One of the most exciting, hands-on experiences that Dublin Bar Academy offers is the Bartender for a night.
This is the perfect mix of entertainment and education, where each guest is greeted with a welcome cocktail upon arrival before sinking into the art behind mixology. This leisurely introduction is then followed by a Classic Cocktail Tasting, where guests have some time for sampling in anticipation of the Mix-Off Challenge, where things get a bit competitive!
Old Fashioned’s, Martini’s, Mai Tai’s and much more for you to sample on the night.
