The eye opening drink experience - How do you make something as old as cocktail creations so fresh and new! A fantastic usage of space with an even superior sense for human, this experience is one and a million. I learned more about what kind of spirits I’m fond of, made a new friend, and learned most importantly what doesn’t blend well with what I like.

A must for a creative date night! - We had such a great time last night creating fun cocktails. It’s such a cute, quaint environment with everything available for you to experiment with. Our hostess was knowledgeable, fun and gave us the latitude to pretty much make anything that we wanted to with what was there. It was a great date night!

Best Group Activity - What a fun family and friends group experience! I loved experimenting with Mocktail recipes but the rest of our group had fun pretending to be bartenders concocting cocktails. We were an intergenerational group of all ages and it is hard to find an activity in the heart of Seattle that gives everyone a great time and still allows for conversation and collaboration. Jen stocks the bar well and there is no recipe she can't help create with a little imagination. I highly recommend this fun laboratory in a great neighborhood.

Great time - We had a great time and look forward to doing it again! There was quite the bevy of mixology options that we did not get a chance to try everything out in time. :)

Don’t miss experience - It was a wonderful end to a great day. Jennifer took the time to tailor the experience to our group. We started by mixing a variety of cocktails both good and bad with only the best ingredients. She provided snacks and even grabbed food from local restaurants for us as our evening progressed. We couldn’t have asked for a more memorable experience! I would highly recommend for a small group of friends for a special night or on vacation.

a great date idea to break the norm - This is a great place to go for a fun and creative experience. The lab is designed for people of all experience levels, so you don't need to be a mixologist to have a good time. There are hundreds of ingredients and tools available for use, so you can create whatever you can imagine. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed, and the owner, Jen, is knowledgeable and helpful. She is always happy to answer questions and offer suggestions. I highly recommend the Mad Scientist Cocktail and Mocktail Lab for anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable experience. It is a great place to go for a date night, a group outing, or just a fun night out with friends.

Fun time experimenting with cocktails. - First, the space the workshop was in was incredible. It was upstairs in a loft in an old brick building just up on Capitol Hill from the Convention Center. It felt like a hidden speakeasy. There were loads of interesting curios around the lab: an old phone (that worked), books with secret compartments, a fortune cookie dispenser with adults-only fortunes, a bar globe, among other fascinating artifacts. The host spent the first 10 or 15 minutes explaining how things work and emphasized that it was not a mixology class, but rather a laboratory where all the time was yours to spend experimenting. There seemed to be dozens of different types and brands of alcohol and hundreds of different things you could add to the alcohol: sweet syrups, flavored bitters, ice, smoke, fruit, dried spices, etc. For my first cocktail, I decided to keep it simple and create a rum old-fashioned with some spice. The drinks that followed were much more experimental, using things like avocado powder, glitter, charred salt, smoke, chocolate, and rosemary. Altogether, I made four drinks in the two hours and sampled other people's drinks as well. The host and her assistant were super friendly and answered any questions I asked them. I highly recommend this activity for both groups, singles and for a good date night.
