Cocktails in the City Reviews 

I’ve been to CitC for the last 5 years and I’ve never had a bad night there until now.
- many of the cocktails ran out in the first 2 hours.
- at least three bartenders were drunk after a couple of hours leading to very poor service.
- the food vans were shambolic: disorganised, slow, and ran out of food options.

Nicely decorated garden and reasonably priced cocktails (£10). There seemed to be a lot of gin/whiskey based cocktails, would like to see more variety. Unfortunately the atmosphere was spoiled by the live singer doing cover songs. It’s far too loud and should just be regular music or live jazz with no singer.

Amazing vibes, delicious cocktails, beautiful decoration, and all the fun activities on the side! What else?

Good variety, friendly staff

Love the vibe with the live music, the best bars in town and great activities. Great mocktails as well ! I come every year ! Looking forward for 2025

such a great experience at this years cocktails in the city! was fantastic to see each bar's cocktails and to have it made in front of me.. was like an immersive experience but outdoors!! so much fun

Went in July and it was great.
Returned in September and there were too many people - cocktails were running out by 8pm.
Also - there were children the second time around. Having to carefully dodge kids running around the place like lunatics whilst carrying cocktails was extremely irritating. Parents were too busy drinking to care what their kids were up to.

Love cocktails in the city - getting a chance to discover new bars and try new drinks, with live music, food, and other fun events all in one place is just a perfect evening for a cocktail lover

I really enjoyed cocktails in the city! Went three times this summer and it was such a good vibe each time! Tried a cocktail class, loved the piano works music and had lots of amazing cocktails! Would love some more food/dessert options next year, as had to leave early one night to hunt for churros!

Brilliant event! Great venue & great range of bars. Always love cocktail making & the great drinks.

Fantastic experience great vibe music was fantastic and the drinks were so good!!

Cocktails in the City is always one of my summer highlights. It’s so exciting to try the various cocktails and the workshops are always a lot of fun and a great deal. The July tastings were fabulous - a lot of types of alcohol I usually wouldn’t drink but every single tasting was exceptional. We had a ton of fun doing the ice carving too. It was incredibly satisfying to make our own ice balls. The staff at all the bars are always very friendly and knowledgable about the alcohols. There are also tons of fun, hidden little games. It’s really an exceptional afternoon.

Had a great time, the staff were friendly at every bar we went to and the music was good.
Will definitely head back next year!

This is our second year at the event and it did not disappoint. Yet again the bars and entertainment was fantastic. This year with the tokens made getting drinks even easier. This year we took our eldest son and my sister and her partner. They also enjoyed and have asked us to book them tickets again for next year. The atmosphere is chilled and mellow.

Super cool event. Beautiful setting and perfect balance of chill out spaces and great music . Amazing cocktails - great value for money

Such a good event, a great way to discover the best bars in london, listen to live music and enjoy new cocktails.

Another great year.
Such a great mix of bars & fantastic cocktails to try.
The mix of music at the Disco was great & kept the energy going!

Cocktails in the City was a great experience, recommended to us by friends! We really enjoyed learning about unique liquors from around the world and getting to the ice carving workshop. We had one friend who was not drinking and there was a wide selection of NA/mocktails as well!
