Coventry’s after-dark scene has earned Purple Flag status, meaning our nightlife is nationally recognised for being welcoming, vibrant, and well-managed. During Cocktail Week, the city comes alive with options for every type of night out:

  • Social Dining & Craft Cocktails: Start your evening at Elle's at Station Square - Coventry’s first indoor food hall, combining boutique bars with independent local kitchens. Alternatively, sample craft drinks surrounded by history at Dhillon's Spire Bar, located right inside the historic Christchurch Spire.

  • Competitive Socialising: Prefer some friendly competition with your drinks? Take your wristband to activity-packed venues like Boom Battle Bar in Broadgate for augmented reality darts and axe throwing, or head to Putt Putt Social in the Lower Precinct for Pan-Asian street food and neon-lit mini golf.

  • Boutique Bars & Glamorous Lounges: Sip cocktails against a sleek 1950s backdrop at Forme & Chase inside the Telegraph Hotel, or soak up the energy at The Yard, an award-winning venue renowned for its cabaret and warm welcome.
