THIRSTY THURSDAY COCKTAIL MAKING CLASS AT BLACKSHEEP IRISH COCKTAIL BAR

We tried out this cocktail making class and it was so much fun! To access Blacksheep you enter the doors located beside Brazen and take the elevator on the right to the third floor.

Mingle with guests during 90 minutes of mixology 101, complete with tasty snacks! From building to shaking, this class is a fun and educational experience with expert bartenders who will equip you with all the tools and ingredients you need to become your own personal bartender.

The cocktails were standard crowd favourites and the cucumber bites were great for the vegans of the crowd, overall it was a good time and we would definitely recommend it for couples and groups looking to up their bartending game!

$65/pp + tax + auto gratuity

SUSHI MAKING CLASS & SUSHI KARAOKE AT ROLL THIS WAY SUSHI
