Register for DC Cocktail Week 2023

DC Cocktail Week celebrates our local cocktail culture across the Metropolitan region featuring tasty cocktails paired with delicious bites for one price. Our 7-day promotion will lead into Repeal Day, this year marks the 90th anniversary of the Repeal of Prohibition in the United States on December 5, 1933. We invite you to be part of this spirited promotion highlighting your cocktail program! You can also opt-in to spotlight your restaurant through an event during the week to further engage diners and fuel their cocktail (including zero proof) interests through your cocktail culture experience.
 
Participating locations determine the cocktail and bite pairing and the price point of their offer. All participating locations are included in our extensive marketing campaign utilizing RAMW’s direct marketing, online and social media platforms, advertising buys, and media engagement reaching a combined audience of 300K+ locals.
