This was so much fun. Will definitely do again. Perfect for someone who already knows how to make a lot of cocktails and would like free range to experiment with unusual ingredients and techniques.

lab·o·ra·to·ry | ˈla-b(ə-)rə-ˌtȯr-ē – a place for experimentation, observation, and practice. Instead of a scripted cocktail making class, this is an ever‑changing, high‑concept cocktail and mocktail laboratory and a unique mixology experience in Seattle for all experience levels, from 0 to 100. You’re encouraged to experiment with hundreds of ingredients—bitters, syrups, teas, spices, zero‑proof spirits, and more—plus tools like a smoking gun, test tubes, and shaker sets, so you can try bold ideas you’d never risk at home. Your host acts as a friendly “head scientist,” helping fine‑tune each guest’s mixology goals while keeping the atmosphere playful and judgment‑free—awkwardness gets checked at the door so the creative madness can begin. Also available as a mobile lab at your home, office, or event venue—ask about on‑site options.

I had an amazing, fun, educational time learning about organic chemistry, combinations, the history of cocktails, and mingling with other couples as we learned how to make non-alcoholic beverages. Excited to return and make more love potions with my other half soon! Will write an updated revoew experience.... stay tuned!

This workshop was way more fun than any cocktail class I’ve taken! You throw on a lab coat, step into a playful little “drink lab,” and experiment your way to a delicious cocktail or mocktail. The instructor is super encouraging and makes the whole experience feel creative rather than rigid. Great ambiance, great ingredients, great vibe. Highly recommend for a group activity or a memorable night out in Seattle!

Had a great time. You get a lab coat and access this woody loft space to mix drinks however you want. I’m sober, but the experience was pretty flippin rad nonetheless. t’s hands-on and creative, not a strict class where you just watch someone else. Lot of options when it came to drinks, essences, bitters, et cetera. The instructor was helpful without hovering, and a couple of my drinks were mindblowingly good. May have to round up the Sobears and come back here. Raar.

I had an absolute blast at this “mad scientist” cocktail workshop! The moment I walked into the Greenfire Loft, I was handed a lab coat and instantly felt like I’d stepped into a playful little laboratory for adults. The space is gorgeous—tucked above Melrose Market with great people-watching and a cozy lounge vibe. The instructor set the tone perfectly: supportive, fun, and ready to nudge you just far enough out of your comfort zone. There are printed recipes you can follow… but honestly, the real magic is experimenting. I loved mixing ingredients, tasting as I went, and getting tips whenever I was stuck or wanted to be bolder. It’s creative chaos in the best way, and the tools and ingredients felt really thoughtfully curated. My finished drink turned out delicious, and lounging in a vintage butterfly chair while sipping it was the perfect finish. Whether you’re planning a team activity, a birthday, or just want something unique to do in Seattle, this workshop is such a standout. I left feeling like both a chemist and a bartender.
