If you are looking for somewhere to celebrate Oktoberfest in Kuala Lumpur in October 2026, Havana Bar & Grill on Changkat Bukit Bintang has confirmed that Oktoberfest runs all month. It is a practical choice for people who want a central venue where the evening can start with food and drinks, then continue around Havana's scheduled music and Changkat nightlife depending on the date.

The useful answer: you do not need one festival weekend
Oktoberfest searches often make it sound as though you need to find one big date and build the whole month around it. Havana's 2026 approach is easier: Oktoberfest at Havana runs throughout October.
That means the right night can be the one that already works for your group. A Wednesday dinner, a Friday catch-up and a weekend with live music can all become Oktoberfest plans without everyone having to coordinate around a single event.
Choose the venue by the kind of night you actually want
Before picking an Oktoberfest venue, decide what matters to your group. Do you want a proper meal first? Somewhere central? A venue where the evening can continue after dinner? A date with live music or a DJ already scheduled?
Havana already works as a full restaurant and nightlife venue, and Oktoberfest runs alongside its usual food, drinks and music rather than replacing them.
For food-led groups, arrive before the night gets busy
If the group is meeting for dinner, arrive early enough for the table to be the main event. Havana's current food menu is broad enough for mixed appetites, from shareable plates and pizza to steaks, burgers, pasta and seafood.
That is useful for an Oktoberfest night because the plan does not have to be 'drinks first, food later'. You can make the meal the base and let the seasonal atmosphere build around it. When you are ready for a second round, the drinks menu keeps the table going.
For music-led groups, pick the date from the calendar
Havana's October Events page currently lists DJs and live-band dates across the month. That does not mean every date is an Oktoberfest-specific performance, but it does mean you can choose an evening where the existing entertainment matches the pace your group wants. For a music-led plan, the Oktoberfest Party on Sunday 25 October runs from 5 PM to 8 PM with live music by Josh Thomas and free entry.
Check the live calendar before booking, and then check again when Havana releases the final Oktoberfest programme. The most useful Oktoberfest date is the one that combines Oktoberfest at Havana with the kind of evening your group already enjoys.
For visitors, Changkat keeps the plan simple
If you are visiting Kuala Lumpur, Changkat Bukit Bintang is a straightforward area to build an evening around. Dinner, bars and later-night options sit close together, so you do not have to cross the city if the group wants to continue after Havana.
That makes the location part of the answer to 'where should we celebrate?' You can make Havana the whole plan or the anchor of a wider night without adding much friction. Prefer something easier-paced? See a more relaxed night out in Bukit Bintang.
Do not wait for the perfect Oktoberfest stereotype
A good Oktoberfest night does not depend on reproducing Munich inside Kuala Lumpur. At Havana, the night is about the social side: a table, food, drinks, people you want to spend time with and an October atmosphere that gives the night a reason to feel different.
Look out for specific Oktoberfest details as they are confirmed. The reason to choose Havana is already clear: Oktoberfest runs all month, the venue is central, and the night can be as food-led or as lively as the date you choose.
How to plan it
Choose your October date, check the latest Events page, book ahead if you are coming with a group, and look for the final Oktoberfest details before you travel. If one themed night is not enough, the Halloween party on Changkat follows on 31 October.
