It's officially Coventry Cocktail Week!

We hosted Coventry Cocktail Week's launch party at the fabulous Blush & Barrel last Friday and it DID NOT disappoint!
 
We were joined by vibrant venues and cocktail connoisseurs across the city centre to celebrate another brilliant event that's designed to bring increased footfall into Coventry to experience incredible food, drinks, and even retail deals at some of the city's most popular destinations.
 
An attendee shared with us: 'It was fantastic to attend the Coventry BID Cocktail Launch and to connect with so many great hospitality businesses across the city. Great to catch up with existing contacts, meet new people, and strengthen relationships within Coventry’s hospitality community. Events like this are a great way to share ideas, make valuable connections and celebrate the fantastic businesses that help bring the city to life. A big thank you to Coventry BID for hosting such a welcoming and enjoyable evening.'
 
A big thank you to everyone that came and made the event special.
 
And if you haven't yet tried a signature cocktail from one of 30 venues, you're in luck!
 
Because Cocktail Week is still running all this week until Sunday 13th September.
