Diageo Reserve’s World Class has announced that the global World Class Cocktail Festival is coming to Ireland for the first time in 2023.

The spirit brand is bringing a host of acts, venues and experiences to attendees in over 50 bars and venues in Dublin, with key events taking place nationwide. Taking place from 4 to 6 May 2023, the World Class Festival’s line-up features international and Irish names in the food-and-drink arena, ahead of the World Class Irish Final on Monday 8 May.

This festival will take place at several restaurants and bars across the nation.

Some of the key experiences include a Tanqueray tasting with brand ambassador Pippa Guy at House Dublin, where attendees are invited to consume a set menu of cocktails. Ketel One will host a sustainability-led cocktail- and food-pairing experience aimed at zero waste, taking place in Bovinity Dublin, along with whiskey tastings and cocktails hosted by Roe & Co Distillery’s whiskey experts.

The World Champion Bartender, Adrián Michalčík, will be guest-appearing at Cask, in Cork, and 9 Below, in Dublin, showcasing a mix of cocktails, while BAR 1661 will have its own guest appearances.
