Wonderful experiences!! I wanted to surprise my boyfriend with something fun and different to do while in New Orleans and this was perfect. It started off a little rocky with the bartender not being able to attend but the team offered us a refund or come the next day. We joined the following day and both were SO happy we did. We learned a little about NOLA and a lot about cocktails and left a little tipsy and with a handful of new recipes to try at home. I'd highly recommend for anyone who's interested in making( and drinking cocktails). read more

We did the Drink Lab cocktail making class upstairs first and it was AMAZING and worth the money! The history and education that are included with the class are A1. We had such a great time during the class that we spent the rest of the evening downstairs at Baroness of Baronne. All of the food, drinks, shots (gas mask shot) were great! GO! read more

While on our trip to New Orleans We went on tik too for suggestions. Someone recommended the drink lab and it was so much fun. Our host Owen told us a lot about the prohibition says and history of alcohol in the city. He was an amazing host! He taught us how to make 3 drinks a French 75, Hurricane and a Sazerac. K now feel like A pro and learned a bunch of cool tricks to make the drinks taste better. My favorite drink would be the French 75. We also tried some of New Orleans finest chartreuse. Had so much fun and the classes are very reasonably priced. Will return again. read more

New Orleans Drink Lab - Bartending Schools Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

While exploring our options at New Orleans for a 3-day trip, my girlfriend decided to dedicate one afternoon to the New Orleans Drink Lab. We had no idea about how to make any mixed drinks; the opportunity to not just learn the basics but also experience part of the New Orlean's drinking culture was quite exciting. With high expectations, we arrived at the Drink Lab on a pedal bike ready to get buzzed with our own creation. The drink lab is on the second floor of the Victory bar, whose owner Daniel is the instructor for our mixology class. The victory bar is amazing in itself but that is for another review. Upon entering the lab, we were immediately impressed by the decor. Similiar to feeling smarter by simply being at an ivy league school campus, the drink lab instantly made me feel like a champion mixologist. All the tools and equipment orderly laid on the counter ready to do magic. After a few glaases of champagne and a few plates of delicious Jambalaya rice to set the mood, Daniel the instructor started the class. Too much detail might ruin the fun, but we were able to make three drinks: 1) Sazerac Rye, 2) Ramos Gin Fizz, and 3) Hurricane. My finished products were amazing, I loved all three drinks so much I finished them all. Daniel's teaching style is a comedy show in itself: he told interesting stories about the drinks he was teaching and joked around with his students the entire time. His style makes the whole experience enjoyable even for people who aren't into drinks. At the end of the class, not only did I have a ton of fun hanging out with Daniel, I walked out having discovered three delicious drinks and learned how to make them. It was truely an awesome experience. I am from Vegas. One may question why I would choose to expose myself to the craft of mixology in New Orleans, when I can learn from the city where part of its sin is made up by fancy cocktails and talented Bartenders. The answer is a simple one: Vegas has no Daniel. read more

I booked a mixology class as a surprise to my hubby who used to bartend. The class started promptly. To our treat the owner actually taught the class! She gave alot of background about her establishement and then we got to work. We made 2 New Orleans cocktails sazorac and hurricane. Although the class was specific to the cocktails she gave alot of tips for making cocktails and entertaining! My hubby and I enjoyed it! We made some friends at the class and ended up going dowstairs for the gas mask. If you book the class youll hear more about the gas mask. Cheers read more

Do yourself a favor & take a break from Bourbon Street to explore & learn the art of craft cocktails. The Classic New Orleans cocktail class was amazing! You learn the mechanics of the drink & a little NOLA history. Cost includes a welcome beverage & lunch. Daniel, the instructor, makes the class super fun! The class is well worth the price of admission! Would definitely return for another class. read more

Came here yesterday with a couple of friends and had such a fun time!! We made reservations the day before not really knowing what to expect - we ended up having a private class that focused on making three classic New Orleans drinks. The price of the class covers the three drinks and a small meal paired with a glass of champagne. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. They were able to joke around with us, answer all of our questions and even give us bar recommendations for NOLA and NYC. My favorite drink we made was the Ramos Gin Fizz. I've never had a cocktail with egg whites and heavy cream, and was pleasantly surprised. It literally tasted like lemon meringue in a cup and would pair well with breakfast/brunch. On our way out, the staff gave us recipe cards so that we could make the drinks at home. 10/10 would recommend to all of my friends visiting New Orleans. It's a great activity to learn about the history of the city's cocktails while pregaming a night out on Bourbon St. The drinks I made here were way better than anything I've had on Bourbon St anyway! read more

I can't begin to explain what an amazing time we had at the New Orleans Drink Lab. My maid of honor and mom of honor planned my NOLA Bachelorette party and planned a cocktail making class with Daniel. It was very informative and fun! We learned how to make three of the drinks New Orleans is known for from behind the bar. We had the entire set up and got to experience what the point of view of a bartender is like. Daniel exchanged some helpful tips that everyone should know in a bar atmosphere and even told us when it was time to "Ask for the check". Now we were a large group of 18 woman and not only did they accommodate us into their beautiful bar space, they welcomed us with food and kept us laughing the entire time! Thank you so much New Orleans Drink Lab for a one of a kind experience. WE HAD A BLAST! read more

I am usually a pessimist when it comes to these types of classes. I have got to say...What a freakin' excellent time!!!!! I am reformed. Camille was warm and welcoming. Daniel taught me so much about mixing the perfect Sazerac among others. He is not only educating, but majorly entertaining. Those two are just magic! Thanks to them, I can tell if bartender is doing it right. It is like I was blind, now I can see. #drinklabnola has made a believer of me. This needs to be a stop for any group going to NOLA! Great job! Worth every dime!!! read more

I was in NOLA for a conference. One the highlights was spending the evening with friends learning how to make drinks at the Drink Lab. Daniel, our mixologist, was funny and very entertaining. The set up is great with stations for each person to make drinks. While there was some food beforehand, I'd recommend you eat something before you go as I was still hungry. A helpful tip from Daniel was bananas or Pedialyte is good for hangovers. Given the drinks you'll be making and drinking, you may want to get one or the either on the way back. read more

I chose Drink Lab for my birthday party spot! I wanted to do something different and this seemed perfect. I can't say enough GREAT things about this experience. My friends and I had so much fun.

I highly encourage you to grab your crew or even make it a date night and have a blast! read more

I truly enjoyed myself. The instructor was professional and knew his stuff! The atmosphere was romantic and intimate.

Drink lab exceeded every expectation. The owner was fantastic and patient. The class is fun and informative! Would recommend 100x over. read more

Went to a wine series here called Tasting Tuesdays. The course is lead by a very knowledgeable and friendly sommelier, enjoyed varietals that you don't have every day, met new people, and learned a great deal about dropping so-called "taboos" about drinking wine. Even won a bottle during the raffle, which is included in the cost of the evening! read more

I visited the Drink Lab this past weekend and it was so much fun! Camille and Daniel were so hospitable. Daniel was charming, funny, and knowledgeable while Camille was a perfect compliment to him. We called the day of and and they were so accommodating. Not only do you get to learn the history about the drinks but you get to make extremely tasty drinks. I learned things about alcohol that will help me for the rest of my drinking life! I suggest everyone try this place while they are in New Orleans, it for sure won't be my last time. Go there if your ready to have a good time. 5 stars out of 5 stars. Go Daniel and Camille! :) read more

This was a unique experience that offers not only a great time with libations, but an education about the history of several of the classic cocktails of New Orleans, how to execute these cocktails with your own station, and the witty banter of Mr. Daniel Victory who leads the instruction. We made a sazerac (THE original cocktail invented in New Orleans), a Ramos gin fizz, and a proper hurricane. I felt like I actually knew what I was doing and got an appreciation for what goes into a really good cocktail. Highly recommended for groups that want to have a great time doing something a little different in NOLA... read more

Drink Lab was the perfect place to go with a group of girls ready to have a great time! We learned so much history and how to make amazing drinks.

Daniel is one killer bartender. He not only taught us to make some of New Orleans most special drinks but he gave us a history lesson as well as some great life advice. Well worth the money for this experience! Open up and let the drinks fill your soul! read more

My group and I spent a week in New Orleans and this was, by far, the best experience we had. Camille and Daniel create an environment that's incredibly fun and educational. Daniel puts on an awesome performance, teaching you about the history of liquor in New Orleans and the history behind the drinks he teaches you to make (Sazerac, Ramos Gin Fizz, Hurricane). This is a must-do while you're in NOLA. Thanks Camille and Daniel for the unforgettable time! read more

This place is AWESOME! This past weekend a group of girlfriends and I went to celebrate our friend's bachelorette party at DrinkLab and I can honestly say it was a wonderful time. Daniel knows his stuff when it comes to the history of drinks and genuinely makes cocktail making a great time. He helped me try new things (I definitely didn't think I would love the Ramos Gin Fizz as much as I did), and played on the things we already love (PASSION FRUIT lol). We're already planning on returning when we come back home for Thanksgiving. Some of the highlights of the class were being able to make yourself another drink if you really enjoyed it, learning how to properly use bar tools, and also getting the recipe cards for the drinks we created. The bar also served this delicious popcorn which was very helpful since some of us overindulged just a little. Don't hesitate to check this place out, you will most definitely enjoy yourself. read more

This was an amazing time. Took our son right after he turned 21 so he could experience the taste of real cocktails. Let's just say it didn't disappoint. Daniel's and Camille's stories were both educational and entertaining. We were in with a group, 14 in all, but we all had a great time together. Be prepared to drink and have a lot of fun. Could not recommend anything higher!!! This is a do not miss. read more

You must visit the Drink Lab during your stay in New Orleans. We learned how to make traditional New Orleans Cocktails and had a delicious bowl of gumbo and a glass of champagne. Wow, if only school could be this fun! Daniel is a great instructor; it is obvious that he is passionate about what he does. As I write this review I am making Hurricanes and Ramos Gin Fizzes for a girl's night in. In addition to learning a little NOLA history, Daniel taught us how to use a variety of tonic waters to enhance the flavors of vodkas and gins. The Drink Lab will definitely be in the plans for our next trip. And make sure to visit Victory, their bar below the Drink Lab. Thanks Camille and Daniel for such a great time, you've changed my thinking and expanded my horizons! read more

So much fun, what a great experience!!! Can't say enough about the owners... I'll never look at drink making again. It's truly an art!

A one-of-a-kind venue in New Orleans with hands-on education in cocktail learning and demonstration. Led by one of the top mixologists in the city, Daniel Victory. Owned by former news anchor, Camille Whitworth. Together they make an awesome team and offer a great experience! Definitely need to check out The Drink Lab and stop by and see them at Victory!! read more

Amazing experience and great drinks! Super easy and usable.

We participated in a Mixology class at New Orleans Drink Lab as part of our company retreat trip in New Orleans and it was a fun, entertaining and informative experience for everyone. Daniel Victory provided our instruction and his expertise as a master mixologist was evident from the start, he gave us some great tips and instruction as well as interesting information on the history of the cocktails we were making. Our entire group thought the experience was one of a kind and exceeded our expectations for the night. I would highly recommend this class for anyone visiting the city! read more

A must do when in New Orleans. Camille, Lindsay, Daniel, and Ivy were fabulous hosts and very hospitable. They made us feel like family. The class itself was very informative while still being a complete blast. Definitely no need for a pregame! Jambalaya was out of this world. My group and I will definitely be back if and when we return to NOLA. For sure the highlight of our trip. Cannot thank them enough! read more

Never thought I would ever get adventurous with my drink choice but after coming to the drink lab I haven't ordered my "go to" rum and coke. Daniel was a great teacher and so much fun! He really made me think twice about the drinks I am willing to try. This is a great place to come with a small group especially if you are looking to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new and exciting. You cant go wrong learning how to make amazing drinks with great company! read more

Daniel keeps it low key and gives you a rockin' mixology lesson. Highly recommended as a way to start off a night or just chill with friends. Awesome atmosphere in a tucked away bar above Victory. We learned 3 classic New Orleans drinks and everyone was deliciously smooth. I would do it again for sure when I go back. Thanks Daniel!!! read more

This class was amazing! The drink history was incredibly interesting and making the cocktails was so much fun! Highly recommend to travelers and local alike! read more
