Shake Your Own Drinks Under a Cabana in Downtown Charleston

The class sits on the covered patio behind a Calhoun Street dive bar. Three drinks, snacks and the bar tools are part of the booking.

Shake your own cocktails under a Charleston cabana.

Frontier Lounge opens onto Calhoun Street with a 1970s front room, and the class does not happen there. You walk through and keep going until you are outside at the back bar, under cover.

Two hours. Three cocktails, bar snacks, water, and a set of bar tools that are yours for the session. The operator splits the time as three parts drinking, two parts snacking, one part learning, which is a fair description of the ratio.

The class is 21 and over and a valid ID is required to take part. Everyone in the party also completes a liability waiver, which the operator sends by message and SMS before the session.

📍 135 Calhoun St, near the top of the peninsula. Go in the front door of Frontier Lounge and carry on to the outdoor bar at the back. The operator asks you to arrive fifteen minutes early.

Confirmation is instant. The booking window for a given day closes at 7:00 AM, so a same-day seat has to be claimed in the morning. One booking takes up to fifteen travelers.

What the two hours hold

The format is hands-on. Bar tools are set out for you to use, and the operator lists three cocktails, basic bar snacks and water as part of the booking.

Spirit Youngblood and Logan Lucky are named as the hosts for this outdoor session, and the class runs in English.

The drinks come with the prohibition-era history that gives the class its name. The operator calls this outdoor session a lighter take on cocktail making. The pacing is built for a patio afternoon.


The bar is outdoors, and the weather policy follows

The back bar sits outside under cover, which is where the name comes from. Shade is built in. The heat is not filtered out.

This listing carries no bad-weather cancellation, and it does not cancel for low numbers either. The twenty-four hour rule is the only route to a refund. A doubtful forecast is therefore a decision to make the day before, not on the morning.

Dress for sitting outside for two hours.


Getting in, and who the listing says it fits

The listing marks the experience wheelchair accessible, with all areas and surfaces accessible and wheelchair-accessible transport options nearby. Service animals are allowed. Public transport runs close by.

It also marks the activity as suitable for all physical fitness levels, and not recommended for pregnant travelers.

Those are the marks the operator has set on the listing. The route to the class runs in through the front room and out to the bar at the back.
