Portland Cocktail Week is where bartenders network, learn, and take big strides toward the next step in their careers.


After a lot of thought, we’ve made the difficult decision to pause Portland Cocktail Week until 2027.

To everyone who applied, planned to attend, or was looking forward to joining us this year, we’re truly sorry. We did everything we could to make this year’s event happen, but we couldn’t promise the experience our community deserves, and that never felt right.

While PDXCW is taking a brief pause, Lush Life isn’t.

We’ll still be bringing you certifications, educational programming, and events throughout the year, and we’re already hard at work making PDXCW 2027 our best one yet.

To ensure Portland Cocktail Week offers the highest level and most diverse bar business class offerings, we invite experts to curate informative, engaging, and valuable classes that will best guide our students to the next phase of their careers.

what began in 2012 as an in-person event has grown into virtual classes, spirit certifications, bartending competitions, and a thriving community of connected bar professionals.
