See why guests call it the most fun they’ve had in San Francisco:
This was an AWESOME experience. My host was incredible - super knowledgeable and made the entire experience from start to finish, fun. I surprised my boyfriend with this on his birthday and he absolutely loved it. We learned a lot about the technique of crafting 3 classic whiskey cocktails, and it was even fun for someone like myself who doesn't drink whiskey. The group was energetic, we even made some new friends along the way. And the location is hard to beat, we got super lucky with clear skies and the views of the city were stunning!
The price of this class more than paid for itself. We had 3 tastings and made 3 cocktails. Afterward we brought the cocktail to the bar and enjoyed some jazz. Our teacher Nick was very knowledgeable about the drinks. We all had a good time. This location is very unique with easy parking. I'd recommend it for any occasion especially date night.
What a wonderful experience! I learned so much about whiskey and the details of making great cocktails, coupled with great storytelling. As an Airbnb employee, I have participated in many Experiences,. This one is by far the best. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a fun afternoon, whether it's solo or as a group. And who doesn't want to visit Gold Bar Whiskey on Treasure Island??
This experience was the most fun I’ve had in a long time. Great value and views. We went with a group as part of my Sister’s bachelorette party weekend and it was our favorite activity of the trip. Highly recommend this amazing experience!!!
