4 DAYS. FOUR. DAYS.

Still debating whether you should come to Armory Oktoberfest?

We’re here to make that decision extremely easy.

1. IT’S NOT JUST OKTOBERFEST.
We take a literal historic armory and turn it into a full-blown Bavarian b**r hall. Think Munich Oktoberfest… but make it Philly. Hofbräu bier, giant steins, German food, live music, dancing, and enough chaos to make Oma nervous.

2. THE BIER. OBVIOUSLY.
Hofbräu is flowing. Steins are getting filled. And yes, you are absolutely allowed to practice your bier-holding technique. This is basically athletic training.

3. YOU GET TO EAT, DRINK & BE RIDICULOUS.
German food. Giant pretzels. Sausages. Dancing. Dirndls. Lederhosen. Questionable dance moves. You know… CULTURE.

4. BECAUSE EVERYONE WHO GOES WILL BE TALKING ABOUT IT AFTER.
This isn’t your average weekend night at the bar. It’s four hours inside a completely transformed Philly armory that feels like you just walked straight into Munich.

And one very important update:

🚨 SATURDAY DAY SESSION IS SOLD OUT. 🚨

But we still have tickets for:

• FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9 | 7:30–11:30 PM
• SATURDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER 10 | 7:30–11:30 PM

So stop thinking about it. Grab your people. Get your dirndl/lederhosen situation together.

ARMORY OKTOBERFEST IS ONLY 4 DAYS AWAY.

And trust us… you want to be there when this place goes FULL BAVARIA.

Once Oktoberfest is over … we’ll have a new problem … It’s FALL, YA’LL. And apparently we’re incapable of having a normal Saturday, so naturally…

BRAUHAUS SCHMITZ FALL FEST is happening.

• SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17
• 12–8 PM
• 700 BLOCK OF SOUTH STREET

We’re taking everything we love about Oktoberfest, throwing it into a giant fall-themed blender, and seeing what happens.

• BIERGARTEN style
• Delicious Foods
• LITER LIFT COMPETITION
• More bier than anyone reasonably needs
• AND LIVE MUSIC by citizen.riot

Oktoberfest may be ending, but we clearly haven’t learned our lesson.

So come drink bier outside, eat something delicious, listen to Citizen Riot, attempt to lift a liter like you have something to prove, and generally make questionable decisions with your friends.

FALL YA’LL. WE’RE DOING THIS.

Saturday, October 17.
12–8 PM.
700 Block of South Street.

You know where to find us.

HOW DID THIS… TURN INTO THIS?! 👀

A completely ordinary-looking armory…

…and then we got our hands on it.

A LOT of hard work.
A LOT of bier.
A LOT of questionable decisions.
And approximately 47,000 trips carrying tables, tents, decorations and everything remotely Bavarian.

And somehow… BOOM. 💥

You walk through those doors and suddenly you’re not in Philly anymore.

YOU’RE IN MUNICH!

The 23rd Street Armory Oktoberfest is ONLY 5 DAYS AWAY.
And we are about to turn this place into one hell of a Bavarian party.

🚨 SATURDAY DAY SESSION IS OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT. 🚨
As in… THERE ARE NO MORE TICKETS!!!.

So please save the “I know a person…” calls.

Because if that person has a ticket, they should have told you to buy yours about three weeks ago.

BUT… you still have TWO MORE INSANE SESSIONS to choose from:

🍺 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9 • 7:30–11:30PM
🍺 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10 • 7:30–11:30PM

The Armory is transforming.
Munich is coming to Philly.
And you have 5 DAYS to get yourselves prepared.

TICKETS ARE MOVING. DON’T BE THE “DO YOU THINK THEY’LL LET ME IN?” PERSON.

Five days. Two sessions left. One giant Munich-in-Philly fever dream. LET’S GO!!!

Tonight is not a drill, Philadelphia. 😳

It’s WIN-OR-GO-HOME in Game 3. One game. One winner. One ticket to the NLDS.

And we’re putting it where it belongs — ON THE BIG SCREEN. WITH SOUND.

First pitch: 8 PM
Your stress level: already unreasonable
Your bier needs: EXTENSIVE.

PITCHERS OF GERMAN BIER STARTING AT $15
$1 WINGS. YES. ONE DOLLAR.

So come plant yourself at the ‘Haus, grab a pitcher, order approximately 47 wings, and LET’S GO PHILS.

Because if Philadelphia is going to collectively lose its mind tonight, we might as well do it together—with a bier in our hand, the game BLARING on the big screen, and $1 wings within arm’s reach.

RED OCTOBER. GAME 3. LET’S. GO. ❤️⚾️

THE ARMORY. IS. NEXT. WEEKEND.

The 8th Annual 23rd Street Armory Oktoberfest is (almost) ONE WEEK AWAY — and things are getting very real around here.

🎟️ SATURDAY DAY SESSION = SOLD OUT!
(You people understood the assignment!!)

But if you didn’t snag those tickets… DON’T PANIC. There are still tickets for the other sessions, but they are moving FAST.

Here’s what’s waiting for you inside the Armory:

• Delicious Hofbräu bier flowing
• Serious Bavarian food
• Live music + a full Oktoberfest soundtrack
• Traditional dancing
• Steins in the air
• Dirndls & lederhosen
• A massive Bavarian-style celebration inside one of Philly’s coolest historic spaces

And then there’s the 23rd Street Armory itself — because this isn’t your neighborhood b**r hall Oktoberfest. We’re taking over the entire damn Armory and turning it into a Munich-style Oktoberfest party.

Three sessions. Two nights. One giant Bavarian takeover.

📍 22 S. 23rd Street
📅 Friday, October 9 — 7:30–11:30
📅 Saturday, October 10 — 1–5 *SOLD OUT*

MEET KONRAD GRASER’S BRAUNBIER 🍺

A little piece of 19th-century Bamberg has landed at the ‘Haus.

This 5.6% unfiltered Braunbier is based on the historic brewing records of Bamberg brewmaster Konrad Graser — and it’s made using an old-school technique called Maischeteigen, where the mash is worked almost like a dough.

The result? Deep, rich malt character, toasted grain, fresh-baked bread vibes and a touch of spice.

Basically… liquid bread.

And no, despite its Bamberg roots, this one is NOT a Rauchbier — there’s no smoked malt hiding in here.

Come give this old-school German b**r a pour and taste a little brewing history for yourself. Prost! **rlovers **r

Heading out for the Eagles tonight?
Catching those 2PM Phillies Wild Card games this week?
Or just looking for an excuse to park yourself at the ‘Haus and watch some sports?

We’ve got you covered.

PITCHERS OF BIER STARTING AT JUST $15!

Pair that pitcher with a sausage sandwich.
Add some wings.
Get a pretzel.
Order whatever the hell your game-day heart desires.

Because whether you’re here for the Birds, the Phils, the bier, or all three… we’re ready for game day! LETS GO! **rlovers **r

THE NOR’EASTER TRIED TO SHUT DOWN OKTOBERFEST.

Cute. Adorable, even.

But Mother Nature clearly forgot who she was dealing with.

We’ve got our hands on a LARGE TENT for outside, so while Oktoberfest may be a little more weather-adapted than originally planned… OKTOBERFEST IS HAPPENING.

Will it be a little scaled down? Yep.
Will we be making some adjustments? Absolutely.
Will we still have bier, food, music, dancing, questionable decisions and a whole lot of people refusing to let a Nor’easter ruin their Saturday?

OH. ABSOLUTELY.

So grab your dirndl. Grab your lederhosen. Grab a raincoat. Maybe a small boat. Whatever you need. 😂

We’re going to make the best of it and throw one hell of an Oktoberfest — rain, wind and all.

🌧️ NOR’EASTER: 1
🍺 BRAUHAUS: NOT SURRENDERING

SEE YOU TOMORROW.
LET’S GET WEIRD. PROST.

09/22/2026

SATURDAY’S GAME PLAN: BIER → BUS → DOOP.

Why choose between Oktoberfest and the Union match when you can do BOTH?

Start your Saturday at South Street Oktoberfest — grab a bier, eat something delicious, soak up the chaos… then hop on the DOOP Bus and head straight to Subaru Park.

No traffic.
No parking.
No “wait… where did I park?”
Just Oktoberfest to kickoff.

• Oktoberfest first
• DOOP Bus next
• Union match after that
• Good decisions? Questionable.
• Saturday plans? LOCKED IN.

We need more butts in these seats, people. Grab your DOOP Bus ticket and come make a day of it!

Oktoberfest → DOOP Bus → UNION.

That’s what we call a proper Saturday. **rlovers **r
