Join us for our popular Chocolate Master Class in the gorgeous surrounds of Brooklyn Cocktail Bar with a special focus on women in chocolate + special inclusions, to celebrate International Women's Day (8 March).

What you'll learn about chocolate?
Not only will you eat great chocolate, but we'll take you on a journey of all things chocolate; from the fascinating history (including how chocolate as an aphrodisiac dates back to Aztec times), the process of turning a cocoa bean into artisan chocolate, the dark side of chocolate and why ethics matter, how to identify good chocolate - and the art of tasting chocolate using your five senses.
Our Chocolate is Ethical and Sustainable
We'll be blunt - the chocolate industry has some pretty nasty ethical and sustainability issues and the vast majority of chocolate is neither ethical, nor sustainably sourced, despite what marketing may suggest.
But there's also good news!
We actively source our chocolate only from bean-to-bar makers who seek out the best beans in the world and work with growing communities and to support them, and their environment for continued production and prosperity for the growers. This means direct trade which is the only form of trade that offers transparency and certainty about where your chocolate comes from.
About Brooklyn Cocktail Bar
Loving the idea of creating their own cocktail bar and still struggling finding the elusive 10/10 espresso martini, they decided why the hell not!
With no background in hospo - but a background in property and interior design. James and Rach tackled a huge task of renovating the old icon Saintly Burgers shop to Brooklyn - and you'd never know this was once a burger joint. Now it's am elegantly stunning, welcoming space - with the best cocktails south of the river!
