Offered in: English

Most cocktail classes stop at recipes. Tennessee Whiskey Workshop digs deeper. This is storytelling stitched into hospitality, where Tennessee whiskey isn’t just poured—it’s unpacked, demystified, and celebrated. You’ll use professional bar tools to create three original Old Fashioned variations, but what sets this apart is the atmosphere: no scripts, no ego, just a host who’s lived and breathed Nashville’s bar culture for 25+ years.

Set in the private Tank Room at Love & Exile, the workshop is intimate, welcoming, and rooted in Southern hospitality. Guests walk away not just with new skills, but with the kind of confidence, perspective, and insider connection that makes Nashville feel like more than a stop on the map. This is cocktail education with character—part storytelling, part hands-on craft, part Eastside magic.

What to expect

Step inside the Tank Room at Love & Exile- a private workshop space tucked away in one of East Nashville’s most beloved venues. This isn’t your average cocktail class. Over 90 minutes, you’ll mix three original Tennessee Whiskey cocktails using professional bar tools while your host weaves stories, history, and insider knowledge from Nashville’s hospitality culture. No scripts. No stuffy lectures. Just real connection and the confidence to craft drinks you’ll actually want to make again at home.

And the evening doesn’t have to end when class does. Love & Exile’s kitchen serves food designed to pair beautifully with your newfound cocktail skills. Stick around: grab a seat on the patio, share a bottle of wine, or join the locals inside the main bar. Our private entrance keeps the workshop focused, but the larger space invites you to linger.

This experience is for anyone looking to unlock a little magic in Music City whether it’s solo travelers wanting connection, couples celebrating date night, teams building camaraderie, or friends chasing a story to take home. You’ll walk away with more than recipes: expect laughter, new skills, and a real appreciation for Tennessee Whiskey
