In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to make delicious cocktails and dumplings!
Have our chefs teach you our perfected recipe of two styles of dumplings, with just the right amount of herbs and spices. We'll then steam them for you in our kitchen, and you'll enjoy them at the end of the class. While we do that, you will learn about some original Asian style cocktails - you'll enjoy getting hands-on as you make (and enjoy) two different cocktails. Ideal skills for your next dinner party!
During the class, you will make and enjoy:
Pork and lemongrass dumplings
Mushroom and vegetable dumplings
Lychee cocktail
Popo trio cocktail
We can hold up to 50 people for the class in a private space onsite, perfect for any event. Alternatively, if you have tables and gas burners, we can come to you. Using it as a team-building exercise? Have fun judging the perfect dumpling, from flavour to presentation. Just get in contact for more details.
This class takes two to three hours and includes a hearty meal of dumplings (around 15 per person). Vegan and gluten-free options are available too.
We provide everything, so you just need to book, show up and enjoy. We look forward to welcoming your group!

I attended your Cocktail and Dumpling class last Saturday 18 June at Honkas Bar and Eats. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the instructions was great. I would however have liked a recipe card for the cocktails and dumplings so I can make them myself at home. If you have such a thing please email it to me at [email protected]

I chose this class for my birthday and it was so much fun and such a great idea!
The only little mishap that happened was since it was a mixed class, it seemed like our dumplings went to the other group - the number of plates/dumplings just didn't add up. However, the other table were sooo lovely and were offering dumplings to a few other tables because they felt it was too much for them. We heard and spoke to them and said our dumplings may have been mixed up with theirs. It all worked out in the end because they were thankfully very nice! If you decide to do this class, just keep an eye out for your dumplings ;)

Class was good. Would be better if they did the cocktail making whilst the dumplings were being cooked so that we didn’t have to wait around as much
Reply from this teacher:
Hey Linda
Thanks for your feedback. We have found overwhelmingly that people prefer to do the cocktail part first for a number of reasons. We will investigate ways of speeding up the process of serving the dumplings.

What a fantastic, fun way to spend an evening. From the time we walked into Honka to the time we walked out, every member of staff meeting us feel so special. Kieren's cocktail making classes are wonderful and engaging. With everything we needed to make some fun drinks with no shortage of alcohol Roselyn's dumpling making is second to none and we never once felt like we didn't know what or how to do something. How much fun yo be able yo sit doen afterwards and say 'I made those' . We came away with lots of new skills and some very fond memories.

Absolutely fantastic! The cocktail making aspect of the class taught us how to make two classic cocktails and enjoyed every minute of it. The dumpling making aspect was also amazing and taught my partner and I a new skill. The staff were very helpful and patient within the teaching process and were accommodating to my partner who has dietary requirements and catered to her needs. Will definitely come back and dine here as well, as the food was lovely too.

This was such a fun experience. I didn’t know what to expect but any idea I had was exceeded. The cocktail making was very chilled at the bar, Kieran was an easy going and fun teacher, the cocktails were delicious with quality ingredients. We learned quite a few different dumpling folds, which were clearly explained and easy for a novice but also looked great. Fillings were very tasty! Would highly recommend Honkas cocktail and dumpling class! Will likely be back with other friends.

Thank you for having my Partner and I at Honkas. We were very excited for this class and enjoyed the time however it wasn’t very personable and lacked enthusiasm. At a high price our expectations were different however the concept is good. We thought the drinks and dumplings were tasty and enjoyed the process however would have loved to see how the chefs cooked the dumplings to get the full experience.
Joanne Groot•
May 2022
A fantastic experience. Everything was set up ready on the bar for the cocktail making. The barman instructor gave clear easy to follow instructions and had a good sense of humour. The transition to dumpling making was smooth and everything was ready to go. The instructor moved around demonstrating and supporting where needed. On completion we moved to cosy set tables and enjoyed eating the dumplings.
Would be keen to go again and would definitely recommend the experience to others.
Thanks for a great afternoon.

Teacher was fantastic, learnt some great cocktail and dumpling skills. Actual useable skills to implement at home. The two cocktails were delicious, the two types of dumplings were also tasty. Location was fun and modern. Highly recommend to groups or couples in any age group above 18 really. I went with my 62 year old mother and we both had a blast. We also met the owners dog Yank the beagle, nice touch!
We gifted this class to my mother-in-law for her birthday and we had an absolute blast! The whole team at Honkas were so friendly, the class was very fun and we learned a lot. The Cocktails were delicious and we made so many dumplings that we couldn't finish them and ended up taking some home!

I really enjoyed the teacher who instructed the dumpling-making. He was patient, clear, and knowledgeable. I learned a lot.
I would have appreciated a towel while making the dumplings.
The cocoktail instruction was also very clear and delicious.
I am quite surprised that there were no recipes provided in the class. That was so unusable.
The reason given was that there was no time to prepare them however there were other classes and so there must be recipes. Can you please explain why we have not been given or sent asap.
Please provide the recipes.
With thanks,
Marcea

Such a pleasure having Hamilton and Kay be our teachers during our Cocktail and Dumpling class! Both were extremely enthusiastic and added so much fun to the classes.
They really made us feel at home, and it felt like we were having fun at our friends house. Not only were the teachers super friendly, but even the wait staff just made us feel so welcoming and important. I really like how everything is provided/the right amount/if not, even more, felt like the classes were extremely great value for money.
What an amazing experience and I will rave on about it to my friends and family. We will be back! Thanks for an amazing night!

We had a great time at this class! Covid put a spanner in the works and Hamilton was able to navigate it well and still give us a wonderful experience. The cocktail making portion was fantastic. Only thing I'd say is a recipe for each drink and dumpling would be a nice take-home.

Really enjoyed the class and thought the instructors were lovely.
Only real thing that came to mind was maybe making the dumplings first so that you could eat them with the cocktails.
Curious to see if it’s done intentionally for another reason.

This was such a fun experience The teachers were very passionate and helpful, and so were all the other staff there. The venue was felt very warm and authentic and everything we were given was great quality. It was great value for money, getting to learn how to make the cocktails (and drink them!) as well as being taught 3 different dumpling folds and then getting to eat so many. Only thing is that this class was postponed due to covid reasons which was understandable, but then it still ran later than they had said and we were quite hungry at the end. But otherwise, a really great time

Keiran was fantastic. He was extremely patient with us and talked us through every step, making it a fun, easy and delicious experience. We learnt 2 different cocktail styles and 4 different dumpling folding styles. However, I would have preferred to also be given the recipes there and to follow along with them too because I immediately wanted to replicate it and show people my dumpling and cocktail making skills. For me, the only downfall to the experience was getting the bottomless package. We kept on having to tell people every waiter that we were on the package and continually explain to us. We only ended up really having 3 drinks because the waiters took so long to get back to us. It wasn’t really value for money. Overall however it was a great experience and I’m already looking up the next course to do with my partner.

Cooked so well and I had a great time learning the 4 different folding styles that they showed us. A super enjoyable, beginners friendly class, highly recommend!

The teacher Kieran (Ciaràn?) was excellent and created a great environment for fun. The venue was equally as nice. We had a great time and would definitely do again.
Friendly and AMAZING teachers Very tolerant and accepting of everyone.
Intimidating venue at first, and late to start which called for even more nerves, but TOTALLY worth the experience, friends, food and drinks. Amazing food, despite the fact that IIIII made it LOL.
Very much worth the pay, but don't turn up early and order early drinks, or drinks after that's how the getcha!
Taking home friends, lotsa dumplings, reiterated cocktail skills and a new attitude towards the world.
Overall, thankyou.

Kieran was a fun,lively skilled teacher in this stylish venue . Mixology skills were trickier than we realised but now we feel confident to make the two delicious cocktails. We made two different types of dumplings and Kieran taught us three different ‘folds’ brilliantly! We had a giggle all the way through even though there was only us and another couple. The venue then cooked the dumplings three ways and provided yummy sauces vinegar etc to have with them and takeaway containers as we made ample. It was fantastic value and great funwe will be back!

It was a really good class. Appreciated the smaller groups and how hands on the teacher was. It was fun to learn different styles of dumplings
Had a fantastic experience at the Honkas Bar Cocktail and Dumpling making class. Our teacher was friendly and accommodating and the class itself was a fun and educational experience. The final portion sizes were more than enough for us and tasted great!

We both enjoyed the vibe at the venue. Teachers gave clear instructions as well as they were friendly and funny. We found the place fairly easily and parking was not a problem.
We both liked the lychee cocktail but didn't like the "Cucumber mulled" one.
It was a fun great night and we have recommended it to our family and friends. Thank you for a lovely, enjoyable night.
Such a great day out, would definitely recommend. Cocktails and dumplings are both delicious. Thanks!

Samir and Hamilton were absolutely incredible! We had so much fun and had a mass of dumplings to take home too! Fantastic value for money and an amazing experience :)
This was a fun experience and the drinks were nice - totally opposite tastes so my friend liked the first one we made while I preferred the second!
The dumpling recipes were great and I liked that they cooked them for us using three different methods so that we could have a nice dinner with a drink by the end of it - very nice touch!
A smaller class or an extra teacher would be an added bonus :)
Thank you team!

we had a very enjoyable afternoon with lots of fun. the only crtism i have is that no body we spoke to enjoyed the cucumber cocktail so maybe they could consider changng it as it seems a bit of a waste when so many were left. But overall great afternoon .

Nice venue. Fun teacher. Only downside I would say is that with the dumpling making it was too focussed on how to fold the dumpling not much else about making and cooking the dumplings.

This class was fun! We learned how to make 3 types of dumplings with 2 fillings, and two tasty cocktails. The instructor was fun, welcoming and clear. There was plenty of time to hang out and chat - if anything, I would have picked up the pace of the class a bit. We ended up with looooads of dumplings - bring a takeaway container!

It was a great way to spend a birthday celebration, as we got to drink the 2 cocktails we we taught to make and eat the dumplings. So it ended up being fun and good value. And a much better celebration than just sitting around a table eating dinner for a birthday.

A fun interactive class where you get to eat the spoils of your labour. Would reccomend as a fun date or hens idea.
Fantastic idea for a date night.
Enthusiastic teacher with a small class size.
Plenty of ability to just do your own thing but support is available when required.
Do not eat a large lunch if you're doing an earlier class, but they will let you take away any left over Dumplings.
Best value class in Sydney
