The Fest (Octoberfest Pub), Parsons Green, SW6

Yes it's doing what it says on the tin. Bare brick semi bierkelker interior split into two by a false wall, German beer, bench seating, bar girls in dirndls and the promise of an Oompah band on certain nights. 55 German beers either on draught or in bottles and of course the draft comes in jumbo steins if desired (I did indeed). Imported beer and SW postcode prices meant Mrs Quinno was relieved of 18 quid for a 2L schwarz beer and a mulled wine. Official home of the Bayern Munich UK fan club and about three quarters of the tables were apparently reserved for later on in the evening, not that it stopped all the Fulham fans fresh out of Craven Cottage from parking themselves on them. So as you’d have guessed it’s big on the footy, both rooms have big screens and there are a load of scarves hung from the ceiling on the left hand side. Worth a pop-in for the experience and you’re willing to seek out less obvious Teutonic tipples, but it’s best done outside of peak times and with a healthy wallet. 6.5

Its a beer kellar sort of place with an above average and probably the best selection of German beers in London.Mid week visit so no music(thank god).

i come here pretty much every night of the week! it has the best selection of German beers and really good customer sevice. Saturdays have a great atmosphere when the Oompah band are playing. they get you really involved with loads of drinking games and singing of german songs. its great!

Went here with a small group of friends and had an amazing time. My boyfriend loved it cause the meals are definately to German standard and are by no means small portions. Not to mention the steins of GREAT German beer, they also had alot of different bottled beer which I really enjoyed as I like to try different beers. And the band were fantastic, definately dancing on the seats material, and the drinking games were so funny, I even got involved but didn't win...still got to finish my free boot of beer though - great stuff!! And I even got to practice my german with the staff, they were all really friendly. THANKS FOR A GREAT NITE!!

I took my girlfriend who is German here for his birthday! We had a great time!!! There was a huge selection of German food and some great German beers. There were even some my boyfriend had never seen sold in England before. We came on a Saturday night with a big group of friends for the Oktoberfest night and had a great time! We played drinking games and were singing and dancing all night long! I would definately recommend this place to anybody looking for a different kind of celebration! It's like being on holiday!
