Getting Cocktail Classes Right in Inner North

A red-velvet room on Brunswick Street sets the scene for cocktail classes in the inner north. Polly Bar, at 401 Brunswick St in Fitzroy, is decorated like a 1920s Parisian bar, velvet armchairs and even two thrones included, and it runs a private two-hour class for groups. How the class runs:

  • Arrival: a welcome drink for each guest
  • Making: the bartender demonstrates, then everyone mixes three rounds of their own
  • Standard picks: Southside, Polly's Aussie Punch and espresso martini, though they can be changed
  • Food: grazing platters for the table to share
  • Price: from $85 per person

Group sizes have run all the way from a pair of guests to 70, and nobody outside your booking joins the class.

  • Under 15 guests: a corner of the downstairs bar set aside from its other customers
  • Fifteen and up: the class can head upstairs to the exposed-brick function room, sized for 30–65
  • Mid-sized parties: a separate exclusive bar area for 20–35
  • Extras: some bookers have brought in a drag queen to perform upstairs

  • Mocktail class: non-alcoholic spirits, priced the same as the cocktail version
  • Mad Men cocktail class: a themed take on the session
  • Whisky flight with an old fashioned, or an absinthe tasting poured traditionally with iced water and sugar
  • Bucks nights can add drinks packages, and catering or pizzas are available for larger parties
