This event is sold out for women. Hey guys, mosey on over to the class listing for guys to grab yourselves a ticket before it sells out!
Chocolate bears, red roses, conversation hearts. We understand the dismay that that pesky little mid-February “holiday” brings to those of us single folk. But enough!, we say. We’re here to put an end to the pity party.
Dabble is partnering with Project Fixup - a digital matchmaker that fixes people up over a fun thing to do and an interesting person to meet - to feature the first-ever Dabble Singles Event. We’ve concocted the perfect antidote to Valentine’s Day: a cocktails class with a master mixologist in a fun, relaxed, mingling-endorsed environment.
In this class, we’re scratching our itch for dapper, romantic drinks from bygone eras. This speakeasy-themed craft cocktail class will celebrate Chicago’s notorious roots in Prohibition by delving into a myriad of once-forbidden cocktails and whiskeys.
First we'll learn about these flapper-esque drinks, and then... we'll taste! Every participant will learn to make four craft cocktails and receive sampling portions of each. Leave with a handful of great recipe ideas, should the mood strike you to throw your own "gangster" themed soiree, and with a greater appreciation for the alcoholic delicacies served in old-time forgotten havens.
Here’s the catch: we’ll be accepting 16 men and 16 women max*. Singles only!** Go ahead and register, come alone or grab a friend, and we’ll see you there!
A bit of housekeeping...
* We’ve set the maximum at 32 people, 16 men and 16 women.
** As part for this class, you’ll fill out a short Project Fixup questionnaire. We’ll send this to you as follow up after you register and it’ll help you meet people at the event - should be fun!
*** Can’t make this class but interested in future Dabble / Project Fixup events? Please take a minute to fill out this short questionnaire to help us better prepare for future events.
NOTE: This class is a straight singles. Stay tuned for upcoming LGBT singles events!
All ages welcome
Must be single! (An open mind and friendly attitude are musts, too!)

The Mixology portion of the class was really fun. Learning the history behind the drinks we were sampling definitely made the evening interesting! As for the "singles" part I was a little disappointed in that. I ended up being paired with a guy nearly 10 years younger than me. I completed the questionnaire prior to the event, but felt that none of the things I put on it were really considered. The evening was still fun and the people I met were very cool. But I felt a little weird about how the "pairing" was done. It left me with a lot of questions about the "fixup" process. Anyhow, it was overall a very fun night and I would totally do a Dabble class again (not sure I'd do a singles event though.) ;)

This was a great class, we learned a lot both about mixology and history and everyone who attended seemed like they were there to have fun and were ready to learn
