Happy Hour Plus!
We celebrate my husband’s birthday every spring in Nola. A class at this school is a must do on each trip. This year we tried the mixology class. We definitely plan to do it again next year. Delicious nibbles and my Ramos Gin Fizz was pure perfection. See y’all again in April!
Response from the operator: We are so glad you enjoyed our new class! We love it too.

Great time!
Happy hour was so much fun! We’ve been to New Orleans a lot, but this was a new experience. The staff were amazing! Highly recommend!

A whirlwind
Fun personable staff. It did feel disorganized and a little hectic - like there wasn't a clear plan on who was handling what and the best way to convey or go about the recipes. Started off pleasant- a pimms cup premade and some light bites - but the informative aspect of it was barely audible over the courtyard AC units. Once at stations, facilitator told us to ignore recipes we were just given and "just listen" to her and got irritable- she was reaching over us and taking things from us like we were kids. The actual cocktail making was about ten minutes and there wasn't a break to drink the first drink before we launched into the second. Felt very rushed and couldn't enjoy making the cocktail- much less having any ambience or picture time. Good value and ultimately had fun but could be improved- paced and scripted better - given some space to make the drink and follow instructions instead of being corrected and interrupted
Response from the operator: Hello! We are so grateful for your feedback during our scheduled trial class that you attended. We were able to use these details to change the structure of the class, as well as provide a microphone during the time in the courtyard. We hope these changes help to finish building a wonderful cocktail class!

Happy Hour Drinks
Loved learning more about New Orleans food and cultures. The drinks that were selected for the cocktail hour were all delicious. It was nice that we got copies of the recipes to make the drinks at home, at the end of the class. The dark and stormy was a perfect drink to have during fall.

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
New Orleans Courtyard Cocktails: Happy Hour Mixology Class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.
How much does New Orleans Courtyard Cocktails: Happy Hour Mixology Class cost?
+
Prices start at $115 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Orleans usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does New Orleans Courtyard Cocktails: Happy Hour Mixology Class take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Orleans is not rushed.
Is New Orleans Courtyard Cocktails: Happy Hour Mixology Class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Orleans, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule New Orleans Courtyard Cocktails: Happy Hour Mixology Class?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is New Orleans Courtyard Cocktails: Happy Hour Mixology Class suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book New Orleans Courtyard Cocktails: Happy Hour Mixology Class?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Orleans can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Orleans and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does New Orleans Courtyard Cocktails: Happy Hour Mixology Class start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Orleans within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New Orleans?
+
New Orleans runs on licensed guides, and it shows: the city requires certification for tour guides, so the floor is higher here than most US cities. Ghost and cemetery walks, French Quarter food crawls, plantation history day trips and swamp boat runs make up the bulk. We rank on whether the operator handles cemetery access properly, since St. Louis No. 1 needs an authorised guide. On Outty we rank every New Orleans experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include New Orleans Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour with Transportation, New Orleans Swamp Tour Boat Adventure, New Orleans Self-Transport Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New Orleans?
+
February to May and October to November. August is heat and storm season. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New Orleans?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
