Belfast Cocktail Week 2026 (Winter Edition)

🍸 Explore Belfast, one sip at a time.

Fri 6 to Sun 15 November 2026 · Winter edition

Ten days to warm up before Christmas.

Belfast Cocktail Week is back: ten days celebrating everything this city does best behind the bar. The bartenders, the bars, the late nights and the stories that start with "we'll just have the one".

Every bar taking part creates a signature cocktail made just for the week. It's not on the normal menu and it's gone when the week's over. Your wristband gets it from £5.

Go back to your favourites. Find the hidden gems you've walked past a hundred times. From the Cathedral Quarter to the Lisburn Road and everywhere in between, this is your excuse to see the city a glass at a time.

How it works

1️⃣ Book your wristband here. You get one barcode per wristband.

2️⃣ Swap your barcode for a wristband at one of the collection points below.

3️⃣ Show it at any bar on the list and order the signature cocktail, from £5.

Use it as often as you like, in as many bars as you like, for all ten days.

Bring the group

Cocktails are better with an audience. Round up the group chat and book 4 or more together: everyone's wristband drops to £9.95.

Same wristband. Same ten days. More people to toast with and someone to blame for "just one more".
