Dundee Cocktail Week is back for its fourth instalment, running from 10th – 19th October, and it promises to be bigger and better than ever. In partnership with Diageo and Stagecoach, this year’s event will see 30+ venues across the city serving up exclusive cocktails, food deals and more – all unlocked with a Cocktail Week wristband.

Across the week, wristband holders can enjoy signature cocktails from £5, alongside food deals and additional drink offers designed to showcase the city’s thriving hospitality scene.

Whether you’re planning a night out with friends, stopping in for after-work drinks or booking a date night, Dundee Cocktail Week is the perfect way to experience the city’s best venues at great value.

Wristband holders can sip their way through a huge line-up of signature cocktails from just £5–£7, each one featuring a premium Diageo spirit. This year’s line-up of £5 signature cocktails is set to impress!

Try the Shirley Temple at St Andrews Brewing Co and the Roast Plum Sour at Eastfield, or Glinda The Good Witch at Malmaison, Captain’s Respite at The Barrelman, and the Miami Sunrise at Top Dog Sports. There’s something to suit every taste. Each venue will also be serving up a signature mocktail, so nobody misses out.

The festival kicks off in style with a launch party on Friday 10 October at Temple Lane with an exclusive launch party in collaboration with Smirnoff Miami Peach. Expect peach-inspired cocktails, £5 serves, live music and more from 7pm. Entry is free but walk-ins only, and access is exclusively for Dundee Cocktail Week wristband holders.

It’s not just about the drinks either! This year’s event is packed with exclusive offers. Highlights include 20% off food at Malmaison, £9 Margherita pizzas at St Andrews Brewing Co, 50% off darts at Top Dog Sports, free entry to AURA, Venga & Rainbow Loft and more, making it the perfect excuse to explore Dundee’s vibrant hospitality scene.

And with Stagecoach as a key partner, getting into the city couldn’t be easier. Their group DayRider ticket costs from just £2.26 per person, making it cheaper (and more fun) to leave the car behind and take the bus into town with friends.

Dundee Cocktail Week 2025 is set to be the city’s biggest cocktail celebration yet – ten days of cocktails, creativity, and great value you won’t want to miss. Grab your wristband, round up your mates, and get ready to experience the very best of Dundee’s bars, restaurants and nightlife.

How can you take part? Support the hospitality trade by purchasing a Dundee Cocktail Week wristband from their website at: Dundeecocktailweek.co.uk. Wristbands are available at three price points:

  • Early Bird: £7.95 (+£1.95 booking fee)
  • Advance tickets: £9.95 (+£1.95 booking fee)
  • Final release: £14.95 (+£1.95 booking fee)

One wristband gets you access to all participating venues and offers throughout the 10-day event.
