A Week for St. Louis Cocktails
St. Louis Cocktail Week is your invitation to explore the city and raise a glass to the bars and bartenders that make our local cocktail scene special. For one week only, 50 participating locations will serve exclusive $8 cocktails, giving you the perfect reason to discover a new favorite or revisit a neighborhood classic.
Follow your own cocktail trail from hidden gems to nationally recognized bar programs, meet the people behind each pour, and experience the creativity shaping St. Louis hospitality. Every cocktail supports a local business and celebrates the people who make our city worth toasting.
2026 Ambassador
Tim Wiggins
Yellowbelly, Lazy Tiger and Extra Wavy
Every great cocktail city has people who help define it, and for St. Louis, Tim Wiggins is one of them. The mind behind Yellowbelly, Lazy Tiger, and Extra Wavy has spent years making our bar scene more creative, more welcoming, and a whole lot more fun. We’re raising a glass to Tim as the 2026 St. Louis Cocktail Week Ambassador.
“I still remember the first cocktail I had at Yellowbelly. The “Lazy Tiger” changed the way I think about cocktails and led to my love for mezcal. I consistently find myself at the bar at one of Tim’s establishments and we’re excited to have him this year.”
— Luke Farrell, owner of Sauce Magazine
