A night out in Aegina with a twist. This Greek inspired cocktail class turns a simple drink lesson into an actual hangout inside The Den, a secret, air conditioned speakeasy in Aegina Town. I like how hands-on it is, and I really like that you’re using Greek spirits such as Metaxa and Mastiha while hosts Kiki Rebel and Sassy Sarah keep the vibe playful and social.

Two other big wins: you’ll make and drink three eye catching cocktails, and you’ll get cocktail tricks, music, and games along the way, not just a slow lecture. One thing to consider: this is a small, intimate setting (max 12), so if you want a quiet, sightseeing style evening, this may not be your pace.

Key highlights to look for

• Secret setting at The Den in Aegina Town, inside an air conditioned speakeasy
• Three cocktails you’ll make yourself, using Greek spirits like Metaxa and Mastiha
• Hosts who teach with stories and laughs, led by Kiki Rebel and Sassy Sarah
• Fun formats beyond mixing: music, cocktail tricks, fun games, and a garnish contest
• Small group experience with a maximum of 12 people

The Den in Aegina Town: what makes this cocktail class feel special

This isn’t a generic bar tour where someone pours and you watch. The hook here is the setting: you’re headed into The Den, described as a new air conditioned speakeasy in a secret location in Aegina Town. That matters, because it changes the mood from touristy to personal. Once you’re inside, the class feels like you’ve stumbled into someone’s fun secret night out.

I also like the fact that the lesson stays Greek flavored without being complicated. The drinks are built around Greek spirits such as Metaxa and Mastiha. You’re not just copying a recipe you’ve seen a thousand times. You’re learning a style that belongs to Greece, in an Aegina setting that feels local and relaxed.

Finally, the hosts make the night work. Kiki Rebel and Sassy Sarah are cohosting, and the vibe is clearly interactive: you’ll mix, you’ll talk, and you’ll get little moments of entertainment like cocktail tricks and games. Even the history angle shows up as something you hear while you’re doing, not something you sit through.

Where you start: Avli Restaurant at 9:00 pm

Your evening begins at Avli Restaurant, P. Irioti 17, Egina 180 10, Greece, with a start time of 9:00 pm. The class ends back at the meeting point. That simple loop is useful. After two hours, you’re already near your next plan, whether that’s a late dinner or a slow walk back through Aegina Town.

One practical point: because the actual cocktail room is a secret location, you should plan to be flexible at the start. You’ll check in at Avli Restaurant, then the evening moves you from there into the hidden speakeasy setup. If you’re the type who hates surprises, you might find it slightly mysterious. If you like the idea of getting swept into something fun, you’ll probably love it.

The actual class: three cocktails, plus tricks and games

The core of the experience is straightforward: you become a bartender for the night. The class is described as interactive, with you learning to make and drink three cocktails that are meant to look as good as they taste.

Here’s what that typically means in practice. You’ll be guided step by step while still doing the real work. You’re not just receiving a drink; you’re building it. That’s how you get confidence fast, and it’s also how the night stays social. When everyone is actively mixing, there’s less waiting around and more laughing together.

What adds energy is the extras. The class includes music, cocktail tricks, and fun games. One of the most concrete examples from the experience vibe is a garnish contest. That’s the kind of small competition that turns a simple task (finishing a drink) into a moment where people cheer for each other.

Also, you should know the class is designed to stay cosy and intimate. With a maximum of 12 travelers, you’re unlikely to feel like you’re in a crowd that disappears into the background. You can actually ask questions and keep up.

Greek spirits and a taste of Greece in a fun way

The drinks are Greek inspired, built using Greek spirits such as Metaxa and Mastiha. That’s the main ingredient clue you need. You’ll learn in a way that connects the ingredients to the experience, which is exactly what makes the lesson feel like more than a party.

The hosts also add context. From the way the night is described, Kiki Rebel and Sassy Sarah explain the history behind each cocktail you make. You don’t need to be a cocktail nerd to enjoy that. Think of it like hearing the story while you work, so the learning doesn’t slow the fun down.

If you want a non-alcohol option, this is where the class can be surprisingly thoughtful. One highlight from the experience: Kiki made virgin variations for someone who wasn’t drinking alcohol. So if you prefer not to drink, it’s worth asking. A good class will meet you halfway instead of treating you as a spectator.

Alcohol included, snacks not guaranteed (so plan smart)

Alcoholic beverages are listed as included. That’s a real value point, because the cost of spirits and mixers adds up fast when you’re buying at bars.

Snacks are listed as not included. Still, some nights seem to include food in practice. Since it’s not guaranteed on the listing, I’d treat snacks as a nice bonus rather than part of the plan. If you’re doing this at 9:00 pm, you’ll be smart to eat a lighter dinner earlier or grab a small bite before you arrive, just in case your night is more drinks-first than food-first.

Also remember the class is about making and drinking. You’ll likely be tasting multiple cocktails. If you’re sensitive to alcohol, pace yourself. If you’re driving or you’ve got a strict limit, decide that up front and ask for what you need.

Group size and vibe: intimate, funny, and easy to join

This is capped at 12 travelers, and that small size changes everything. Big classes can feel like performance. Here, it reads like participation. People can rotate through tasks, ask questions, and react to what everyone else is making, which is where the laughs come from.

The reviews-based vibe (I’m summarizing what the atmosphere consistently points to) is that Kiki Rebel and Sassy Sarah are both storytellers and goof-off hosts. Expect a playful flow: games, joking, and a general sense that you’re there for a memorable night, not just to take notes and go home.

One more social detail: because the setting is a secret speakeasy and the group is small, strangers end up feeling like people at the same table. That’s great if you’re traveling solo, and it’s also good if you’re with friends and want the night to feel shared.

Price and value: $58.38 for a two-hour hands-on night

At $58.38 per person for about two hours, the price is only fair if you actually value the structure: instruction plus ingredients plus the drinks themselves, in a small group. In other words, you’re paying for the whole package.

The math gets reasonable fast because you’re making and drinking three cocktails, and alcoholic beverages are included. That means you’re not paying separately for drinks while you learn. You’re learning in the same moment you’re enjoying what you make.

You are also paying for an experience that has real atmosphere: The Den setting, music, games, and a host-led night with personality. If you’ve ever paid for a “class” where you end up mixing one drink and waiting around, this feels designed to keep you involved.

Timing and what to pair it with in your Aegina evening

A 9:00 pm start is perfect if you want a late-night activity. It also works because the class is about two hours. That gives you a clean before-and-after plan.

Before: eat earlier rather than counting on snacks. After: you’ll be back near the meeting point, so you can keep walking through Aegina Town or grab something close by.

If you’re thinking about pairing this with other plans, aim for relaxed spacing. You don’t want to schedule something demanding right after. The best part of the night is the momentum: you’ll laugh, dance at points depending on the crowd energy, and end the class still feeling like you’re in a party mode.

Who should book this Greek cocktail class (and who might skip it)

This class is a great fit if you want:

• a small-group, hands-on activity in Aegina Town
• a fun evening with Kiki Rebel and Sassy Sarah as the hosts
• Greek-inspired drinks using Metaxa and Mastiha
• an experience that includes games, music, and at least one light contest like garnish

You might skip it if:

• you want a quiet cultural stop with minimal interaction
• you’re uncomfortable in a playful group setting
• you’re not interested in learning to mix cocktails at all (because this is actively participatory)

If you’re the type who enjoys short, memorable, social activities, this fits nicely. It’s not a half-day commitment, and it’s not a museum-style experience where you need the patience of a school field trip.

Should you book it?

Yes, I’d book it if you’re in Aegina Town and you want a late-night activity that mixes culture and party energy in a small room. The big reasons are simple: you make three cocktails, you get a guided, host-led experience at The Den, and the vibe is built around fun, not formality.

If you’re choosing between this and something calmer, decide what kind of evening you want. This one is meant for laughter, mixing, and Greek inspired spirits in an air conditioned speakeasy setting. For many people, that’s exactly the point of a trip like this.
