Where can you find £5 cocktails during Perth Cocktail Week?

Perth Cocktail Week will return to the city from Friday May 23 to Sunday June 1.

Last year’s inaugural event brought in over £260,000 to the local economy, proving that this event can have a real impact on the city’s food and drink businesses.

The businesses that have signed up to take part in this year’s event, including Crido’s, Kisa’s and The Bank Bar, are hoping for a similarly lucrative week this time around.

Event organiser and director of M.ad Agency, Alice Christison is confident this year’s event will be a success.

Alice said: “Year 2 of Perth Cocktail Week will be bigger and better; we’re thrilled that Perth & Kinross Council are behind the event to drive support to the city centre and its venues.”

Many venues have signed up for the event, including some of the best pubs and bars in Perth.

Eric Drysdale, Perth and Kinross Council economy and infrastructure convener, said: “We’re lucky to have such a great range of restaurants and bars in Perth and Kinross.

“Perth Cocktail Week is a great opportunity for people to revisit their favourite venues – or try somewhere new.”

Wherever they end up, customers will be able to enjoy some excellent cocktails like The Twa Tams’ Berry Me in Sangria. This drink is made with Cointreau, white wine, blueberry syrup, lime and ginger ale, orange, blueberry and raspberry.

And it’s not just about the cocktails. Many restaurants are pulling out all the stops when it comes to food. Kisa’s, for example, will be serving bar snacks, including pulled pork loaded fries, for just £3.30.

How to get £5 cocktails

Customers must purchase a wristband and wear it when visiting the participating venues to enjoy the discounts.

Wristbands can be collected from Perth Theatre, Tuesday to Sunday 10am to 6pm. They can also be picked up from Kisa’s anytime between 12pm and 8:30pm, seven days a week.
