Biergarten – Octoberfest year around food, music and down right fun

Celebrate Octoberfest everyday at the Biergarten in EPCOT. This is not the place for a quiet romantic evening with the Missus. This is a place to party. Beer and Bratz and singing and dancing. Come on in for the party.

Long tables line the room. This is a place to be friendly and meet people from around the world. Grab your food from the buffet, sit down and have some fun. (Just make sure to talk to your neighbor.)

The Hours

Lunch is served from 11:00 until 3:45. Dinner starts at 4:00 and lasts until around 9:00.

The Decor

The Biergarten is designed to look like an old German town square at Octoberfest time. There are buildings around a big stage where the band comes out and plays.

Location

The Biergarten is located in the Germany Pavilion in EPCOT. It’s right in the middle. Just follow your nose.
