Sunderland Cocktail Week 2027

🍸 Explore Sunderland, one sip at a time.

Fri 29 January to Sun 7 February 2027

Starts on payday. January's done.

Sunderland 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 Vine Place to the Roker seafront 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 the collection point.

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.

What your wristband unlocks

• 🍸 A signature cocktail in every bar taking part, from £5
• 🍹 A mocktail in every bar too, so nobody sits it out
• 🍽 Food deals at selected restaurants
• ✨ Extra menus and offers in the bars that go further

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 £7.95.

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

Early Bird is on now
