Afterwiesn at Pinos: MM invites to two Bavarian-Mallorcan evenings

Afterwiesn at Pinos: MM invites to two Bavarian-Mallorcan evenings

On October 16 and 17 Wiesn atmosphere meets island summer

If you want to let the last notes of the big Oktoberfest season linger a little longer, you'll find a friendly island alternative this weekend in Sol de Mallorca. The Pinos restaurant (C/ Hams, 3) opens its doors on Friday and Saturday for an Afterwiesn party presented by Mallorca Magazin. Two evenings with food, music and the usual dose of good cheer — traditional costume is explicitly welcome.

Practical information first: Doors open on both days at 6:30 PM, the communal dinner starts at 7:30 PM. The price is €85 per person. Reservations are handled via the restaurant's website Pinos reservation page. If you plan to come in a dirndl or lederhosen, don't wait too long: seating is limited and the small restaurant quickly develops a familiar atmosphere.

What can visitors expect? Not a huge festival, but two cosy evenings that combine Bavarian elements with Mallorcan ease. You can look forward to hearty food and fitting music — just as suits a place with neighbours and regulars. The venue is located in a quiet corner of Sol de Mallorca; when the lamps come on and the clinking of glasses drifts across the street, the evening feels homely.

For the island, a small Wiesn aftershow is more than mere entertainment. Events like this bring people together: locals, residents and visitors find common ground here — often literally over the food. This supports local restaurateurs like Pinos, who rely on every booking in the low season. Smaller-scale events are also more practical and sustainable than large festivals: local traffic remains manageable, supply chains are short, tables are full — and the kitchen gets the chance to cook from the heart.

A small everyday impression: on an evening like this you hear more laughter than car horns, voices mix with the sound of cutlery, and the speakers blend traditional brass-band pieces with more modern hits. Outside you might smell grilled peppers or rosemary from the kitchen — scents that immediately take a place in your memory. If you come by car, consider the parking situation; several guests use a later stroll through Sol as a pleasant finale.

Practical tips: book online in time, arrive punctually for entry, and mention any allergies when reserving. Groups should coordinate, because with limited capacity it's a shame if friends end up seated apart. And: a touch of traditional costume makes for better photos — but comfort comes first.

For the island, the Afterwiesn in small scale means: nurturing community, supporting a restaurant and an opportunity to extend the season with a smile. If you fancy a mix of Bavarian verve and Mallorcan ease, these two evenings offer exactly the right experience.

Reservations can be made via Pinos' page (pinos-restaurant.myrestoo.net/de/reservar). The organisers ask guests to respect existing bookings and cancel in good time if necessary so others can take their place.

O'zapft is? Maybe not for three weeks, but for two evenings at the end of the season there is enough atmosphere in Sol de Mallorca to celebrate together.
