Any time, anywhere, for groups of any size, we pride ourselves on offering 100% interactivity through our private cocktail classes. Perfect for larger groups of six or more, our largest private class to date is 220 people, with all guests continuously and simultaneously learning the art of cocktail making and everyone being fully included throughout the class. Although our Fitzrovia base won’t quite be able to cater for a group of this size, we have plenty of larger venues nearby which would be
SMALLER GROUPS
Our public cocktail making classes run every Friday from 7-9pm at our central London location, as well as on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays at our flagship venue in Shoreditch.

You’ll be joining a wider group of other like-minded people, with a maximum of 4 guests to a bar and an average class size of 20 guests.
VIRTUAL CLASSES
Inspired by the lockdown era, our virtual classes provide an environment in which to be sociable despite the distances between us.

FAQ's
While food isn’t necessarily part of the package, it is certainly recommended. As you can imagine during two hours of making and drinking cocktails, it’s quite a good idea to line your stomachs. Even if the addition of food is a relatively last-minute decision, we will be able to cater to your needs if you get in touch with your event organiser a few hours beforehand.
Not as standard, no. However, we are able to add food to most events at most venues. At our central London location, we are able to offer a wide range of cold small plates and deli boards. If you’d also like recommendations about where to eat before or after your class, let your event organiser know and we can book a table for you as part of the service.
The disabled access at the Gallery is quite extensive, and most areas of the venue are accessible via wheelchair.
Generally, after a conversation with your event organiser about your event, you will need to put down a 30% deposit to confirm your booking and provide a home or company address to detail. This will all be sent over via email, along with the terms and conditions outlined. The final balance will be due a week before your class or event, generally once numbers are confirmed.
Once we have sent you the deposit invoice your event has been confirmed, therefore if you wish to cancel your event you must do this by email so we have written proof and you must do this at least 14 days prior to your event date to be eligible for a refund of your deposit. If you have booked your event with less than 7 days lead time, a cancellation must be received within 24 hours of your invoice being sent to avoid liability of payment.
The balance of your event must be paid 7 days before your event, if payment has not been made someone from our accounts team will contact you to make payment over the phone
Yes of course. We have catered for deaf classes before, generally the clients will have organised an interpreter. Again, let your event organiser know beforehand and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
EVENT ORGANISER
Our Shoreditch-based team will guide you from planning to post-event, with one dedicated organiser throughout. You're welcome to visit our purpose-built class space, meet your organiser, and enjoy a cocktail – or we can arrange a site visit to your chosen venue.
YOUR HOST
All our bartenders are highly trained, experienced, and brilliant at what they do. They’re friendly, enthusiastic, and genuinely lovely people to have at your event. But don’t just take our word for it – come and meet them yourself!
PHONE, EMAIL OR ORGANISE A SITE VISIT!
Some things are better said out loud – that’s why we always welcome a call, site visit or drop-in to chat with our team. Every event is unique, and we’d love to hear your ideas and help you plan the perfect experience.
Our Fitzrovia venue offers a prime central London location for hosting your cocktail making class.

Thanks to its adaptable layout, unique visual charm, and unbeatable location near the West End, The Gallery is the perfect backdrop for our cocktail making experiences – with endless options nearby for continuing the fun before, during, or after your session.
Address – 2A Conway Street, Fitzroy Square, London, W1T 6BA
Meraki Bar – Tucked away beneath the Greek restaurant Meraki in Fitzrovia, this stylish basement bar can be accessed via Foley Street, just around the corner from the main entrance. Inside, you’ll find plush seating and velvet cushions perfect for lounging with a cocktail in hand. Bar snacks can be swiftly summoned from the restaurant upstairs, and private booths offer a luxurious setting for a romantic drink or a quiet bite before or after your cocktail class.
The Remedy Wine Bar – Just a short stroll from our Fitzrovia location, this intimate wine bar is a hidden gem. Their ever-changing blackboard menu features a curated selection of wines, handpicked daily by the owner based on mood, taste, and seasonal availability. They champion small-batch producers and are always happy to recommend something special. Italian-inspired small plates complement the wine perfectly, and in fair weather, you can enjoy your glass outdoors. It’s a cosy, low-key spot ideal for dates or catching up with a few friends.
Genuine Liquorette – Inspired by the original New York basement bar of the same name, this quirky hangout redefines the bartender-customer experience. With a self-serve area featuring cocktails on tap and an order form system that delivers your drink straight to the table, it’s a fun, fast, and casual setup. Expect playful cocktails in cans with unexpected garnishes. Both the upstairs taproom and the downstairs cocktail bar offer eclectic surroundings – think New York liquor store vibes fused with the charm of an old-school Victorian pub. It’s a brilliant post-class hangout for groups looking to keep the energy going.
PRIVATE CLASSES – Any Size, Any Time, Any Location, Any Day
We’ve been running high-quality cocktail making classes for well over ten years, refining every element along the way. Through constant development and feedback, we’ve created what we truly believe to be the leading cocktail experience on the market.
While many bars offer their take on cocktail masterclasses, they often fall short. Guests are squeezed into busy venues, learning in front of strangers, and rarely get the hands-on time to fully enjoy the experience. It’s rarely built with you in mind.
WHERE?
Most of our cocktail classes take place at TT Liquor, where we have four purpose-built lounges specifically designed for this kind of event. When you arrive, everything is ready to go — no delays, no setting up — just two full hours of non-stop cocktail making in a fully equipped space.
Our rooms come in different sizes and can accommodate groups from as small as 6 to as many as 80. Prefer to host your class elsewhere? No problem. We’re fully mobile too. We bring everything — mobile bars, premium spirits, fresh ingredients, ice, glassware, and all the gear — straight to you. Whether it’s an office, a garden, or a private venue, we can transform almost any space into a cocktail bar in under 90 minutes.
EQUIPMENT & TUITION
Every bar is fully stocked, so each guest (max 5 per bar) can get stuck in for the full session — no waiting, and no watching from the sidelines. Across the four floors of TT Liquor, we’ve set up a total of 42 bars in varying configurations (3, 6, 8, or 16 per room), giving us the capacity to run full-scale sessions for up to 210 guests, all making cocktails at the same time.
Each group is led by a professional bartender, who will be your host for the entire experience. They’ll greet you with a welcome cocktail before guiding you through four signature serves, sharing pro techniques and behind-the-bar secrets to make your drinks look and taste incredible. You’ll leave with new skills — and likely a new favourite cocktail — ready to impress at your next dinner party or barbecue.
Our bartenders are top-tier professionals with extensive training in both mixology and hosting. Their role is to entertain, educate, and keep the energy high throughout. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a confident shaker, they’ll help every member of your group get the most from the session.
COMPETITION
To round off the class, we crank up the fun. Each bar group is challenged to invent their own cocktail using everything they’ve learned. It’s a fast-paced, creative showdown with your host as the judge. After taste-testing every creation, the winning team is crowned. There’s nothing like a bit of friendly competition (and five cocktails each) to bring a group together.
WHO?
Our cocktail classes are a hit with everyone from curious first-timers to budding home bartenders, aged 18 to 88. Whether it’s a birthday, team event, hen party or just an excuse to get together, we tailor every class to make it a standout occasion.
WHEN?
We run classes seven days a week, at any time that suits you. Thanks to this flexibility, we teach over 20,000 guests every year how to shake, stir and mix like the pros.
