Athena goes full Bavarian for the afternoon, with a live five-piece oompah band, a Bavarian DJ, German food and steins big enough to need both hands. It's over-18s only.

Tables seat seven or eight and fill in the order people book, so smaller groups get sat with strangers, which is the whole point of Oktoberfest anyway.
