Get ready to shake, stir and sip your way through Glasgow’s second year of Cocktail Festival, bringing back fantastic drinks from £5 at many of the city’s favourite venues.
From 24 April – 3 May 2026, Glasgow’s 10-day celebration event will bring together a curated collection of over 50 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, Glasgow Cocktail Festival 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 Maggie’s Rock n Rodeo, Kong, Chaophraya, Cask & Clyde, Fight Club, The Alchemist and Bar Soba to name a few 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.
Industry giant Diageo are this year’s event partner, bringing a selection of stunning cocktails to the event, including unmissable speciality Guinness and Smirnoff cocktails.
These include Smirnoff, Captain Morgans, Baileys, Tanqueray, Ciroc, Johnnie Walker, Guinness and Casamigos.
Plus, thanks to the support from the event’s 0% partners Tanqueray 0.0%, Captain Morgans Spiced Gold 0.0% and Seedlip, visitors can also enjoy a delicious signature mocktail option in each venue, too.

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 ‘Glasgow’. 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.”
