What the venues said
Cocktail week provided a fun atmosphere through the city center
Cocktail Week has been a fantastic success in Nottingham — the city came alive with creativity, flavour, and community spirit. Bars, bartenders, and cocktail lovers all came together to celebrate in style!
The cocktail week was very good. It brought in some new customers. It also brought people out and gave them something to do when coming to town city centre
I think it is great to get bars on the publics map and pulling people in that wont usually attend really good bars around Nottingham.
Cocktail Week was a fantastic opportunity for us as a new, independently owned business in Nottingham. It allowed us to showcase our signature cocktail and highlight the talent and passion of our amazing team. The support and buzz it generated across the city was truly inspiring
Participating in Cocktail Week has been a fantastic boost for our business. It not only brought in new customers but also helped us strengthen ties with the local community.
