ABOUT US
At SMU Barworks, we don’t just drink alcohol. We provide a rare opportunity for students to
learn more about the common concoctions in the world of alcohol. Learn about the history
of cocktails from the classic margarita to the elegant martini and experience how to make
them from scratch. More importantly, Barworks is where you can discover your likes and
dislikes drinks-wise, gain knowledge and the develop the skills to impress at your next
social drinking event!
Founded in 2009, Barworks was born out of a love for mixology and a desire to share the art
of bartending with the SMU student population. Barworks offers a series of bartending
courses each semester, teaching participants the craft and inside knowledge of the trade
while promoting responsible drinking to SMU students.

"I’ve always had an interest in making drinks and even once considered becoming a bartender. I enjoy making drinks at home, however I’ve never had the opportunity to properly learn the basics. I think joining Barworks is a great opportunity for me to nurture my interest in bartending and a fun way to get to know people with similar likings."
- Jessica, School of Social Science Year 1
"I've always loved the unique taste that cocktails have that you can build with the right skills, as well as the social environment that comes with drinking, hence Barworks would be a good place to learn and also to socialize with other like minded individuals."

FAQ
You get priority access and discounted prices to SMU Barworks workshops, which have limited slots available for the student population!
Unfortunately not, as we have strictly calculated alcohol limits to help ensure you get home safely.
The presenter will guide you through the history of the drinks and the basic tools we need for bartending, then you will be given the recipe and instructions of the cocktail. There will be plenty of time for you to mix your own drink and enjoy it while our excos walk around and engage with you. There will usually be three cocktails introduced in each workshop.
Workshops are conducted twice to thrice at carefully planned dates throughout the semester!
