Your Guide To Happy Hour And Cocktail Masterclasses In Spitalfields
There are two kinds of nights out: the kind where you show up, order a drink, and leave whenever, and the kind where you actually do something. 68&SHANGHAI does both, and honestly, the best nights here usually end up being a bit of each. Here's everything you need to know about our £5 Happy Hour and our hands-on Cocktail Masterclass, so you can plan whichever version of the night you're after.
£5 Happy Hour? Basically Every Day
Happy Hour at 68 runs Tuesday to Saturday until 8 pm, and on Sundays it's all day, because Sunday deserves better than being an afterthought. £5 gets you into a rotating list of cocktails and drinks, no membership, no app, no catch. Just turn up.
It's the easiest way to try 68 without committing to a full night out- grab a drink after work, before dinner, or as the warm-up to whatever you're actually here for. Have a look at Happy Hour at 68&SHANGHAI here.
Cocktail Masterclass: Make It, Don't Just Order It.
If you'd rather learn how the drink is made than just order it, the Cocktail Masterclass is a 60-minute, hands-on session for groups of 2–8 guests, running Thursday to Saturday at £ 29 pp. You'll shake, stir, and taste your way through a set of cocktails with guidance from the team, genuinely one of the more fun ways to spend an hour in Spitalfields, whether it's a date, a birthday, or "we had an afternoon free and this seemed better than a pub."
The class isn't tied to one specific room; your session gets confirmed in whichever space suits the day, so the exact spot is sorted when you book rather than fixed in advance. Want to know more about a cocktail masterclass at 68&SHANGHAI? Click here.
