By Martin Booth  Wednesday Apr 5, 2023

Bristol Cocktail Weekend will see bars across the city join forces for a number of special events from September 28 to October 1.

Bars announced so far include Loose Cannon on Millennium Promenade, Her Majesty’s Secret Service in Clifton and Filthy XIII on Cheltenham Road.

Bristol Cocktail Weekend is being brought to the city by Living For The Weekend founder and director, Alex Nicholson-Evans, and is supported by Bristol City Centre Business Improvement District (BID).

“Whatever your favourite tipple is, this will be a weekend you won’t want to miss,” said Nicholson-Evans, previously behind Birmingham Cocktail Weekend.

“Bristol’s cocktail bars are world-class and trying out some of the best creations they have to offer for just £6 each is a win for cocktail lovers near and far.

“Our aim with our events is to connect people and celebrate culture with simple pleasures – in this case, sipping a delicious cocktail in the fantastic city of Bristol.

“What could be better? See you in September!”

Head of Bristol City Centre BID, Vicky Lee, added: “We’re over the moon to finally announce that we are key supporters in bringing Bristol Cocktail Weekend to the city.

“Bristol is home to some of the best cocktail bars in the country, and Bristol Cocktail Weekend landing in the city centre will serve to champion these local hospitality heroes and their creations ever further.”
