With 40 of the city’s best bars already part of the lineup and a schedule full of immersive events, secret takeovers, Grey Goose brunches and Bacardi masterclasses, Glasgow Cocktail Week 2022 is a must for cocktail fans across Scotland.
Returning for ten days this September (Friday 23rd until Sunday 2nd October) Glasgow Cocktail Week will welcome a melting point of events and new venues for its annual city-wide cocktail takeover. 2022 festival partners include Bacardi, Dewar’s single malt whisky, Bombay Sapphire gin, Patron tequila and Grey Goose vodka.
New bars joining the handpicked cocktail trails this year include the sophisticated Gaucho, graffiti gaming den NQ64, the new cocktail bar within Oran Mor and the luxurious Dakota hotel to name a few. As well as popular cocktail hangouts VEGA, Spiritualist, The Gate, The Finnieston, Absent Ear, Fore Play Crazy Golf and Tiki bar.
Setting the bar high for 2022, Glasgow Cocktail Week has curated exclusive experiences for festival guests. Grey Goose is bringing the party with a brunch series set in iconic venues, and look out for some secret events popping up in locations near you.
If you loved last year’s Silent Disco Drinks in the Sky - it’s back, bigger and neon-lit with even more extra Instagrammable delights including Bacardi wings, three DJ channels and a mojito bike. You can grab a drink from one of their cloud nine bars, sit on our mojito bike or snap a selfie with Bacardi wings before sliding on a pair of headphones and enjoy three DJ channels each matched with a different cocktail. From mojitos to margaritas, don’t miss the silent disco in the sky in the stunning surroundings of VEGA at YOTEL Glasgow.
Ticket holders will once again access exclusively discounted cocktails and unlock Glasgow Cocktail Week menus with their wristbands at a host of top venues across the city.
Glasgow Cocktail Week organiser, Nicola Moir said: “This year we have a ton of new memorable events, cracking drinks and new participating venues ready to give you an exciting cocktail experience across the city.
“Glasgow’s on trade is always innovating, and we can’t wait to share the exclusive imaginative cocktails they’ve created for this year’s festival. Make sure you join us on our cocktail adventures and city-wide takeovers - it’s going to be EPIC!”
