“ My group took the cocktail class with Val. It was a fantastic experience. She was funny and informative. I learned a lot about cocktail making, and that I still don't like most mixed drinks. Not being a big drinker didn't make this less fun at all. ”
“ Both my boyfriend and I loved the cocktail making class. Rebecca was a great instructor and was friendly, funny and knowledgeable. The class took about 2 hours and was worth every penny. Highly recommend! ”
“ Took the cocktail class with Connor. He was very knowledgeable and engaging. His anecdotes about the origins of some of the cocktails were very entertaining. Explanations about a bartender’s tools to mixing techniques was a lot of fun. Highly recommend taking the class. ”
“ This incredible speakeasy is located in the prohibition museum, serving classic prohibition-era cocktails. This place needs to be on your list when visiting Savanah. There are 2 ways to get to the bar: 1. Through the museum, which is filled with prohibition era items, articles and decor – strongly recommend. There is a fee to go through the museum. 2. If you want to just go to the speakeasy and not the museum, there is a separate door located on the corner of Congress St & Jefferson St. Cocktails were incredible, our bartender was amazing and upbeat even though it was super busy. ”

“ Great speakeasy! We came up here and had a couple of cocktails after touring the museum. A couple days later we came back to do the cocktail class which was lead by Daphne. I highly recommend putting this on your list of things to do in Savannah! ”
“ We did the museum self tour including a drink at the speakeasy. It was great, the museum is very cool and the drinks were awesome. We came back for a cocktail making class in the evening with Blake. He was excellent; funny, engaging, educational, entertaining. The class was very cool, the bar and bartenders are great. They made a great cocktail both from the menu and with only flavor preferences. The variety between day and night drink menus is a nice touch. ”
