Launching in 2023, Bristol Cocktail Weekend is the city’s annual showcase of mixology, celebrating the incredible cocktail venues that Bristol has to offer. Brought to you by drink and dining connoisseurs, Living For The Weekend, and supported by the Bristol City Centre Business Improvement District (BID), Bristol Cocktail Weekend returned from Thursday 25 – Sunday 28 September 2025.

With a selection of the city’s world-class bars, each serving up signature cocktails, this was the perfect opportunity to raise a glass to Bristol’s vibrant hospitality scene. Bristol’s residents and visitors alike spent four days trying new and innovative cocktail flavours in the city centre, all for a delicious £6 each.

Festival tickets were just £12 + booking fee.

 

You must be over the age of 18 to participate in Bristol Cocktail Weekend.
