My husband and I were in town for just one day and wanted to do something fun. After a quick Google search for local activities, I came across the “Sip History Speakeasy” — and I was instantly intrigued. Although the original venue was under construction and the event had to be moved, any worries I had quickly disappeared once we arrived. Jack was fantastic! He not only shared the fascinating history behind classic cocktails but also explained how and why each was created. We absolutely recommend this experience!

Speak Easy Fun!

We learned a lot about the history of cocktails and how to create some great drinks. Loved the easy recipes, the explainers regarding acids, balance, shaking, strainers, and the hands-on opportunity to try it ourselves. We had a lot of laughs!

What a fun time!

Fun experience

This was a lot of fun. Dominic was knowledgable, fun, and engaging. We learned some interesting things about cocktail making and bar techniques while having some really good drinks. We got to put our new skills to work and made our own cocktails at the end. Well worth the price of admission.

Dominic is a cocktail Legend

Highly recommend. Our class was mid week, and only 2 people. Yet They still held the class (!!!), it was more 1:1 and wonderful. Dominic gave us great tips, history, and personalized the session to our tastes (no gin lol). Book this- you’ll learn some cool things and drink very good cocktails

Great Cocktail Adventure

Gavin and Jack were awesome. I learned a lot, laughed a lot and shook my A. S. S. a lot!! It was cool getting to stand behind the bar and make a cocktail with their help.
