Ever celebrate Oktoberfest at an Irish Pub? Don’t knock it until you try it, especially when that pub is Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant in Disney Springs. The fan favorite is blending Irish flair with a Munich staple in their inaugural “Oktoberfeis,” an Irish Oktoberfest beer festival running from September 9 to October 6.
At the heart of the celebration is the exclusive Bavarian Irish Pumpkin Ale, crafted in partnership with Crooked Can Brewing of Winter Garden, Florida. This Amber Pumpkin Ale combines Irish and German malt, complemented by pumpkin spice for that perfect autumn touch. Served in Raglan Road’s authentic Oktoberfeis steins you’ll want to get your hands on this refreshing brew.
Chef Mark O’Neill and his team have also curated a special Oktoberfeis menu that promises to delight. Dishes are available a la carte or as part of a three-course dining experience, featuring highlights like the Potato Pretzel with beer-braised caramelized onion and cheese sauce, and the Pork Chop Schnitzel with crispy potato wedges, mustard cream sauce, pear and shallot relish, topped with fine-grated Parmesan. The perfect sweet ending is an Apple Strudel with vanilla custard, mascarpone, and oat crumble.
Nearby Cookes of Dublin is joining the festivities as well, serving the Bavarian Irish Pumpkin Ale in a can and offering a Pork Schnitzel Sandwich with pickled slaw, pear chutney, wholegrain mustard mayonnaise, and crispy fried onions. “Oktoberfeis is celebrated throughout Ireland and other European cities,” says Raglan Road General Manager Rachael Conroy. “We’re excited to bring the beer-fest fun here and share delicious tastes of fall—one of our favorite seasons!”
Live entertainment nightly includes a suite of shows featuring Irish bands and dancers. You can enjoy shows beginning at noon during the weekend Rollicking Raglan Brunch. Food is served from the All-Day menu daily from 10 a.m.-10:30 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday Brunch is served from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
