Sister platform of 30 Best Bars India

One weekend, one island: the Cocktail Weekend

Guest shifts, takeovers, masterclasses and limited-edition serves at participating bars across Sri Lanka.

Golden cocktails raised at a party

Leading up to the Best Bars Sri Lanka Awards, the celebration will extend beyond the awards night into a weekend-long festival of cocktails, spirits and hospitality, bringing consumers closer to the country’s most exciting bars, bartenders and beverage brands.

Across participating venues, guests will be invited to discover specially curated experiences — from exclusive cocktail menus and limited-edition serves to guest shifts, takeovers, masterclasses and tastings.

The weekend will create a platform for consumers to explore Sri Lanka’s vibrant bar scene while giving participating bars and bartenders an opportunity to showcase their creativity and connect with new audiences.

For brands

It offers an opportunity to move beyond traditional sponsorship and become part of the consumer experience — driving trial, engagement, brand affinity and on-premise visibility through meaningful experiences across the island.
