Craving a taste of Bavaria in Budapest? Look no further than Spíler Biergarten in Buda Castle. Twice a month, this lively spot transforms into an authentic Oktoberfest haven, complete with live music, cold brews, and delicious German fare.
Budapest has it all. In October, for instance, you don't have to travel all the way to Germany to experience the special atmosphere of beer festivals. The Spíler Biergarten in Buda Castle, located in Dísz tér, brings not only the best Bavarian flavours, beers and liqueurs to Budapest but also live music on several occasions to bring back the Bavarian atmosphere.
Indulge in Bavarian delights
The Biergarten's regular favourites include Bavarian sausages and pretzels, but this October, they're offering some exciting new specials. You can try the Bratwurst dog with honey mustard, sauerkraut, and crispy bacon, or enjoy Käsespätzle topped with cheese sauce, smoked bacon, and crispy onions.
Don't miss the Leberkäse, a pork and beef pâté, best paired with mustard and homemade pickles, or indulge in the ever-popular potato crisps. For something heartier, try the potatoes served with fried pigs' trotters. And if you're in the mood to share, the vanilla apple strudel for two is perfect. If you fancy something international, burgers, pizza, salads, dipping bowls, and bean goulash soup are always on the menu.
Beer, liqueurs, and pálinka to tantalise your taste buds
Throughout October, you can indulge in an irresistible selection of beer, liqueur, and pálinka tastings at Spíler Biergarten. You can also pick from 4 or 6-glass beer flights, featuring favourites like Spíler Lager, Oktoberfest, Sour Cherry, Wheat, Radler, Pécsi Pils, and Dark Lager. Feeling festive? Oktoberfest beers are also available in a hefty 3.5-litre shareable size.
If liqueurs and pálinka are more your style, try 3 or 5-taster packs, with options like Jägermeister, Berliner Luft, Unicum, Tubi 60, Gyulai, and Rézangyal in various flavours.
Bavarian delights accompanied by Bavarian music
Enhance your Oktoberfest experience with live Bavarian folk music from the Szomori Fiúk band on Friday, October 4th and 18th, from 6 pm to 10 pm. With mouth-watering food, ice-cold beers, and a buzzing atmosphere, Spíler Biergarten is your go-to spot for a perfect October night.
And if the Indian summer holds, enjoy our treats on the outdoor terrace before a scenic stroll along the cobbled streets toward the Danube, Tabán, or the Tóth Árpád Promenade, perhaps even with our imaginary companion, Béla Spíler, the cosmopolitan character of the Zsidai Group.
Make sure to book in advance for the October evenings by calling +36-1-800-9215 or visiting hello@spilerbiergarten.hu.
