Talking about the event, Founder and Director Alex Nicholson-Evans said: “We’re counting down the days until Bristol Cocktail Weekend officially lands in the city. We’ve seen fantastic success with our event in the Midlands as it brings such a buzz to a city.”
“Bristol is bursting with incredible independent businesses and established cocktail bars, so it’s a dream location for us, and to have so many venues come on board and want to be a part of this new venture will make this an unforgettable experience for everyone.”
Head of Bristol City Centre BID, Vicky Lee has shared her enthusiasm for what the event could mean for Bristol Businesses. She said: “What an opportunity to showcase the phenomenal talent, businesses and hospitality heroes that make Bristol and its thriving night-time economy what it is. We’re tremendously proud of Bristol’s leisure and hospitality sector; it's essential to the fabric of our city.”
“So make sure to grab a ticket and come and see what Bristol has to offer…all while sampling a cocktail or two!”
Ticket holders will be able to attend as many or as little of the participating venues and they can go anytime during the four days of the festival. And at the end of the event, attendees will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite cocktail, with the winner being crowned ‘Bristol Cocktail Weekend Cocktail of the year.’
