Clear allShaking your own drinks is a group outing the city centre handles well, and the classes in this region are all tucked into the CBD grid on the north bank of the Yarra. Each runs inside a working bar, so the setting is half the decision: a hidden speakeasy, a chandeliered cocktail bar or a gin distillery in a heritage cottage.
Use these differences to narrow it down:
All three can stretch the night past the class – Bar 1806 and Eau De Vie with private rooms, Little Lon with its heated gin garden – so a birthday, hens party or team outing can stay put once the shakers go down.
Bar 1806 has the lowest entry price, From $70 per person for its one-hour masterclass, with a welcome drink or canapés available as an extra. Little Lon Distilling Co. is next at From $95 per person, and Eau De Vie Melbourne gives its price when you ask, for a class that comes with light snacks.
Yes. Little Lon Distilling Co.'s events team puts together packages for hens and bucks, milestone birthdays and work functions, with the heated gin garden for bigger groups. Eau De Vie Melbourne can arrange exclusive hire of the whole bar for up to 120 guests through its events team.
Eau De Vie Melbourne asks for smart casual dress and is strictly 18+, including for private events. It is a fully licensed bar, so there is no BYO, though a birthday cake can be brought in for a small fee.
At Bar 1806 they do – every class supplies the equipment and ingredients, and guests leave with the recipes for what they made. At Eau De Vie the focus is on learning how to balance a drink, with a bartender walking the group through the techniques behind it.
