About this tour
When Ben from our team showed up for the Cabinet of Curiosities mixology class in Las Vegas, he stepped into a hands-on cocktail workshop where you're genuinely behind the bar learning to build drinks from scratch. The 90-minute session runs year-round with rotating themes—think Prohibition-era cocktails one month, Tiki drinks the next—and you'll walk away with three cocktails you've made yourself, plus a recipe card and apron to prove it. It's pitched at all skill levels, so whether you're a keen home bartender or just want to try something different on a Vegas trip, the experienced mixologists guide you through premium spirits and fresh ingredients at each station.
Highlights
- Build three complete cocktails under expert guidance, not just taste them
- Seasonal themes keep the class fresh—Prohibition, Tiki, Christmas Cheer rotate through
- Premium spirits and fresh ingredients throughout, not well-stock shortcuts
- Take home a recipe card and souvenir apron—actual keepsakes, not gimmicks
- Wheelchair accessible with accessible bar stations and surfaces
- Small group format lets you get hands-on without waiting for your turn
- No bartending experience needed; mixologists explain technique step by step
What to expect
You'll arrive to find the Cabinet of Curiosities set up with interactive stations where you're making drinks, not watching from a stool. Ben found the mixologists genuinely patient about explaining proportions, technique, and why certain ingredients matter—it's not rushed theatre. Each of the three cocktails has a story: you'll understand the build before you pour. The rotating themes mean the class stays interesting if you come back; seasonal twists on classic recipes keep it from feeling formulaic.
Pacing is steady without being frantic. You get time to actually absorb what you're doing, taste what you've made, and ask questions. The group size stays manageable so there's no queue for equipment. By the end you'll have crafted three proper drinks and have the recipes to recreate them at home—which is the real win if you're planning to practice your newfound skills.
Good to know
This genuinely works if you enjoy mixing drinks or want a hands-on Vegas activity that doesn't involve a casino floor. You leave with a tangible skill and the confidence to build cocktails at home. It suits groups wanting something sharper than a standard bar crawl, and solo travellers keen to learn something useful. The venue is wheelchair accessible throughout, and service animals are welcome.
It's not recommended for pregnant travellers. You must be 21+ with ID—no exceptions. It's a 90-minute commitment, so not a quick pop-in. Hotel pick-up isn't included, so factor in your own transport to the venue. Peak times will likely be weekends and evenings, so book off-peak if you prefer a quieter class.
All fees and taxes are built in, and you get the apron and recipe card. Just bring your ID and arrive ready to learn. Public transport options are nearby if you're not driving.
