Make It Part of Your Austin Plans
Austin is a city built for good drinks, shared experiences and groups ready to try something new. A private BarBees class brings those elements together at a location your group has already chosen.
Your instructor demonstrates approachable bartending techniques while everyone makes and enjoys the selected drinks together. Classes can be planned for bachelorette weekends, birthday celebrations, corporate gatherings, bridal showers, reunions and evenings with friends.
Because the experience comes to you, your group can add an activity to its Austin itinerary without coordinating transportation to and from another venue.
What Austin Guests are saying
★★★★★
Kim hosted an AMAZING cocktail night for my friends and I in Austin. We had a great time, learned so much, and enjoyed some really delicious drinks. I feel like the idea of mixology has been demystified and I’m ready to make more drinks at home ❤️
