Behind the Bar is a cocktail making class in Melbourne that’s interactive, hands-on, and held in the kind of hidden bar you’d usually only discover by word of mouth.
Led by a working bartender, you’ll shake, stir and sip your way through a relaxed two-hour session. You’ll begin with a welcome drink and a grazing board. Then, with guidance, you’ll make two cocktails of your choice. Best of all, no experience is needed — just bring your curiosity and enthusiasm.
Because we cap the class at 15 guests, there’s plenty of opportunity for questions, laughs and personal attention. Throughout the class, you’ll create great drinks and even better memories.
Want to keep the fun going?
Simply add the optional upgrade when booking and enjoy a 6:30 p.m. banquet dinner at Seamstress restaurant for just $60 (normally $70).
Whether you’re celebrating something special or just after a unique night out, this cocktail making class in Melbourne is a brilliant way to kick off your Saturday night.
If you have any questions about the class, feel free to contact us – we’d love to help!

Other Information:
The experience includes a welcome cocktail, a grazing board, and the chance to make two cocktails of your choice with guidance from an expert bartender.
Guests can upgrade their booking to include a $60 3-course banquet dinner at Seamstress (normally $70). Dinner begins at 6:30 p.m., and must be booked in advance. Drinks are not included with dinner.
Guests arriving late may miss part of the experience and might not be able to make both cocktails.
Intoxicated guests will be refused entry or removed from the class without a refund.
You must be over 18 to join this experience, but there’s no upper limit – you’re never too old to shake the tins!
You can upgrade your experience to include 3-course banquet dinner in the restaurant at Seamstress at 6:30pm. You are welcome to remain in the bar where your class was run until that time, or your host can recommend other great bars nearby.
Apart from the welcome cocktail which is the bartenders choice, the two cocktails you make yourself will be selected based on your preferred flavour profile. Whilst we obviously need to work within what is available, if there are 10 people taking part in the experience, theoretically we could make 20 different cocktails. You’ll be guided every step of the way by the expert bartender leading the class.
