Craft Cocktail Class - Learned a lot about the history of bourbon. Enjoyed creating various cocktails and sharing laughs with our Mixologist Eric. We really enjoyed this class and would recommend to our friends.

Pace yourself is all I got to say. Worth it though. - I think it was Tim that did the class and it was awesome. I personally didn't like the music played it was old jazz or something but he had my attention so well I wasn't listening. I think they can show the people where I'm from how to do a mixology class. 3 shots and 3 drinks made was not expected. Make sure you pace yourself because if you don't you may be a little plastered when you leave haha. Not particularly a bad thing though because you will get your money worth.

Amazing Experience - When we showed up, Tim and Eric already had everything set up for us. They went through the history of cocktails and alcohol in the US and were extremely knowledgeable. We made three different drinks that turned out awesome! You can tell that both of them really take pride in their craft. They were entertaining, knowledgeable, and fun to hang out with. To me, this is an absolute must do in Key West!

Really cool bar - Really glad we hit this spot for an afternoon drink with the family. Eric our bartender was really cool and made a smoked old fashion for me and a whiskey sour for our son after giving us a bunch of good suggestions. The decor was really cool also. We didn’t get to hang out for the live music, but will come back for that next time. Really great vibe at General Horseplay!

Don't be a lightweight, like me! - Informative and interesting experience! Possibly could have enjoyed (and remembered) it more if the cocktails had been a smaller pour. Tim and Eric were great hosts.

Canceled - Experience was canceled one hour in advance. If there is a minimum number it would be helpful to understand the likelihood of the event being cancelled.

They cancelled on us! - Sadly, we were looking forward to this and they cancelled last minute. Would have gone a long way had someone from the bar reached out with some kind of communication. It was a family excursion that never happened. Bummer!

Disappointed - Didn’t happen- got canceled on and didn’t know until after we had already arrived there. Such a bummer.
