COCKTAIL COURSE
Nedre Løkka is one of Oslo’s well-known cocktail bars and also hosts cocktail classes for groups of up to 60 people. Here, you step behind the bar and learn the basics of cocktail making from experienced bartenders.
The class is practical and interactive. You’ll make drinks yourself, learn techniques like shaking and stirring, and get a simple introduction to syrups and bar basics. The bar is reserved for your group, with music and a relaxed atmosphere.
Practical Information:
Learn to make cocktails in the heart of Grünerløkka. Hands-on, social, and led by some of Oslo’s best bartenders.
-
Bachelor & bachelorette parties · Birthdays · Groups of friends · Corporate events · Private parties · Weddings
-
The class starts with a welcome drink from Nedre Løkka’s signature menu — a small taste of what’s possible. Then the bartenders take over and guide you through the essentials every cocktail enthusiast should know: technique, balance, flavor, and the little details that make a drink stand out.
You’ll make classic cocktails of your choice, experiment with techniques like shaking, stirring, and mixing, and take the recipes home with you. The entire bar is reserved for your group — with your own music, a great atmosphere, and bartenders focused on making the experience memorable.

No two groups are the same — and neither are our classes. Want a pure gin-focused session? All-in on tequila? A theme that matches your occasion — bachelor/bachelorette party, company event, birthday?
Just tell us what you’re looking for, and we’ll take care of the rest. We have experience with everything from relaxed gatherings to high-energy celebrations, and we know how to tailor the night to the group in front of us.
-
Cocktail classes can be arranged on request and scheduled at a time that suits your group. Availability depends on group size and booking, so we recommend getting in touch to plan a time.
-
We also offer a non-alcoholic version of the cocktail class. You’ll use the same techniques and ingredients, just without alcohol, so everyone can fully participate and enjoy the experience.

POP-UP & EVENTS
At the office, at a festival, in an event venue, a party tent, on a boat, or in your garden — we can set up a bar and run the course wherever you are. Not every event fits into a fixed setting. And they don’t have to. Our pop-up cocktail experience brings a full cocktail course to your chosen location — at home, at work, in a VIP festival tent, on the water, or during a wedding celebration.
We bring all equipment, set up the bar on site, and deliver a complete hands-on cocktail class with the same quality, energy, and atmosphere as at Nedre Løkka — just in new and unexpected surroundings.
Whether it’s 10 colleagues in a meeting room in Oslo or 300 guests in a tent at Aker Brygge, we make it work.
Not just a course — also an exclusive cocktail bar
Pop-up doesn’t have to mean a course. It can also be an exclusive cocktail bar that elevates your event.
We set up a full bar with professional bartenders who take care of your guests all night. Guests can simply enjoy or step behind the bar and make their own drink with guidance.
Perfect for weddings, corporate events and parties where the bar becomes part of the experience, not just a service.
Practical Information:
-
To run the course at your location, we need access to electricity, sufficient space to set up the bar, and where applicable, the necessary alcohol serving licence. We can also apply for a temporary licence if required.
-
Each pop-up event is priced individually, as every setup is different. Some events require delivery the day before with pickup after, while others are completed the same day, which affects the price.
As a guide, transport and bar setup in the Oslo area starts from NOK 5,000 excl. VAT. Travel and staffing costs apply outside Oslo. Drinks are billed from NOK 160 excl. VAT per drink.
Get in touch for a non-binding quote. We always tailor the setup to your event and needs.
-
We recommend at least 14 days’ notice to ensure proper planning, staffing, and equipment readiness. Earlier is always better, especially in peak season.
-
We operate nationwide across Norway. Travel outside the Oslo region affects pricing, but it does not limit us. If you’re planning an event elsewhere in the country, get in touch and we’ll make it work.

ABOUT US
The story behind the cocktail course
at Nedre Løkka
Origin
It didn’t start as a concept. As Nedre Løkka became known as one of Oslo’s best cocktail bars, guests began asking: “Can we learn this?” And we always said yes. Since 2017, we’ve hosted cocktail courses for thousands of guests — friends, companies, couples, and curious beginners. What started organically has grown into one of Norway’s most popular cocktail course concepts.
Today, we offer three formats: at Nedre Løkka, at Oslo Event Hub, and as pop-ups nationwide. The goal is simple: to build Norway’s leading cocktail course platform.
What we believe in
We don’t believe in lectures or PowerPoints. We believe in learning by doing. The best way to understand a cocktail is to make it yourself, with guidance from people who care about the craft.
Good atmosphere, hands-on learning, and real hospitality. Not just serving drinks, but sharing knowledge.
Nedre Løkka Cocktailbar
Nedre Løkka Cocktailbar & Lounge is located at Thorvald Meyers gate 89 in the heart of Grünerløkka, Oslo. Since opening, it has become a reference point on the Norwegian cocktail scene and has been voted Norway’s best atmosphere bar, with guests returning time and time again.
We are pioneers in RTD (ready-to-drink) in Norway, collaborate with festivals and leading industry partners, and have built a team driven by curiosity and a passion for learning. The atmosphere is no accident, but the result of years of intentional choices about what kind of place we want to be.
-
Our cocktail courses cost NOK 575 per person incl. VAT for groups of up to 500 people.
For pop-up events at your location, pricing is tailored individually based on setup, number of bars, and location. Get in touch and we’ll create an offer that fits your event.
-
We offer cocktail courses for groups from 10 to 500 people, and we tailor the format to the group size.
-

Prefer another location? We can also bring the course to you.
-
Yes. A cocktail course is one of our most popular team building activities for companies, and for good reason.
It’s hands-on, social, and never forced. Everyone starts at the same level, works with their hands, and naturally starts interacting in a relaxed setting while learning a new skill they can use at home.
It’s the kind of experience people talk about afterwards, not because they had to be there, but because it was genuinely fun.
-
Yes. Cocktail courses are one of our most popular activities for bachelor and bachelorette parties, and it’s easy to see why.
It’s fun from the very start, social, relaxed, and you actually learn something you can use later. Best of all, you make the drinks yourselves.
Bring the party, we’ll take care of the rest.
-
Yes, absolutely. Want a pure gin session, a tequila-focused course, mocktails only, or a theme that matches your event? Just let us know.
We adapt both content and atmosphere to your group, whether it’s a Great Gatsby-style party or an exclusive whisky night for enthusiasts.
-
You don’t leave empty-handed — everyone receives recipes so you can recreate the drinks at home.
Depending on timing and availability, you’re welcome to stay and continue the evening at Nedre Løkka, one of Oslo’s most popular cocktail bars.
Not every activity ends with a perfect Margarita and new friends behind the bar.
