Cocktail Takeover 2026 - Common Market

We take over Common Market this year with live music and even livelier cocktails. Our flagship Cocktail City event is your invitation to taste exquisite twists on traditional serves and brand-new creations dreamed up by our expert mixologists.

Your ticket lets you choose 5 bespoke cocktails, curated for Cocktail City and Belfast Whiskey Week, with collaborations from our best mixologists and favourite spirits brands. There are 10 speciality cocktail bars to roam between — a selection of Irish whiskies, Irish gins and local rum cocktails — wrapped in neon lights, live music and the cocktail party you’ve always wanted to attend.
