What you'll do

Sip and Settle In

Arrive and feel welcomed into a stylish and relaxed setting, greeted by your expert mixologist and fellow cocktail lovers.

Ready, Set, Mix

You’ll be provided with all the tools of the trade — shakers, jiggers, muddlers — and a vibrant array of fresh garnishes, herbs, and premium spirits as you prepare to mix your first drink.

Shake, Stir and Pour

With expert tips and demos from your teacher, you’ll learn how to shake, stir, and strain like a pro. Pick two cocktails from our delicious menu (mocktails are available too!).

Garnish and Taste

Learn how to garnish using citrus twists, fresh herbs, or lemon peel, adding that perfect final touch to your drink.

Sip and Snack

With your signature cocktail in hand, take a moment to sip and savor. Enjoy it alongside tasty snacks like fresh guacamole and crunchy tortilla chips.

Relax and Enjoy

Feel free to stay after the class, order another round (with a discount!), and enjoy your delicious creations with great company.

Shake, stir, and sip inside a hidden cocktail lounge in NoMad, where you’ll learn the art of making craft cocktails from expert bartenders in a chic speakeasy setting.

In this hands-on cocktail making class in NYC, you’ll step behind the bar and learn how to create two craft cocktails using premium spirits, fresh ingredients, house-made syrups, and professional bar tools. Your bartender instructor will guide you through each drink with demonstrations, technique tips, and easy-to-follow advice so you can recreate the experience at home.

During the class, you and your guests will enjoy the cocktails you make, along with a fresh order of guacamole and chips to snack on throughout the experience. Whether you’re shaking, stirring, garnishing, or simply enjoying the atmosphere, this class is designed to feel more like a memorable night out than a traditional lesson.

Perfect for date nights, birthdays, corporate team building, after-work outings, bachelorette parties, or anyone looking for fun things to do in NYC, this cocktail class offers a polished, interactive experience in one of the city’s most intimate speakeasy-style lounges.

No bartending experience is needed. Just bring your group, enjoy the afternoon/evening, and leave with new cocktail skills, a few insider tips, and two drinks you’ll be proud to say you made yourself.

5/5 from Thomas Barron, attended Oct 2026: Jose was a great instructor. We had a class of eight students and everyone had a great time! Jose took us through making two cocktails, explained the process and gave us the ‘behind the scenes’ bartender’s reasoning for how to make a great cocktail. We learned a lot and enjoyed the fruit of our labor!
5/5 from Kiara Triana, attended Aug 2026: This class was amazing. Our teacher Eric was very kind and kept us engaged throughout the class. He explained the drinks and the steps very well. I especially like that after we made our drinks we were given time in between both drinks to drinks and enjoy them. Honestly a very beautiful experience.Thank you again!
5/5 from Erin Barrett, attended Aug 2026: Had a great time! Owner knew his stuff and was super detailed in his explanations and instructions. Cocktails tasted amazing (even though I’m not a fan of whiskey it was honestly the best old fashioned I’ve tasted). We would 1000% do this again and would just come back to the boardroom for a drink in general. Thank you for a great time!
5/5 from Alan Levin, attended Aug 2026: The Craft Cocktail Making Class was so fun! I rarely give reviews but this class earned one. Our instructor, Jose, did a great job of explaining each step and made the process fun. The drinks we created were great and it was easy to see us recreating them at home. This is a really fun activity for a date.
5/5 from Gil Oren, attended Aug 2026: What a fantastic evening. We learned how to make GREAT drinks with Eric’s guidance. Eric is a consummate professional who knows the craft, knows his customer and turns a regular night to a memorable experience!! Definitely coming back, and with friends! Thank you so much!

5/5 from Afia Stuart, attended Jul 2026: This class was excellent! The instructor really took his time to explain to use how to make the drinks and also answered any questions that we may have. We made cucumber margaritas and a lemon zest tequila. I really liked the cucumber drink and would def go back.
5/5 from Maribeth Mason, attended Jul 2026: This class was excellent! Eric was very helpful in guiding us through the steps for each cocktail.

5/5 from Josh Cohen, attended Jul 2026: Eric, our teacher, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and helped us make great cocktails. An experience I would do again.
5/5 from Robyn Zhang, attended Jun 2026: super fun class!!
3/5 from David Lingenbrink, attended Jun 2026: Really liked the host, but it was significantly different than the event we'd booked. We'd been told we'd choose from a menu of cocktails to make (the event listing even included them), but instead we were told the cocktails we'd be making (which were good!). Additionally, the event mentioned the experience would come with the two drinks we'd make and chips/quac... but we were never offered chips/quac. Disappointing, but still enjoyed the experience.
5/5 from Krysten Tachiyama, attended May 2026: My family and I had such a great time taking this class. Our instructor, Eric, was incredibly engaging and knowledgeable, making the whole experience feel relaxed and interactive while still teaching us a ton about cocktails and technique. You can tell he really loves what he does. Highly recommend!
5/5 from Derek Peltz, attended May 2026: Jose and Eric were amazing instructors and the cocktails were delicious! Will be going back again.
5/5 from Taylor Rowan, attended Apr 2026: Had such an amazing experience at J. Bespoke with Eric for a private mixology cocktail class! He was super cool, funny, patient, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun from start to finish. With his guidance, we made hands down the BEST margarita I’ve ever had. He knows his stuff! And you can really tell he loves his craft. He made the experience approachable and enjoyable even if you’re not experienced with cocktails. One of the best parts was getting to enjoy our delicious drinks afterward in the comfort of his beautiful bar and venue. It was such an intimate, classy atmosphere. It honestly felt like a hidden gem experience in the city. Can’t wait to come back next time we’re in the big city. Highly recommend!
5/5 from Kristen, attended Apr 2026: Great class!!!

5/5 from Min Yoo, attended Feb 2026: The class was great! Our instructor was very knowledgeable and it was a great team building experience for my company!
4/5 from Alexis Colucci, attended Feb 2026: Loved the teacher and had a great class - Description just said chips and guac and choice of cocktail which did not occur. I was a little hesitant on the class price and it was those that sold me - I was slightly disappointed as I can’t have the alcohol chosen for tbe chosen cocktail and only ended up having one. Great class but a little misleading
5/5 from Kwasi Ferkah, attended Jan 2026: Instructor was as great as the drinks we made! Highly recommended
5/5 from Maria Isabel Ferreras Matos, attended Jan 2026: It was a wonderful experience. Eric was an awesome teacher.

After the class we stayed at the bar to enjoyed some delicious drinks. I would definitely recommend this class. Great place, great drinks and awesome vibes.

5/5 from Sophie Farnham, attended Oct 2025: Eric was amazing! he was swift and accommodating to our group and they had nothing but rave reviews.
5/5 from Robert M Morizio, attended Sep 2025: Great atmosphere & company. Eric was an excellent & informative instructor. We made 2 cocktails: Spicy Paloma & Old Fashioned. Drinks were excellent and we got to enjoy them in the main bar - a beautiful mid-century style speakeasy. Would recommend to couples and groups of friends looking for an elevated way to day drink!

5/5 from Guo Chen, attended Apr 2025: This was our first cocktail making class, and honestly we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Eric was very clear in instructions, patient, and informative, and the two drinks turned out amazing! Would highly recommend!!
5/5 from Margaret Jones, attended Mar 2025: Absolutely amazing experience at J Bespoke’s craft mixology class! I learned so much thanks to our incredible instructor, Eric, who made everything fun, easy to follow, and super engaging. The cocktails were delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Whether you're a beginner or a cocktail enthusiast, this class is 100% worth it. Highly recommend signing up — you won’t regret it!
5/5 from Tatiana Malina, attended Mar 2025: We loved our cocktail making class with Eric, it was a lot of fun and definitely a new and exciting experience. The cocktails he suggested making were spot-on and unique. Highly recommend!
5/5 from Jessica Stumacher, attended Mar 2025: Booked this class for my sister in laws bachelorette! It was about 25 girls & everyone absolutely loved it. The class was a lot of fun, we played music and were able to dance around. Also, the drinks were delicious!!!! 10/10!
5/5 from Christopher Eskender, attended Mar 2025: We learned how to make two drinks from scratch – the Eastside and the French Martini – and both turned out incredible. The instructor was knowledgeable, fun, and made the whole experience feel approachable, even for beginners. It wasn’t just about following a recipe; we really got into the why behind each ingredient, from muddling fresh mint and cucumber for the Eastside to mastering the perfect shake for that silky French Martini. The atmosphere was relaxed and interactive, and it felt like a perfect mix of learning and having a great time. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and fun night out – whether you’re a cocktail newbie or already know your way around a bar.
5/5 from Ka-Mya Thomas, attended Mar 2025: Me and my best friend went to celebrate her birthday. The teacher, Eric, was excellent! We had fun but at the same time, Eric made sure to share his knowledge. He kept it professional, fascinating, and interesting. We’ll definitely be back during regular hours and for another private class. The private class definitely gives it that VIP experience. The drinks were good and definitely something we can do at home. A drink is brought to life much more when you know the history and balance of it. Thank you Eric for making our experience more than what we hoped!!!
4/5 from Samantha Charite, attended Mar 2025: We got there 30 minutes late and missed the first part of the class (they only make 2 cocktails so we only got to make one... kind of wished did at least 3 - 4 for the price compared to some cheaper classses) but it was still good nonethless!
