This Bavarian-style beer garden has spacious seating inside and out, with beer maids wearing dirndls, colorful murals depicting Bavarian life and even a maypole. Doors open at 17:00. An authentic “oom-pah” band, flown in for the festival, plays nightly starting at 19:00. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, well-known band Al-Fanfare highlights the festivities.
Plenty of Erdinger beer, from one of Germany’s favorite breweries, is on tap, as well as locally-brewed artisan beer Porches Pilsner.

The Biergarten is off the EN 125 at the Porches roundabout. For more information, visit the Oktoberfest Algarve page on the VILA VITA Parc website.
