No cocktail week really feels complete without a festival village, where brand booths line the space with samples, new releases, and cocktails poured one after another. It’s where the pace shifts—less formal, more fluid—with people moving between stations, tasting as they go, and settling into conversations that stretch a little longer than planned. There’s always something happening, whether it’s a quick pour, a hands-on activation, or simply the chance to see how different brands and bars choose to present themselves in one shared space. The village for Kuala Lumpur Cocktail Week 2026 took place at Sentul Depot as a one-day-only event, drawing a steady crowd throughout the day. It felt focused yet lively, with enough movement to keep things engaging without tipping into chaos—another solid showing from the organising team. The week wrapped with an after-party at Lane 23, where Ryan Dela Vega of Aqua Bar stepped in behind the bar, easing the crowd into a more relaxed rhythm. Drinks continued to flow, but the energy softened into something more celebratory than structured, as the industry gathered for one last round before the night tapered off, bringing Kuala Lumpur Cocktail Week to a close.
