Small groups, real technique, and a few drinks you’ll actually remember how to make.
Private classes run eight to twelve guests behind the rail — $600 at the eight-guest minimum — and include our black-eyed pea hummus while you work. A $150 deposit holds the date and comes off the total. Fewer than eight? Ask about The Diana Ross or The BB King, our two named rooms.
Start with the ingredients — smell, taste, and understand what you’re working with before you build anything.
Watch the bartender work — shake, stir, strain, express. The same moves used on the line every night.
Each guest builds their own cocktail at the bar. You drink what you make.
The floor opens — ask anything, order another, keep the conversation going. No rush at the end.
A guided tasting through American whiskey — and the enslaved Black distillers who built it. From the corn-whiskey stills of the South to the rise of bourbon, the craft was carried by hands history left uncredited. We pour, we taste, and we give that work its name.
