Forget the frost, because this festival brings the fire! The 2026 Jersey City Whiskey & Spirits Festival is set to light up your winter on Saturday January 31, 2026 at 6:00pm sharp. Make your way to the Harborside Atrium, mere steps from the waterfront, and get ready for a night where top-tier spirits flow and the energy is unmatched.
Grab your $19 GA Ticket (a $70 value) that gets you admission to this incredible sip-tacular, complete with 3.5 Hours of Unlimited Tastings of 100+ Different Whiskies, Bourbons, Single-Malt Scotches, and Ryes, as well as a Small Selection of Vodkas, Tequilas, Gins, and more!
Picture artisanal spirits drawn from hand-selected casks, each bottle brimming with craftsmanship. From the layered charm of Bardstown Bourbon & the smoky swagger of Root Out, to the bold punch of Glen Moray & the gritty elegance of Fort Hamilton, every sip tells a story. Local legends, global icons, and everything in between will keep your souvenir tasting glass in constant rotation, each refill a fresh stop on your flavor journey.
Of course, the night isn’t just fueled by whiskey, it's powered by vibes. Live music will pulse through the scene as you discover your new favorite dram. And when you’re ready to pair those pours with something delicious, dive into gourmet treats like melty Mozzarepas, butter-kissed lobster rolls from Angry Archies, and plenty more (for purchase) to keep your palate partying.
And the real magic? It happens at the source. Wander up to the distillers themselves and let them pull back the curtain on their craft, every technique, every tale, every inspired spark behind what’s in your glass.
Walk away with new favorites, new knowledge, and maybe a bottle (or three) destined for your bar cart...
When winter rolls in, the 2026 Jersey City Whiskey & Spirits Festival is your official cold-weather getaway, acting as a toasty retreat where every pour heats things up from the inside out. And with Harborside Atrium sitting steps from the Hudson, you’ll sip your way through a global lineup of spirits before gazing at the Manhattan skyline glittering across the water. Think waterfront glow, city lights dancing, and your glass ever filled.
Backed by the legends who brought you the Brooklyn Whiskey Festival and the New York City Wine Festival, this night is crafted to impress. Expect an all-star lineup of spirits that span small-batch makers, renowned distillers, and hidden gems from faraway corners of the world.
Whether you’ve got a collector’s palate or you’re simply whiskey-curious, you’ll find something to fall for, be it luxuriously smooth bourbons, spicy ryes that hit with attitude, plus gins, vodkas, and rums, just to name a few. With every stop, your keepsake tasting glass stays perpetually brimming with standouts like Rampur Indian Whisky, Bronx Bull Bourbon, Root Out Whisky, Railroad Distillery - the list goes on & on!
Tasting notes will wow, silky textures will linger, and your senses will savor the clarity that only true craftsmanship can deliver. Sip, swoon, repeat. And because great sips deserve great bites, the food lineup brings pure comfort-meets-indulgence. Think lobster rolls that play shockingly well with Scotch, plus more savory delights designed to keep your taste buds wide awake (for purchase).
Of course, no night on the Jersey City waterfront is complete without a soundtrack. Live music keeps the energy bright, the beats bouncing off the Hudson, and your feet tapping as you wander between distillers, tasting tables, and maybe even a few games. Let's do this...
