Two beer steins tipped toward each other mid-toast, foam still sitting on top of both. It's the group version of 'cheers,' used for hanging out with friends, celebrating something small, or just marking the start of a night out, less formal and less expensive-feeling than its champagne-glass counterpart.
What 🍻 means
A pair of beer steins similar to the 🍺 Beer Mug emoji, but smaller to accommodate both mugs being held towards each other. The 🍻 Clinking Beer Mugs emoji largely signifies 'Cheers!'. It can also suggest two or more people hanging out, drinking some beer, and relaxing.
How and when to use it
- If you wish to virtually emote 'Cheers' in any given context; like something smart someone said, or an idea both you and your best friend approved at the same time or even while bidding goodbye to that short-lived online friend, you can use 🍻 in all those conversations.
- Besides, the same emotion of screaming 'Cheers!' can be used in many other textual formats apart from chats; post captions, or even while commenting on social media posts.
- For instance, if you came across a post that emitted loads of good vibes, you can use 🍻 while commenting on it. Or, if you're posting a picture of yourself that needs to have a beer or cheers-based caption, use this emoji - like, "Cheers to all the good times🍻".
- Also, 🍻 can be used while sending birthday and anniversary wishes or even while raising those virtual toasts.

🍻 in real conversations
What does 🍻 mean as a reply to good news?
A toast, sent instead of typed-out congratulations — "that's worth a drink" without actually needing one nearby. It works as a complete response entirely on its own: no caption required, just the two mugs clinking to mark that something good just happened to someone you actually like.
Is there a Japanese word for "cheers" that goes with 🍻?
Yes — kanpai, the standard toast said before the first sip in Japan, roughly meaning "dry the cup." It's a close match for what 🍻 depicts, and group after-work drinking is enough of a fixture of Japanese social life that the toast and the emoji land on almost exactly the same moment.
Does a bare 🍻 with nothing else attached actually count as an invite?
It's a plan, not a comment — "let's grab a drink" sent with nothing else attached, because two mugs clinking already implies people, not just beer sitting alone. It doesn't need a time or place to work; on its own it reads as an invitation waiting on a yes.
