Classes & Dinners
Learn to make cocktails like the pros or sit down for a multi-course dinner paired with cocktails in the Drinks Apothecary. Intimate, interactive and always entertaining.
Cocktail classes and Apothecary Dinners
Our classes and dinners are the most hands-on way to experience Earl Giles. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned home bartender, these sessions are designed to be fun, accessible and genuinely educational. You'll learn from the people who created the products, eat great food and leave with new skills. All levels welcome. Seriously.
Cocktail Class
Two hours with co-founder Jesse Held. Four cocktails made from scratch, pizza from our wood-fired oven and light bites from the kitchen. Jesse covers the fundamentals (how to build, stir and shake a drink the right way) alongside more advanced techniques using Earl Giles syrups and elixirs. You'll learn why certain flavors work together, how professional bartenders think about balance, and how to use ingredients most people haven't encountered before.
By the end, you'll know how to make drinks at home that genuinely impress. Not the kind of "impress" where your friends politely sip and nod. The kind where they ask you to make another one.
Takes place in the Mezzanine with its own private bar and views over the production floor. Perfect for couples, groups of friends, birthdays, bachelorette parties and corporate outings.
Apothecary Dinner
Dinner in the Drinks Apothecary. Seven courses. One unforgettable room.
A unique and immersive dining experience in our flavor laboratory. Seven courses from Executive Chef Matt Reisenger paired with cocktails developed by co-owners Nick Kosevich and Mike Byrne, surrounded by over 600 globally sourced extracts. You'll interact with Nick, Mike and the kitchen team throughout the evening, learning about the inspiration behind each cocktail and dish.
This isn't a set-menu dinner in a function room. It's an evening inside the room where every Earl Giles product is born. Intimate (up to 16 guests), interactive and genuinely unforgettable.
Public dinners are available on a regular schedule. Private buyouts are available for groups of between 6-18.
Cocktail Labs in the drinks apothecary
This isn't a class. This isn't a tasting. This is a Cocktail Lab.
Step Inside the Drinks Apothecary for a hands-on, high-energy experience where you don’t just drink cocktails—you build them, explore them, and understand what makes them work.
You'll get five half cocktails- a curated lineup showcasing technique, seasonal ingredients, and our apothecary-driven approach to flavor. Enjoy pizza, snacks and shared plates, served casually—because this is meant to feel like a gathering, not a seminar.
If you love cocktails and want to go deeper this is for you! Great for groups looking for an interactive fun activity to do together. If you've done tastings before and want something more interactive, this is the experience you've been wanting.
What to expect
Our classes and dinners are intimate, interactive and always entertaining. Expect to learn, taste and leave with new skills. All levels are welcome. Food, drinks and good company are included. You'll also get to meet the people behind Earl Giles and see the spaces where our products are made. It's hands-on hospitality at its best.
Group bookings
The Study Hall and Apothecary are perfect for groups. Birthdays, bachelorette parties, corporate team socials, you name it. We can accommodate groups of varying sizes and the private bar setting makes it feel exclusive without being stuffy.
