events overview

The fifth annual San Francisco Cocktail Week is bigger and better than ever. We’ve packed a dizzying array of special events, seminars, dinners and after parties into a mere seven days. From Monday afternoon through Sunday night, we've got you covered.

Main Events

We've partnered with the world's best spirits companies as well as an array of community partners and venues to celebrate the Bay Area and West Coast's liquid culture, cocktail heritage and bar talent. For seven straight days we'll host series of extraordinary special events, such as the Best of the West showcase, Barbary Coast Bazaar, The Legends Awards, Shaker & Flask, the East Bay Showdown and much, much more.

Seminars

A league of extraordinary bartenders and distillers will curate and lead a series of compelling seminars throughout the week, with something for everyone – whether you're cocktail-curious or an experienced pro.

Dining Events

Produced in collaboration with an elite roster of San Francisco and East Bay restaurants, Dining Events will feature cocktails created by the the area's best bartenders highlighting one specific spirit, such as pisco or gin, rum or tequila. Each concoction will be paired with the cuisine of our region's best chefs, on two very special nights in restaurants across the Bay Area.

After Parties

Party after another party? Why, of course. We're sure this year's After Parties will be nothing short of legendary.
