Dublin Cocktail Week announces business partnerships for summer event
Visitors can collect their event wristband at The Jar pub
The countdown to Dublin Cocktail Week is rattling down at speed with just two weeks to go until launch date on 5 June.
The 10-day celebration event will bring together a curated collection of local restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs, each offering hand-crafted cocktails priced at €7 exclusively for wristband holders.
Designed as an opportunity to explore and reconnect with the city’s vibrant hospitality scene, Dublin Cocktail Week is a chance to enjoy favourite venues – and perhaps uncover a few new ones, too.
In an exciting announcement, Cocktail Week has secured some exciting business partners including Jameson Distillery and hotel partner, Aloft Hotels, as well as special deals with incredible venues during the event.
Wristband collection
The Jar is one of this year’s pick-up points where visitors can pop in and grab their event wristband. It’s a fantastic opportunity for venues to showcase what they have to offer to even more people.
“It’s our second year as a wrist band collection point for Dublin Cocktail Week, we love the buzz that this festival brings to the Jar, new customers excited to try something different, and it allows us to showcase what we can do from a food and cocktail offering. Love working with the DCW team!”
The Belfry Stoneybatter says plans are already underway.
“Dublin Cocktail Week is back and our prep has begun and there’s a new cocktail menu to sample.
“Last year was a blast. Lots of new faces. This year we get to launch our new cocktail menu during DCW and highlight just what a buzzy neighbourhood bar with a city centre offering can do. So exciting.”
General manager at Pitch, Patrick O’ Brien, agrees that 2026 will be their best year yet and said, “At Pitch, we’ve always believed the best experiences happen when great drinks and great fun come together, so Dublin Cocktail Week is a perfect fit for us.
“It’s a celebration of everything that makes this city’s hospitality scene so special, and we’re proud to be part of it. We’re not just a golf venue; we’re a social hub, and Cocktail Week gives us the chance to show that off.
“This year, we’re most looking forward to welcoming people through the doors who maybe haven’t visited us before, whether they’re here to play some games or just sink a seriously good cocktail, we’ll have something for them.”
Manager at Aloft Hotels, Alessio Negro, says it’s the place to be for Dublin Cocktail Week, “It’s a contemporary and modern hotel close to the city centre with a unique design. We’re trying to bring back the music element and social connection, which aligns perfectly with the audience and spirit of Cocktail Week.
“Our bar team are very passionate about mixology and love experimenting, so we can really lean into the creativity and energy of the week.”

Other participating venues will include well-known names such as Jameson Distillery, Fidelity Bar, Capitol Lounge, Disndat, J.T. Pim’s, Café 1920 – Fleet Hotel, Pitch Golf, North Dublin and the Norseman 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. A signature mocktail option will also be available at every participating location.
The event is brought to the city by M.ad Agency, organisers of Cocktail Week events across the UK. Director Alice Christison added: “We’re thrilled to bring Cocktail Week to Dublin for the second year and excited to work alongside our fantastic partners and local businesses. 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 fun and sociable. 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.”
