    Not pushed on the one in IFSC at all, a couple of years ago there was one in the Mansion House that was brilliant though. Wonder if that will ever be back.

    Same! I keep checking around for the alternative smaller Oktoberfest experience where it would be less like the IFSC over priced one. I thought there was a 2nd one on this year somewhere in Dublin? No?

    Same with the Christmas market in IFSC, it was good a few years ago, how it's total overpriced garbage.

    I was disappointed by the Oktoberfest in Dublin...
    I thought the prices were again over the top
    I thought the food options were limited
    No Schnitzel unless i missed it
    No Applestrudel unless I missed it as well wanted to have a coffee and studel :(
    Currywurst in with a bun (more like a hot dog than real currywurst on a plate of fries)
    I did find having a polish stand there unusual but nice offering
    -
    I did find the security and gardai helpful when a friend "lost" her bag...
    Hopefully next year they will improve!
    Maybe a change of venue?
    Maybe Dublin castle(either main square or chester beaty library) grand canal square and lock?) , smithfield(too many skangers)? iveagh gardens(more cost)? meeting house square(too small maybe)
    -
    I would recommend if you go to an Oktoberfest or beer festival in germany, don't go to Munich, go to a smaller town with its own
    less drunken americans and shorter queues and nice local produce..
