London Cocktail Week is an enormous celebration of the UK’s capital fantastic cocktail scene, with signature cocktails and immersive experiences in hundreds of the best bars in the city. The main London Cocktail Week festival happens in October and is once again extended to an entire month – but join us 05-11 July for the London Cocktail Week Warm-Up. A reopening celebration!
As with everything we do – we wanted the London Cocktail Week Warm-Up to be meaningful and so for this sneak peek at the main event – we’ve chosen only the venues that have suffered the most from a summer reopening.
The 30 venues taking part in the Warm-Up have no outside space, aren’t part of a hotel or restaurant and don’t have an ‘activity’ to entice you in. These are the bars on our list that are the most clandestine, those that are well below ground, the dark and gloriously dingy haunts that epitomise London’s cocktail culture – and are maybe not necessarily everyone’s choice on a balmy summer night. Under the roadmap of reopening – these guys have been closed the longest and so we thought – what a chance to show them some love.
The Warm-Up Cocktail Tours will happen in 30 of the very best hidden bars in London who will be throwing open their doors and welcoming those with a festival wristband.
This is a stripped-back version of what is coming in October so we’ve vetoed events for this Warm-Up. In September we’ll release the timetable for the main event which will be jam packed of all the usual tastings, dinners, parties and pop-ups. Til then – get yourself back to the bars!
