As well as sipping on their £6 cocktails, festival-goers will also be able to tuck into a feast, with participating venues offering a whole host of deals to keep cocktail-lovers fed as they make their way through the city. From succulent chicken gyros for just £7.50 at Bambalan, to 25% off sourdough pizzas at Flight Club, and 20% off all food at venues like The Lost & Found, Hotel du Vin and Harbour House, guests are sure to see out the weekend full of both food and drink.

Bristol Cocktail Weekend festival go-ers can get involved with a variety of different events between sipping those £6 signature cocktails, including truly unique sessions such as Ice Carving & Cocktails at  Milk Thistle on Friday 29 September, where the team are joining forces with Roku Gin to offer an authentically Japanese evening with three Roku Gin cocktails, a talk on the history of The House of Suntory and the chance to watch an Ice Carving master at work.

On Sunday 1 October, guests will be invited to join an extra special finale event to close out the weekend. Her Majesty’s Secret Service will join forces with Bristol Film Festival to present a drink-a-long screening of the classic film Cocktail, starring Tom Cruise in one of his most recognisable roles. Over the course of the screening, guests will be treated to three themed cocktails. Wristband holders will receive a special discount for tickets to this event, but tickets will also be available to non-festival go-ers for £40.

Bristol Cocktail Weekend is an 18+ event. Tickets are available on Eventbrite from £12 + booking fee . The main event starts when the first venue opens on Thursday 28 September and runs until the last venue closes on Sunday 1 October. Wristbands are valid for the whole long weekend, allowing guests to dip into the festival for just one evening of cocktail sipping or enjoy all four days exploring venues. More information can be found in the Festival Guide. Please drink responsibly. Tickets are non-refundable.
