From Monday 17th to Sunday 23rd October, Bristol will play host to a series of spirited (geddit?) events, allowing you to experience the finest tipples in locations ranging from the city’s classiest bars to an old fire station,but if buildings are a bit passé, you can hop on a bus for a booze-tastic tour of Bristol, or play crazy golf while quaffing rum cocktails – how good does that all sound??
This year’s festival also features a mixology map, guiding you around 20 bars across several themed zones, which will rustle you up an exclusive cocktail for that week only.
Here are my picks for the week’s events, but you can see the full event listings at the Bristol Cocktail Week 2016 website, or follow their updates up to and during the festival on Twitter and Instagram.

A classy event, this one. Nab your seat at cosy speakeasy Hyde & Co and enjoy three gin cocktails alongside some top notch jazz. If you’re feeling in the need of something even snazzier, check out the Gin Dinner at The Pump House that evening instead.
