The tagline for the Montreal Cocktail Fest is “Montreal becomes a cocktail city.” But Montreal has long been a cocktail city. Between the speakeasies of the Old Port, the world-renowned cocktail bars, and the Spritz de Provence on the summer menu at the Four Seasons Hotel Montreal bar, there’s plenty to do.
For five days, from Wednesday, June 3 to Sunday, June 7, 2026, however, the city of Montreal will truly live up to its reputation as a cocktail city, because all the bars, bartenders, and the coolest mixologists on the island will be participating in the Montreal Cocktail Fest.
In addition to the drinks, there will be seminars, pop-ups, brand activations, and parties. We’ll be there, of course, in cocktail dresses.
Cocktails and the World
The world’s best bartenders are coming to Montreal to showcase their most famous and delicious creations. At Montreal’s The Cold Room cocktail bar, for the Montreal Cocktail Fest, there will be pop-ups from Double Chicken Please ( New York), Line ( Athens), and Three Sheets ( London).
In total, there will be about twenty events and pop-ups at Montreal’s cocktail bars during the five days of the Montreal Cocktail Fest. To sample the cocktail creations during the festival, there’s an interactive map of all participating bars and venues—view it here.
