Getting Cocktail Classes Right in Fitzroy

Shaking your own espresso martini is the centrepiece of a private class at Polly Bar, the red-velvet cocktail bar at 401 Brunswick Street. Each class runs for two hours and is reserved for your group alone, whether that is a couple or around 70 people. How the two hours unfold:

First up, a welcome drink lands in everyone's hand.
Platters to graze on circulate while a bartender shows the moves – shaking, stirring and the recipes behind them.
Then it's your turn: three drinks per guest, typically Southside, Aussie Punch and espresso martini, and the list can be changed if you ask.
Anyone skipping alcohol can do it with non-alcoholic spirits for the identical price; under-18s are welcome in that version when a parent or guardian comes along.
Cost: from $85 per person.

For a bucks night there are drinks packages to add, and a 1960s-flavoured Mad Men version is offered as a themed swap.

Couples and small crews are set up in a roped-off nook of the downstairs bar, separate from regular customers.
Once numbers pass 14, the class can head up to the exposed-brick function floor, which fits 30–65.
An exclusive side bar is sized for a mid-sized party of 20–35.
Some bookers have hired extra entertainment upstairs – a drag queen, for one.

Things to sort before the night

Expect plush surroundings modelled on a 1920s Paris bar: velvet armchairs, marble tables, a pair of thrones.
Bigger parties can order in catering or pizzas.
Polly has hosted this class for anything from a couple to 70 people.
The bar has poured drinks on Brunswick Street for more than two decades.
