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!

MIXOLOGIST EXTRODINARE - We look for bar tender MELISSA, most fabulous mixologist!!! Perfection in my cocktail...Bourbon Sour TO DIE FOR. Not only is it a WORK OF ART, its a taste of Heaven.
Melissa is meticulous and friendly,,,I told her she can never leave...we look for her yearly.
Only down size, my poor husband had to drink canned beer and only 2 lite beer choices, not his Coors light, a chilled glass and bottled beer would have made his day, especially since my cocktails were $17 a piece, but worth every penny.
Go see Melissa, so entertaining watching her make phenomenal drinks.

Stirred not Shaken! - This class is fun and informative! Who knew there was so much to know about old fashions and how to make them?! We had a blast. Learned so much and walked away with mad skills about mixology and how to properly stir a cocktail. This is a must do. Totally worth it. Totally fun! Do it!!!

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.

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