A Harry Potter-Themed Mixology Class is Coming to New York

Harry Potter may have hated potions class, but New York City Muggles might find it a little more palatable. A Hogwarts-themed pop-up bar is coming to the Big Apple, and it's set to be a lot more fun than Professor Snape's version. The Cauldron, a fantastical mixology course, is opening in September, according to Guest of a Guest.

The Cauldron started as a Kickstarter-funded London pop-up in March 2018, complete with magic wands, robes, and simmering cauldrons. It proved so successful there that its creators decided to take it across the pond. The limited-run New York City pop-up will run for four months at Bavaria Bier Haus, a beer hall in Lower Manhattan.

The class goes far beyond the typical pop-up bar experience, adding Harry Potter flair by using more than just a few Hogwarts-inspired decorations. When you arrive at the one hour, 45 minute class, you'll get a robe and an internet-connected magic wand that you'll use to activate aspects of your workstation. You'll brew two delicious cocktails that change color, bubble, and smoke within your cauldron, all the while sipping mead and a special limited-edition beer from Six Point Brewery called Hell Broth.

Tickets run from $45 to $55, depending on the class time. Book here.
