Cocktails in the City Summer Edition

Fancy going to a weekend-long cocktail party? Well, of course. Cocktails in the City returns to the capital this August with over 25 of London's most innovative bars (in pop-up form), arriving for a weekend of alfresco drinking and show-stopping cocktails.

Meddle with the best bartenders and the most marvellous mixologists, against the beautiful backdrop of Bedford Square Gardens. This is the most vibrant cocktail event on the calendar, offering a 'whirlwind tour of cocktail exploration'. Pop-up bars to make a beeline for include TT Liquor, Mint Gun Club, Soho's Opium and Savage Garden.

And what does any good cocktail need to complete it? Something delicious to eat. For the London event only, the Lost Boys Pizza are bringing their Instagram-ready black dough pizzas to Bedford Square Gardens (which actually marks the first time they’ve taken the concept outside their own bricks and mortar).

Bedford Square Gardens is also playing host to gyoza experts, Rainbo and hotdog kings, Rock a Dolla – together offering meat, vegetarian and vegan options.

Keep an eye out for the champagne cocktail bars – with Moet on offer – which allow guests the choice of three sorbet drinks to which they can add champagne, and Cocktails in the City’s partner, 31Dover.com, which is introducing The Tasting Rooms – an immersive tasting experience that journeys through 'flavour, texture and aroma'.

Be The Bartender also has a pop-up stand offering guidance to curious newcomers on how to shake the perfect cocktail concoction wherever they wander. Cheers to that!

Entry tickets include your choice of complimentary cocktail upon arrival.
