Team building in Brussels, at the bar of La Machine
A team that crosses to the other side of the bar: two hours at the counter, three cocktails explained, made and tasted by your colleagues. Or the Signature, with a cocktail created for your group, which keeps its name on the bar menu.
The masterclass fits around the rest of the day. After a workshop, it closes the day from 5 pm; before an afterwork, allow four hours on site; on a private hire, it is added on top of the minimum spend, without counting towards it.
In Le Boudoir, sixteen participants at most — there is only one bar station. On the ground floor: fifty for cocktails, thirty for beers, twenty-four for spirits.

Amounts excl. VAT. The estimate is indicative: the named quote is what counts.
Masterclasses at the bar counter: Cocktail Discovery, Signature, beer tasting, themed spirits or Prestige. They stand on their own or are added to a workshop, an afterwork or a private hire.
How many participants?
From eight. In Le Boudoir, sixteen at most; on the ground floor, fifty for cocktails, thirty for beers and twenty-four for spirits.
How much does it cost?
Per person, excl. VAT: from €52 down to €44 for Cocktail Discovery depending on numbers, from €66 down to €58 for the Signature, €32 or €30 for the beer tasting, €45 or €42 for themed spirits.
What is the Signature masterclass?
The whole Discovery programme, plus three spirits tasted and a cocktail created for your group, which keeps its name on the bar menu.
Can we combine it with a seminar?
Yes: the ground floor is hired by day, bar closed, €420 for a half day or €700 for a full day excl. VAT, and the masterclass closes the day from 5 pm.
And with an afterwork?
Yes: the masterclass comes first, then the afterwork takes over. Allow four hours on site.
Does the masterclass count towards a minimum spend?
No. On a private hire, it is added on top of the minimum spend, which applies to drinks: it doesn’t count towards it.
When is the date held?
When the first third of the quote reaches us, not when you enquire: we don’t hold free options.
