Event Details
Welcome to the Gollem's Oktoberfest 2026 in Amsterdam
On 3 and 4 October 2026, Gollem's Proeflokaal at Overtoom 160–162 in Amsterdam-West turns its beer café into a compact Bavarian beer hall. For two days the focus is Festbier in steins, schnaps, schorle, German food and schlager music – a pub Oktoberfest with Amsterdam cosiness rather than a giant festival tent.
Highlights & Attractions at Gollem's Oktoberfest in Amsterdam
- Festbiers and large steins on tap, plus schnaps and schorle
- German festival food: schnitzel, bratwurst, pretzels and flammkuchen
- Long wooden tables, traditional décor and beer-hall atmosphere

- Lederhosen and dirndl are strongly encouraged
- 22 beers on tap and 150+ bottles at Gollem's Proeflokaal year-round
- Table reservation recommended – when the pub is full, it is full

Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2026
Gollem's Oktoberfest 2026 runs on Saturday 3 October and Sunday 4 October. I amsterdam lists 14:00–22:00 both days; some beer calendars list 13:00–23:00. Check cafegollem.nl shortly before you go. Saturday is typically the louder festival night with schlager; Sunday is more relaxed but still festive. This is a pub Oktoberfest, not an open-air mega festival: you sit in the eetcafé, toast with Festbier and eat Bavarian-German classics. In previous years the venue used table time slots (lunch, afternoon, evening) – ask when you book whether slots apply in 2026.
Tickets & Admission for Gollem's Oktoberfest Amsterdam
According to I amsterdam, admission is free (“Gratis toegang”); free tickets or tables can be reserved via the Gollem website and booking system. Food and drinks are charged separately. One third-party beer calendar lists EUR 15 entry – that is not confirmed by the official tourism listing and may refer to a table or package fee. Use cafegollem.nl and the Zenchef reservation page as the source of truth. There are no classic festival ticket tiers; arriving without a table can mean a wait or no seat if the room is full.
Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Amsterdam
- Getting there: Overtoom is in Oud-West. From Amsterdam Centraal, take a tram towards Overtoom / Leidseplein; Vondelpark and Leidseplein are a short walk away.
- What to wear: Early October in Amsterdam is often cool and changeable – bring a jacket. Lederhosen or a dirndl fit the theme and are explicitly welcome.
- Stay: Book hotels and B&Bs around Oud-West, Leidseplein and Vondelpark early; October weekends in Amsterdam fill up fast.
- Reserve a table in advance at cafegollem.nl – this is not a walk-in festival tent.
- Card payment is standard; budget extra for Festbier, food and schnaps. After the party, a stroll through Vondelpark is an easy add-on.
