With a packed programme of immersive events, new experiences, fun masterclasses, interesting trade seminars and a city-wide cocktail takeover, Glasgow Cocktail Fortnight 2025 is shaping up to be its biggest and most ambitious festival yet.

New for this year? Expect everything from coffee shop cocktail raves with Glasgow’s cool coffee haunt, Pineapple Espresso, who will create a menu full of matcha cocktails, espresso martinis, and innovative coffee creations. There will also be two daytime parties at secret locations on Saturday, 27th September and Saturday, 4th October that are all free to attend with your wristband, plus cocktail-fuelled masterclasses and pop-up parties in unexpected places.

The city’s biggest cocktail festival brings together over 50 of the city’s top cocktail bars, with venues including House of Gods, Sebb’s, Champagne Central, Absent Ear, Cornershop, The Gate, Devil of Brooklyn, Kelvingrove Cafe, Last Bookstore, The Locale, The Marlborough, VEGA, West Side Tavern, and many more to be announced.

Each participating venue will serve three exclusive signature cocktails as part of the Glasgow Cocktail Fortnight menu, with ticket holders enjoying £2 off every drink. For example, if a cocktail is priced at £9, guests pay just £7; if it’s £10 or £11, they’ll enjoy it for £8 or £9 respectively.

Established in 2018, Glasgow Cocktail Fortnight has grown year on year to spotlight the very best of the city’s hospitality scene, with a diverse programme of events and carefully curated, handpicked venues. Tickets are now available, with the full 2025 festival lineup set to be revealed soon. As always, Glasgow Cocktail Fortnight champions quality cocktail experiences created by the city’s best bartenders and venues.

For the first time, Glasgow Cocktail Week will also host insightful seminars tailored to the hospitality industry on Monday, September 29th.
