Hannah McConnachie, Business Development Manager for the Signature Group:
‘We are thoroughly looking forward to welcoming Aberdeen Cocktail Week across our three venues. This will be a great event for the city and will hopefully encourage more footfall into the city centre across the week. We have found both Cocktail Weeks in Edinburgh & Glasgow to be hugely popular and beneficial for businesses. We are also looking forward to hosting some events with some amazing brands!’
Emma Davidson, Events Manager for the OGV Taproom:
"OGV Taproom are thrilled to be one of the venues involved in this year's Aberdeen Cocktail Week and join other fantastic establishments to celebrate everything that goes into making great cocktails. Collaboration is one of our core values and being able to partner with other businesses who are passionate about the hospitality industry and championing Aberdeen as a top destination, it made perfect sense to join ACW. We look forward to seeing all of the cocktail creations from local talent, the array of events lined up for the week and of course, welcoming you all to enjoy everything we have to offer at OGV Taproom!"
Stuart McPhee, Director for Siberia:
“About time, we are incredibly excited to be part of this! Aberdeen joins the illustrious destinations that host their own cocktail week. The city has a proud, hard-working and innovative hospitality sector that deserves to be celebrated. We have seen how successful it can be in places like Edinburgh and hopefully, it can bring that success to the granite city and grow in years to come!”
Gregor Sey, Organiser of Aberdeen Cocktail Week:
“Aberdeen is home to so many great bars, restaurants and drink brands. Aberdeen Cocktail Week aims to celebrate what the city has to offer by introducing people to new and exciting venues they may otherwise not visit and making Aberdeen known as a destination for superb hospitality.”
