Helping to beat the January Blues, Sunderland Cocktail Week is returning from January 30 to February 8, 2026.
Across the course of the 10 days, you’ll be able to take advantage of cocktail deals, ranging from £5-£7. Mocktail versions of each of the Cocktail Week drinks are also available, at a further reduction.
To access the discounts, you need to purchase a wristband which you can use across the 10 days, which you show at the participating bar to unlock that venue’s deal.
Advance wristbands are priced £9.95 plus booking fee and are available here.
There’s dozens of bars and restaurants across the city taking part and here’s our pick of just some of the drinks and deals you can tuck into, in no particular order.
