Always wanted to explore our menu, but afraid of overindulging? Join us for our Winter Menu Tasting Party to try our new seasonal offerings, as well as our year-round favorites, including the Dougherty’s Old Fashioned (smoked old fashioned), Dirty Thirty (our take on a margarita), and others. Try as many as 6 different drinks and still be able to drive home!

A $30 ticket includes 6 drink tastings, appetizers, tax, and gratuity.

Mingle with friends and meet other cocktail enthusiasts during this intimate, open-format event. Staff and owners will be on hand to explain the ingredients, creative process, and history behind each drink! This is a perfect event to attend if you’ve always wondered how we name our cocktails, where we forage or source our local ingredients, or how our creations tie into Traverse City’s natural and political history. Guests will also receive a tour of the speakeasy, so be sure to bring your questions about our antiques, artwork, or our creative processes, sustainability efforts, and events!

Minimum Age: The tasting party is held within a bar/restaurant at 123 Speakeasy. All attendees must be above 21 in age to enter. Tickets and IDs will be checked at the door. (Key holders may skip the line as usual if they flash their key and the ticket.)

Check-In Policy: Guests may arrive whenever they please--sampling stations will be available during the duration of the event. We encourage guests to arrive between 5 - 6pm in order to get the most out of their experience.

Over-serving: At 123 Speakeasy, we like to encourage a quality drinking experience, with a better drinking culture. We reserve the right to refuse service to any guests that are visibly intoxicated or disruptive. If asked to leave, guests will not receive a refund.

How does seating and food/drink service work? During this event there is open seating, as we find guests prefer to socialize and mingle as they progress through the various food/drink stations.
