Cocktail Classes Parramatta

Parramatta's cocktail class option sits 26 floors above the city: Nick & Nora's Parramatta, a Champagne and cocktail bar at 45 Macquarie Street styled on the glamour of the 1930s. Its own bartenders run hosted masterclasses for groups, with terraces looking out over the Parramatta skyline. It is a polished choice for a hens or bucks group, a milestone birthday, team building or client entertaining, when you want the group doing something together rather than just ordering a round.

What a Nick & Nora's masterclass involves:

• Getting there: Parramatta station is the nearest train station and the Parramatta Light Rail serves the centre. The closest parking is Secure Parking at the Lang Centre.
• The experience: the cocktail masterclass generally runs for an hour and a half, with a host who teaches the group to make three cocktails.
• Group size: the cocktail and martini masterclasses suit 8 to 18 guests, and the whisky masterclass takes 6 to 20.
• Booking lead time: bookings with dietary needs require at least 48 hours' notice, so lock in numbers early if anyone has restrictions.
• Food and drinks: the bar is fully licensed and not BYO, with a menu of oysters, caviar and canapés.

The cocktail masterclass starts from $110 per person. Nick & Nora's is strictly 18 and over with a smart casual dress code, so let guests know before the day. A class can stand alone or become part of a longer afternoon or evening, with the events team pairing it with a private space such as the Champagne Parlour, the Boardroom or a section of the terrace. Function packages can also add interactive extras such as Champagne sabrage, which gives a birthday or hens group a moment to remember.
