Do I need any bar experience?

None at all! The class is designed for beginners. Your ambassador will guide you through every shake and stir.

How many cocktails do I actually make?

You will personally craft two signature cocktails. The session concludes with a third, shared seasonal punch prepared by your ambassador, which you can enjoy at your reserved table at JJ's Bar.

Are there non-alcoholic options available?

Yes. Jameson offers high-quality non-alcoholic alternatives for all cocktail ingredients. Please notify the staff upon arrival or mention it in your booking notes so they can prepare your station.

Can I take the standard distillery tour and the cocktail class on the same day?

Jameson typically advises against booking the <experience type="Popup" tgid="30665" title="Bow St. Experience tour" id="IRFU3qjM" /> and the <experience type="Popup" tgid="31370" title="cocktail class" id="MLIy7L81" /> back-to-back due to the total amount of alcohol consumed. It is best to schedule them on separate days or leave a significant gap between sessions.

What is the minimum age for the cocktail class?

Unlike the <experience type="Popup" tgid="30665" title="standard Jameson whiskey tour" id="X8pHShq2" />, which allows children (under 18) to accompany adults, the <experience type="Popup" tgid="31370" title="cocktail-making class" id="tAVXg1Ja" /> is strictly 18+. A valid photo ID is required for all participants.

What happens if I arrive late?

The <experience type="Popup" tgid="31370" title="cocktail class" id="ouHXtTeU" /> is a timed group experience that starts promptly. Late arrivals may not be allowed to join once the session has begun to avoid disrupting other guests, and no-shows are generally non-refundable.

Can I buy the tools used in the class?

Yes! The on-site gift shop at Bow St. sells professional barware, Jameson shakers, and exclusive bitters so you can practice your new skills at home using your take-home recipe booklet.

While the class focuses on drinks, JJ's Bar offers light snacks and a vibrant atmosphere for post-class lounging.

Is there a dress code for the distillery?

There is no formal dress code—smart-casual is recommended. However, please note that "fancy dress" (costumes) or branded promotional clothing is not permitted inside the distillery.

Is the experience wheelchair accessible?

Yes, the Jameson Distillery Bow St. is fully accessible. The Shakers Room, where the cocktail class is held, and JJ’s Bar are both equipped for guests with mobility needs.

Is it different from the Midleton class?

While both use Jameson, the Bow St. class in Dublin features a unique "Shaker's Room" and recipes inspired by Dublin's local cocktail scene, unlike the <experience type="Popup" tgid="31376" title="mixology class at Midleton" id="HUuukHXo" />.

Can I book a private class?

Yes, private sessions are available for stag/hen parties or corporate groups, but must be arranged in advance.

To maximize your Jameson Distillery cocktail-making class, we recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance as these masterclasses sell out faster than the standard Jameson whiskey tour.
If you want the full experience, book a Bow St. Experience tour earlier in the day to learn the history, then follow it up with the cocktail class to apply your knowledge!

Frequently asked questions about the Jameson cocktail-making class

Absolutely. The class is hosted by an expert Jameson Craft Ambassador who guides you through every step, from measuring spirits to mastering the "double strain" technique. No prior bartending experience is required.
