So you’ve been trying to work out what to do for your party or event and you’ve decided on cocktail making classes in Manchester. Now you’ve got the task to decide whether to hold it in the pub or at work or even at home. If you’re unsure which venue is going to be best for your party, we’re here to help you decide.
Firstly, congratulations on thinking about holding a cocktail making classes in Manchester. You’ve picked an excellent indoor activity because it ticks so many boxes. We don’t think there’s anyone in the world who would find shaking a cocktail boring. Not only will you learn how to make a banging cocktail, but you’ll also learn how to shake it properly and you’ll be able to impress your friends and family with your new cocktail making skills.
Did we mention how much fun a cocktail class actually is? The best thing about it is you can bring a variety of people together who will actually enjoy themselves. Whether you’re holding a party which involves older family members as well as anyone looking to get a bit tipsy, it’s an activity all will enjoy. Learn how to make margaritas, mojitos and more.
Plus, if you’re organising a team building activities for a work party, and you need your team to actually bond and build better relationships (regardless of their different personalities), it will be much easier when you put a group of people together who are all a bit out of their comfort zone.
Alas, how could we talk about cocktail making classes and not mention how amazing they are to get the party started for your hen or stag party ideas in Manchester? We’re all faced with filling the day with some sort of activity. Instead of doing something no one is really interested in, get the party started with a cocktail making class. Everyone will have a laugh and best of all, you won’t need to carry around the item you made at the activity for the rest of the day, ie a life drawing!
So, now you know you’re onto a great party idea in Manchester, let’s talk about where to hold it. Is it better to hold your party at home, in the office, or at the pub? When you have these many decisions to make, it can get a bit tricky.
Mobile cocktail making classes at home in Manchester
Let’s start with holding your cocktail making class at home. There are some cracking benefits for this idea which you need to know about.
Firstly, bring your party to you. Rather than having to spend hours trawling the Internet, trying to find that perfect venue, sack off the idea and book one of our mobile cocktail making classes instead.
Want to know why? Your party guests won’t need to spend time getting stuck in traffic or trying to find a parking spot whilst paying by the hour. And, if your party aren’t driving, then they’ll need to get the bus into town or furthermore a cab, which will cost a lot of money.
You also won’t need to organise much either. At ClassBento, we bring the party to you. This means we’ll bring everything from booze, cocktail shaking equipment and of course the cocktail mixologist to entertain you. You’ll also be able to run free with decorating your home the way you want to without having to ask a bar for access to get there early and organise it. By holding the party at home, you can spend the week decorating it rather than having to rush the hour before the party starts at the pub. And you’ll get to choose what music you want to play as well
If you hold your party at home, you’ll all be saving a lot of money. Everyone will be able to bring food and booze with them to carry on the party once it’s finished. If you then want to go into town afterwards, it’s going to be much cheaper to get a cab together rather than separately.
It also might be easier to hold the party at home in a space that your friends and family are comfortable with. If you hold it in a pub they aren’t familiar with, it creates a whole different atmosphere. Plus, you won’t have random people in the pub with you. You’ll be able to set a more intimate scene by just having your friend and family there and no one else.
It all sounds pretty good, right? By holding a party at home, it takes the stress away from having to hold it somewhere else.
Cocktail making classes in a pub or a bar in Manchester
Although there are many benefits to holding a cocktail class at home in Manchester, there are also loads of reasons to hold it in a pub or in a bar as well. Here are our reasons why it’s a good idea.
The number one reason why you should book your cocktail making lesson in a bar is that you need an atmosphere. If you hold it at home, it might be a bit random and you could totally miss out on setting the scene and creating a fantastic atmosphere for your guests. This means you won’t have to worry about decorating the pub or choosing the right music to play.
You can also let go of the idea of having to cook any food as well. Let the pub organise that for you and whilst ClassBento’s team will organise the cocktail making part, you can sit back and have a laugh with your guests.
Everyone will want to get behind the bar as well, I mean, of course, they will! When we think of cocktail making, it would just be wrong if we weren’t behind the bar, shaking the cocktail like a pro.
When you book the cocktail making class in the pub, you’ll be able to continue the day and night in the pub or continuing onto a pub crawl. If you’re at home, you might have the fear of people driving over and not really investing in the day as much as they would do if it’s at the pub.

If you’re wondering about holding a cocktail making class in the office, there’s only one thing you can do… hold it in the pub!
