Whether it is hidden speakeasies or rooftop bars, Bristol can serve a cocktail in style. We’ve officially got some of the coolest cocktail bars in the UK. Many of whom will be shaking up the city for the eagerly anticipated second edition of Bristol Cocktail Weekend this September.
Back for more spirited fun, from September 26 to 29, the cocktail extravaganza is Bristol’s biggest showcase of mixology – featuring signature cocktails, food deals and incredible events. And by grabbing a ticket for Bristol Cocktail Weekend (starting at £10), you’ll have access to it all.
Over 1,000 cocktail connoisseurs visited 32 venues across Bristol last year. So far, the first 22 bars have been revealed, with even more to follow in the run-up to the event, including highly regarded bars such as Filthy XIII and Hyde & Co. Where you’ll be able to try £6 signature cocktails (and £5 mocktails) designed by each venue’s teams, especially for the event.
Last year’s Bristol Cocktail Weekend was a huge success and encouraged both residents and visitors to Bristol alike to venture to new venues, with the post-event survey revealing 87% said they had visited venues for the first time as a result of the festival, and 97% saying that they had tried something new.
“This year will be bigger and even better, with more venues, more signature cocktails and more fantastic food deals for people to enjoy,” said Bristol Cocktail Weekend’s Founder and Director, Alex Nicholson-Evans. “Cocktail lovers can expect some exciting & unique events taking place across the weekend too, and we can’t wait to reveal more about the Weekend.”
This year’s Bristol Cocktail Weekend venues include Blame Gloria, Bambalan, The Botanist, Clayton Hotel Bristol, Death Disco, The Cocktail Club (City Centre and Triangle locations), Dirty Martini, Hotel Du Vin, Flight Club, 6 O’clock Gin at the Glassboat, Loose Cannon, Filthy XIII, Flour & Ash, Harbour House, The Lost & Found, Rick’s, Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Milk Thistle, Hyde & Co, The Raven, Tonight Josephine and many more.
