Northern Ireland readies for its first cocktail week
Belfast Cocktail Week will take place from 7-16 November, showcasing more than 30 of the Northern Irish capital’s top bars, restaurants, and pubs.
Next month, Belfast will host its first Cocktail Week celebration, which will see the city’s best-loved venues offer signature cocktails priced from £5 (US$6.60) for all wristband holders, each one crafted to showcase the city’s thriving mixology scene.
Wristbands can be used an unlimited number of times throughout the 10-day event and will unlock access to signature cocktails and exclusive food and drink offers across the city.
Confirmed venues so far include 39 Gordon St, Halt, Bootleggers, Char & Mash, The Tipsy Bird, Three Sheets, The Perch, and more.
The Belfast celebration will be the 20th cocktail week event to be organised by the UK and Ireland M.ad Agency.
The agency has previously launched Cocktail Week events in UK cities such as Newcastle, Manchester, York, Liverpool, Sheffield, and Dublin.
Founder Alice Christison said: “Belfast has such a vibrant and creative hospitality scene, and it’s so exciting to finally bring Cocktail Week here. The event is all about celebrating the people and venues that make this city special. It’s an incredible opportunity for locals and visitors alike to explore, support, and enjoy Belfast at its very best.”
Wristbands are available at two price points: advance tickets are offered at £12.95 (US$17), with final release priced at £14.95 (US$20). Both are subject to a £1.95 (US$2.50) booking fee.
One wristband gets the wearer access to all participating venues and offers throughout the 10-day event.
Last month, London hosted its 16th annual Cocktail Week, and it was announced the founders will be taking sole ownership of the event from February 2026.
