Golden hour just got a major upgrade. This May, Aperol is bringing its iconic orange-hued serve to bars and restaurants across the UK with the launch of its nationwide “Spritz at Six” activation — a limited-time celebration designed to usher in terrace season, bank holiday socialising, and after-work aperitivo culture.
Running until 31 May, the campaign spans nearly 2,000 venues nationwide, offering discounted Aperol Spritzes from as little as £5, alongside 2-for-1 deals and specially curated aperitivo menus.
What is Aperol “Spritz at Six”?
“Spritz at Six” is Aperol’s nationwide push to encourage friends, colleagues and city-goers to come together at the golden hour moment — 6pm — and enjoy one of the UK’s most popular cocktails.
The Aperol Spritz, made with Aperol, prosecco and soda, is widely recognised as the #1 cocktail served in venues across Great Britain*, making it a staple of British bar culture as the weather warms up.
The campaign is running across pubs, rooftop bars, and restaurants nationwide, making it easier than ever to find a post-work spritz deal near you.

Bank Holidays, Terrace Season & Aperitivo Culture
As UK cities move into full terrace season, “Spritz at Six” is positioning itself as a key part of the May social calendar — especially across bank holiday weekends.
The campaign also leans into the rising popularity of aperitivo culture, the Italian tradition of pre-dinner drinks and light bites designed for socialising at sunset. Aperol, in particular, has become a global symbol of this ritual thanks to its vibrant colour and refreshing flavour profile.
With longer evenings and warmer temperatures, venues are encouraging guests to turn the 6pm hour into a daily social moment.
Where to Find Spritz at Six Near You
Nearly 2,000 UK venues are participating in the campaign, with offers varying by location, day and time.
A full interactive map of participating bars and restaurants — including all terms and conditions — is available via Aperol’s official campaign listings and selected partner venues.
(Tip: check with individual venues in advance as availability and pricing may vary.)
