From cocktail masterclasses to beer festivals, we take a look at what our great City of London has to offer this October.
London Cocktail Week
The annual celebration of London’s best cocktails is back this October. Over the seven days of cocktail fun, a £10 pass will entitle you to £6 cocktails at many of London’s finest bars. Not only will you get to sample some of the best cocktails in London, you can also expect masterclasses and special events to keep you entertained. Blend your own whiskey at Chivas regal’s pop-up bar, try cocktails made from waste ingredients at Trash Tiki’s and learn new skills with bartender’s workshops. Get involved and be inspired by some of London’s most exciting and innovative food and drink establishments as part of this vibrant celebration.
Brixton Oktoberfest
Taking place on a heated rooftop in Brixton, Oktoberfest is set to be a major sell out. They’ll be a massive selection of craft beers from all over south London served in the usual huge steins by Lederhosen-clad waiters and waitresses. Celebrating the finest brews (and Prosecco for those who aren’t keen on beer) they’ll also be an assortment of traditional wursts by Herman Ze German alongside cheesy treats by Mac to the Future and burritos by the Lambassadors. That’s not all, be prepared for Bavarian beer pong, karaoke and a Berlin-themed techno room! Join in the Oktoberfest spirit by introducing a wurst sausage to your coffee shop offering this October!
Pergola
With the colder weather setting in, you would imagine al fresco bars and food markets as officially off-limits. However, one rooftop bar is totally revamping its outdoor space just in time for the winter months with outdoor heaters and a range of hot cocktails on offer. Set to open October 25th, Pergola, will also offer seasonal food with the likes of warming ramen bowls by Tonkotsu and comforting pizzas by Made of Dough. Feeling inspired by Pergola? Stay competitive and relevant by tapping into seasonal trends.
