Well, first thing first, make sure you are inviting all of your beer-loving friends. These spaces are generally on the larger side, so ensure you keep things organised when it comes to guests and budgeting. Following that, coordinate with the venue manager, who can help you take care of every last detail of your party. During the summer months, seek beer gardens in rooftop spaces to take in the sun and get a view of London’s remarkable skyline. If you are throwing an Oktoberfest party once the seasons change, seek a covered hall with great long tables and flame heaters to get in the brauhalle spirit.
