A fun evening with my girlfriends! You're treated to a great show with lovely drinks at hand... in our opinion the drinks were not enough (of course) but the over all experience was nothing like anything. We're definitely going back to enjoy the show again.

A boozy show. Honestly, we felt as though the 'craft' cocktails weren't as good as they should have been... but you get to learn a hell lot from the show and it takes you on a trip of a lifetime. Go for this if you're aching to learn a few what's about cocktails.

We've watched the festive version of this one and we loved it. But A Spirited History remains a personal favourite. The cast is warm and engages with everyone present in the room... the intimate setting also allows you to loosen up a little if you want to. And oh, what a lovely selection of cocktails they have! Perfect evening.

Cocktails and comedy, need I say anything more? But really, the cast is down to earth and super approachable... this play has a personal touch that not many Broadway or off-broadway plays can perfect. You simply cannot resist the charm of their story telling. Visiting for the festive version this Christmas.
