LONDON, United Kingdom — Over 50 bars from the Philippines and around the world comprise the line-up for Philippine Cocktail Week (PCW), dubbed the country's largest gathering of cocktail bars.

There will be 28 local and global bars each taking over areas of Bonifacio Global City, Quezon City, San Juan and Makati (Legazpi Village, Makati Cinema Square, Poblacion, Jupiter) — a stark contrast from usual cocktail festival that takes place in a singular place — from February 5 to 8.

A portion of the international bars include World’s 50 Best Bars and Asia’s 50 Best Bars award recipients such as Hong Kong's COA, South Korea's Zest, Japan's Virtu, China's Hope & Sesame, and Thailand's Vesper, Dry Wave Cocktail Studio and Bar Us.

"This is the first time Manila has welcomed this depth and caliber of international bar talent in a single week, working alongside local bars as collaborators," said a PCW representative in a statement.

"Philippine Cocktail Week reflects a new chapter in Filipino hospitality — one where the city opens its doors with confidence, generosity, and a strong sense of identity."

Maya Black and Grab will assist in putting PCW together as well as a number of beverage partners including Arc Archipelago, Don Julio Blanco, Don Papa Rum, Glenfiddich, Hendrick's, Jameson, Johnnie Walker Black Ruby, Monkey Shoulder, Nikka, and Singha.
