How it works
This is a virtual Live/Box class! From the comfort of your home, share an artisan experience with your friends, family or colleagues, or enjoy with like-minded others. Our Live/Box classes have been featured on The Guardian, TimeOut, GQ, Daily Mirror, The Metro, and more. Here's how it works:
- Request your preferred time
- The Bartender (liquor license number: 1307148) will deliver a Box to you - this is a physical DIY cocktail kit containing the materials you'll need. Shipping in the UK is free, and you'll get your box delivered in time for your class. We ship nationwide. International shipping is also available for private groups, please enquire for pricing details. You must be 18+ years old to purchase this Box.
- Enjoy the online class. After booking, you'll receive a link to a Zoom meeting. At the time of the class, use that link to join. During the class, you can easily ask questions and get immediate responses. Zoom is free and easy to use, on any device. You're in control of your privacy - you can mute yourself and hide your webcam if and when you prefer.
What you'll do
Welcome to The Bar From Afar, the only virtual bar set up by the very best bartenders in the UK, if not the world.
Learn how to make three cocktails at home whilst having fun. Your expert bartender and teacher will help you mix your drinks and give you some great home hacks to mixing great drinks whilst the pubs are closed. Everything you need will be sent to you in your cocktail kit (see below).
This live online class is perfect for a group of friends celebrating a special event, or staff looking for fun virtual team building activities. Boxes can be shipped all over the UK and much much further afield.
Want to share this amazing cocktail kit with a family member, housemate, or an imaginary friend? Our couples boxes are an extra £35, giving your loved one a £5 discount to join in on the experience.
Whether you need fun things to do in Edinburgh, Manchester or Bristol, no matter where you all are in the UK, we can deliver a fun and tasty workshop.
House Pours menu:
- Long Island Iced Tea
- Raspberry Cosmo
- Porn Star Martini
Mocktail options are available upon request too, we use free-spirits such as Lyre's and Caleno. Due to the prices of these, the box cost is the same.
Please note: Public classes require a minimum number of students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class; in this case we'll inform and reschedule/refund you, so please watch your email prior to the class.

Your teacher
Our team of bartenders have been mixing cocktails professionally since 2003, initially mixing drinks in people's homes and gardens, entertaining on a small and entertaining scale. Everything exploded with the launch of our website in 2005 and since then we've been shaking our stuff and teaching cocktail enthusiasts how to make cocktails, from small groups of hen parties, all the way through to entertaining corporate away-days of over 200 delegates.
Since 2020, we've taken our offering online, which, paired with our penchant for tech and our love of teaching, we created The Bar From Afar, a place for groups to get together and have fun with drinks as a group again, whether it be for a work's Christmas party, or a birthday of close friends desperate to see each other and have a bit of a boogie at the same time.
With us, you won't just be taught how to make some drinks, and we won't drone on about the intricacies of gin variants or the differences between Russian and Polish vodkas. Instead, we want to have fun with you - we miss making drinks face to face! We want to bring the fun of visiting a bar direct to you at home.

Emma Ely-Johnston • May 2021
Great fun and a brilliant virtual party option - everyone enjoyed it and loved the cocktails. Great that there is a mocktail option too
Alex Sullivan • Apr 2021
Brilliant class and really enjoyed the experience ! Lewis our bartender was excellent, would highly recommend to anyone
Catia Esperanca • Apr 2021
I really enjoyed it. Lewis was funny, friendly and very patient. I learned a lot. I thought it was going to be a 'get in, here are the cocktails and get out' kind of session but it was very engaging. I especially enjoyed the tour around where it was being filmed and the dance at the end!
Catherine Harrison • Apr 2021
We had an excellent night, great host and amazing cocktails - I'm going to recommend to everyone
Claire Little • Mar 2021
Really personable, was able to connect with the group and “read the room” really well - must be very difficult to do virtually! Good tech and cocktails were delicious too. Thank you.
Viola Levy • Mar 2021
Had so much fun - the bartender was a great laugh and entertained everyone despite the awkwardness of it being over zoom! The cocktails tasted delicious too. Good value for money given you’d probably pay £45 for three cocktails in a bar! (And you don’t get a free cocktail shaker & mixology skills thrown in!)

Really great session, lots of engagement and good knowledge and tips! Thanks so much, really enjoyed it!
Jack Woodcock • Mar 2021
Definitely worth a shot.
No boo's from me.
If you're sat there absinthe=mindedly wondering whether you should book this class, do it!
It will definitely cure what ales you.
Lewis is a great spirit.
I wish I had more to say but I have quite a limited vodkabulary.
10/10. A+
Alicia Hindhaugh • Mar 2021
Really enjoyed cocktail making & Lewis was a great host!
Luke Daykin • Mar 2021
Just a great experience, Lewis really knows his stuff, has the all knowledge, history and advice you could want from a bartender. Was really impressed by his presenting skills and how he handled a large group of people. This was my first online experience (outside of friends) and I was a little sceptical of how it’d work smoothly, but I was proven wrong! Cheers Lewis!
Hillary Wright • Mar 2021
Lewis did a great job, fun informative and delicious cocktails - I would highly recommend! Perfect for a Friday night.
Kirsty Austin • Mar 2021

Good engaging presentation, fun, tasty cocktails & great box of ingredients making it easy to follow.
Jackie Bines • Mar 2021
Really good, thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Lewis was very knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommend this experiment
Sophie Marshall • Mar 2021
Really good, knowledgeable barman, friendly atmosphere and some great cocktails. Great time had by all
Amelia Goodwin • Mar 2021
Highly recommend! Everything about it was fantastic - communication around booking, arranging for delivery of the kits, the kits themselves and of course, the cocktails. I arranged this for a team of 30 and Lewis was great at trying to involve everyone/get a discussion going (which can be difficult when everyone is worried of talking over each other). The feedback from the team has been brilliant. Would definitely book again.
Sophie Carr • Feb 2021
Really fabulous event thanks so much, everyone had a great time; definitely would book again! :)

Fantastic evening with Lewis! Good birthday treat during lockdownWill be back again with friends
Lauren King • Feb 2021
Lewis was fantastic. Great personality and loads of energy. The bar set up was very cool, camera placement made it really easy to follow and the cocktails were delicious. Can’t wait to do it again.
Zoe Knight • Feb 2021
Lewis was a really great teacher - he really managed to engage us all over zoom! It was great fun would recommend
Kelly Wallace • Feb 2021
Really enjoyed the interaction with the barman and others that took part. The box of goodies was well presented. This was a 60th birthday present and I will definitely booking another one. Well done
Emily Close • Feb 2021
This class was amazing! We learned some classic and new cocktails and had a great time meeting people all over the U.K. What a fun event!
Matthew Woolmer • Feb 2021
Brilliant evening. Managed to keep everyone engaged and entertained throughout the evening. Would certainly recommend.
Niamh Foster • Feb 2021
Great level of knowledge and fun. Great selection of drinks made in the class also
Jayne Nethersole • Feb 2021
Our bartender Lewis was very knowledgeable on the cocktails we made and any others we asked about - history, trivia, how to make them. Great evening with friends and strangers, almost as good as a night in the pub!
Sarah Atkinson • Feb 2021
Lewis was great! Knowledgeable, fun and engaging. A good evening and nice to see other people!
Jemma Phillips • Feb 2021
Really enjoyed the class. The whole pub experience was very clever and Liam was really inclusive. I thought the box of items was perfect no need to buy anything additional (except maybe a martini glass!). I would definitely book this again and will look into doing a private class as well. Really enjoyed it!
Jude Neill • Feb 2021
Lewis was awesome - sociable and really helpful! We had been looking forward to this class so much and it really was worth the dollar. We enjoyed ourselves so much and got the wee buzz we have missed!
Thanks so so much, Lewis!

Fab evening! Tosh was great and managed to control us well . Interaction with the bar from afar was seamless. Everything arrived in perfect condition. The cocktails were delicious. The girls all thought it was the best night in ever and a great way to celebrate a lockdown birthday. 5 stars ⭐️
