Bavaria’s beloved breaded cutlet, reimagined with a Korean-spiced twist with Gochujang and shaved manchego cheese.

The large plates carry the Alpine spirit further with a Beer and Cheese Rigatoni finished in a Helles Lager-spiked Mozzarella Cheddar Cream and Toasted Pretzel Crumb, and a Bavarian Hot Dog dressed with Currywurst Ketchup which is a tribute to Germany’s iconic street-food classic along with Apple and Pickle Slaw, served on traditional Brötchen bread in Mumbai and brioche in Bengaluru, with a choice of Chicken Krainer or Pork Currywurst sausage.

Dessert brings the celebration to a full circle with two distinct selections in each city, Mumbai’s Danube Wave Tres Leches Cake is a playful riff on the river that runs through the heart of Bavaria, and Bengaluru’s Black Forest Tart, drawing directly from the Schwarzwald region’s most famous export.
Each city pours its own five-beer line-up to celebrate the Oktoberfest in style, Every beer is available as a Pint (330 ml), Large Pint (500 ml) or Stein (1000 ml), poured all the way up to a full litre for a proper Bavarian-style toast.

Mumbai’s taps features Hell Meister, a Helles Lager brewed in-house by Woodside Brews along with a Kaiser Kölsch by 2 Down Beer Co, Doppelbock which is a German Lager by Bira, Fest and Furious which is Festbier by Bombay Duck Brewing and finally Forward March-Zen which is a Märzen by KA Brew House.
Bengaluru’s Indiranagar outlet pours Hell Meister by Geist, Kaiser Kölsch by Red Rhino, Dubbel Trouble which is a Belgian Dubbel by Flying Fox, Forward March-Zen by Toit, and Golden Fox, a Hefeweizen by Flying Fox.

“Oktoberfest has always been about bringing people together over good food and great beer, and that’s exactly the energy we wanted to recreate at Woodside Inn,” said Pankil Shah, Co-founder of Woodside Inn. “Taking it national this year, across Mumbai and Bengaluru, felt like the natural next step and this year we’ve taken the flavours of Bavaria and given them our own playful spin, city by city, so guests get something unique to experiment with”
