This class was AWESOME! Eric was knowledgeable and kind. My fiancé is an armature mixologist and throughout the class answered all of our questions and helped us learn best practices for crafting our own cocktail. In addition to technique, he shared how to extract flavors and the importance of quality ingredients. Highly recommend for a private event that you want to make special and unique!

Eric was a fantastic teacher! The class was a ton of fun and educational! He went at a pace that worked for the two of us in the class and shared helpful tips! Definitely would recommend

We went for Valentine’s Day and had an amazing time. Learned a lot about cocktail making. Eric was an exceptional teacher.

Emily Boldt • Jan 2024

Awesome class! Eric was very knowledge and engaging. Our corporate group really enjoyed the setting and whole experience.

Brandon Jefferson • Jan 2024

Excellent teacher - so friendly and knowledgeable! We got to each make 2 cocktails and take home a cocktail making set. After that, you get to go to the speakeasy bar next door for more drinks/food

Alex Walters • Jan 2024

Eric was awesome. Loved getting to keep the shaker and jigger. Would definitely do again.

Julia Yepez • Sep 2023

Very cool and unique atmosphere - in a speakeasy! Eric led our class, and was so knowledgeable about the drinks and the ingredients, and passionate about the whole process. We were a group of 30 coworkers, and it was just hte right mix of structured time making drinks and social time. Also--the drinks themselves were outstanding - super fresh ingredients, and forced me to try 2 drinks that I would not have otherwise ever picked, and they tasted fantastic. I would highly recommend this mixology class for an after-work bonding event or other team event.

$150 usd per person to only create 2 drinks, that’s to lame and expensive. Besides we ordered three 4 piece canapés orders for $120 usd and only received a small order of guacamole and chips. That’s the most expensive guac I’ve ever eaten.

Eric was a fantastic teacher! He gave us the rundown of his bar, walked us through each step, and motivated us to experiment more at home. I wasn’t expecting to keep all of the equipment we used which was an absolute plus. I surprised my bf with this class for his birthday and he loved it. I highly recommend!

We did this class for a company end of year party and would highly recommend! The class itself was awesome and the team at J.Bespoke was so helpful and communicative leading up to the event to make sure all of our team received their kits on time and were very accommodating to our changing headcount numbers. The kit has so many useful tools in it that people will be able to use in the future - so it felt like both a fun class and a nice gift for our employees.

Jessica Coltrane • Dec 2022

Excellent customer service and experience, I highly recommend this for social gatherings or corporate events!

Mavi Grizer • Oct 2022

That was such a great experience When we arrived everything was ready for us! We learned how to make 2 cocktails and the teacher walked us through the process with a great sense of humor! Thank you!

Michele Cooper • Oct 2022

The class was a lot of fun. Jesse was engaging, informative, and very patient with our group. We opted for the boxes, which was a great choice because we had the essentials that we needed for the class. Also the communications were very clear in terms of connecting to the virtual class and understanding the few fresh items that we would need beyond the boxes for the class. Great job!

Brian Dinh • Oct 2022

Highly recommend J Bespoke to anyone searching for a cocktail-making class. Eric was incredibly responsive leading up to the class with follow-up, confirmations, and tracking for our kits. Jesse led our class and he was fantastic!

Jessica Sico • Aug 2022

The cocktail class at J. Bespoke was nothing less than amazing! The venue classy, intimate overall perfect for our bachelorette party. The owners were attentive to all of our needs (including setting up a station of discreet mocktails for one of our guests who hadn’t told anyone she was pregnant yet). They allowed us to come in early and put up a few decorations to really personalize the space.

Jesse was our teacher and he was phenomenal! He was personable and very articulate. Jesse also helped us make the best cocktails we’ve ever made (spicy paloma, cucumber margarita, elderflower sour). They were delicious! We were also completely surprised that all of the bar tools we were using to make the drinks we were able to keep (along with recipes) so now we can make all of these delicious drinks at home! I would book this class for another private event in a heartbeat.

Thank you, Eric & Jesse!
