Get ready to shake, stir and sip your way through Belfast’s second year of Cocktail Week, bringing fantastic drinks from £5 at many of the city’s favourite venues.
From 17 – 26 April 2026, Belfast’s 10-day celebration event will bring together a curated collection of local restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs, each offering hand-crafted cocktails priced between £5 and £7 exclusively for wristband holders.
Designed as an opportunity to explore and reconnect with the city’s vibrant hospitality scene, Belfast Cocktail Week is a chance to enjoy favourite venues — and perhaps uncover a few new ones — through the drinks they’re most proud to serve.
Participating venues will include well-known names such as The Deer’s Head, The Perch Rooftop Bar, Rita’s Cocktail Den, The Foundry and Liquid Belfast with plenty more names to be revealed as the countdown begins. Each venue will be shaking up its own signature cocktail, giving you the perfect excuse to pop in and see what they’re all about. A signature mocktail option will also be available at every participating location.
Founder of one of this year’s event partners at Get Sociable, Peter McCleery said: “We’re delighted to be a partner of Belfast Cocktail Week. At GetSociable, we’re all about helping people discover the best things to do in cities, and events like this are a huge boost for the local hospitality sector. They bring new energy into venues, encourage people to try somewhere different and shine a spotlight on the incredible beverages being poured in Belfast’s bars and restaurants. We’re proud to support an event that celebrates the industry and helps drive footfall for the businesses.”
McConnell’s Irish Whisky are another event partner and their chief marketing officer, Barry Fitzpatrick, is thrilled.
“Our city used to be at the very epicentre of the whisky world and at McConnell’s Irish Whisky we are on a mission to put Belfast back on the world whisky map with a sense of pride in our people, and the place we come from. At its heart, McConnell’s Irish Whisky is about connection – bringing people together and celebrating the creativity and energy of Belfast. That’s why we are proud to partner with Belfast Cocktail Week, a vibrant celebration of creativity and mixology across the city. Offering the perfect stage for people to get out and enjoy great times together over some world class cocktails right on their doorstep.”
The event is delivered by M.ad Agency, organisers of Cocktail Week events across the UK. Director Alice Christison added: “We’re thrilled to bring Cocktail Week to Belfast for the second year. The city’s hospitality scene is something special and we’re looking forward to working closely with local venues to create something that feels welcoming, sociable and distinctly ‘Belfast’. It’s a wonderful opportunity for people to explore the city in a different way — I’d encourage everyone to grab those tickets while they last.”
Wristbands grant access to all £5–£7 cocktails during the event, along with additional offers, including other cocktails and food, at selected venues.
