It's not just about the drinks though. There will also be 20+ food vendors on-site offering a range of tasty, drink-friendly bites to enjoy as the perfect accompaniment!
You can even grab some nibbles completely for FREE! To claim them, after you enter the fest, simply do the following:
- Show your wristband at the Kangshifu booth for a free snack.
- Visit the DUFFLANGE booth during designated hours for a complimentary slice of cake.
Check out the great lineup of food vendors below!
Three Stones Photography Studio
This year, we're also excited to welcome the famous Three Stones Photography Studio!
They'll set up a pop-up exhibition and even offer free black-and-white portrait sessions.
Pro tip: Why not swing by the studio after a couple of drinks so that you'll look more relaxed and confident (not too many, though – you don't want to look messy!).
Sanxun Chinese Cocktail Competition
The festival will also showcase the Sanxun Chinese Cocktail Competition, where 25 finalists chosen by expert judges will face off live.
You can watch the action up close, and you could even be selected as a guest judge! If chosen, you'll have the opportunity to sample a competition cocktail (for free) and give your feedback.
Each contestant will also have their own booth where you can try their entries for very reasonable prices.
All-Star Judge Lineup:
- Agung Prabowo (Jakarta, Indonesia): Founder of Penicillin (multi-year Asia's 50 Best Bars honoree)
- Match Chan (Hong Kong, China): Founder of Sugar Area, Auburn Dragon, Black Glove (Shanghai)
- Paul Zhang (Chinese Mainland): Sanxun Tea Spirit Asia-Pacific Ambassador; first Chinese mixologist to showcase Chinese cocktails in both London and Berlin
2025 People's Favorite Bar Award
Watching is only half the fun, though; you can also join in on the action!
Each visitor will be given a voting card. If you love a bar, then drop your vote in their box. Remember there's only one vote per person, so choose wisely!
The bar with the most votes after three days will win the 2025 People's Favorite Bar Award!
Interactive Fun
For those who rate their drinking abilities highly, why not take on the Bacchus Challenge?
For every drink you buy at the fest, you'll get a stamp from the bar on your event guide map. Be one of the first 100 people each day to collect 12 stamps, and you can trade it in for a limited edition Bacchus Cap and a commemorative cake from DUFFLANGE. Plus, you'll even appear on the big screen!
Remember, only the first 100 people each day can claim the prize, so you'll need to be quick if you want to prove your legendary status!
That's not all the fun in store though. There will also be “How tipsy are you?” tests, bar games, live bands, DJ performances and more!
For all the cocktail lovers out there, this is one event you don't want to miss. It only happens once a year, so don’t wait. Grab your tickets now!
