Also, for the first time, the Bristol Cocktail Week team are asking people to vote for their favourite bars in four categories:

Best Atmosphere, Best Service, Best Cocktail List, Best All Round Bar

The winner of the Bristol Cocktail Cup (and, therefore, Bristol’s Best Bartender 2014) will be decided through a series of knock out  heats which will take place all day on Monday, 20th October.
