Full description

Level up your next date night with a cocktail class and whiskey tasting experience set against the skyline of San Francisco, California. Located on historic Treasure Island inside a restored 1930s Pan Am terminal, this hands-on evening offers a mix of mixology, history, and sweeping Bay views. You'll step behind the bar to craft three full-size cocktails using professional bar tools, all while learning the basics of balance, flavor, and presentation—no prior experience needed.
Between shaking and stirring, you'll dive into a guided tasting of three craft whiskeys and hear fascinating stories about the golden age of aviation, the 1939 World’s Fair, and Treasure Island’s surprising past. It's the kind of experience that’s fun without being gimmicky, educational without being stiff, and ideal for couples looking to do something a little different in San Francisco. With views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the city skyline, the setting is just the cherry on top.
