If you want your team to be energised, connected and actually engaged, you need to shake things up. Literally!

Welcome to The Office Shake-Up, where your team swaps spreadsheets for shakers, emails for martinis, and awkward networking for an experience designed to actually bring people together. This hands-on, laughter-filled cocktail-making masterclass isn’t just about crafting drinks—it’s about crafting connection. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, rewarding your team, or just looking for a fresh new take on team bonding, this is the kind of event that will have your colleagues talking long after the last sip.

Your team will step into our stylish mixology lounge, where the atmosphere is buzzing, the cocktail shakers are lined up, and an expert mixologist is ready to guide them through a crash course in mixology mastery. Over two engaging hours, they’ll learn to shake, stir, muddle, and garnish their way through two signature cocktails, each one a test of teamwork, problem-solving, and a touch of friendly competition. The goal? To see who in the office is a natural behind the bar and who, well… should probably stick to ordering drinks instead of making them. But don’t worry, this isn’t about perfection; it’s about collaboration, creativity, and letting loose in a way that builds real team camaraderie. There’s something truly special about watching your colleagues strategise over cocktail ratios, debate the perfect citrus balance, and celebrate their mixology masterpieces with a well-earned sip. It’s engaging, it’s entertaining, and most importantly, it’s a guaranteed recipe for connection.

Between shaking and sipping, your team will be treated to a gourmet charcuterie grazing spread, because we know great cocktails deserve great food. Think premium cheeses, artisan meats, fresh breads, and all the delicious accompaniments you need for an indulgent team feast. The combination of incredible flavours, relaxed socialising, and hands-on fun creates the perfect environment for team bonding that actually feels effortless.

But that's not all, because this event is just getting started. The Next Round Awaits! The mixology session might be over, but the evening is far from finished. It’s time to take things up a notch as your team makes their way to our exclusive waterfront venue, a sophisticated oasis nestled above Southbank Promenade, offering uninterrupted views of the city skyline and glistening river below. As your team arrives, they’ll be welcomed with a fresh round of drinks, setting the perfect tone for the next stage of the evening. This isn’t just about sipping cocktails; it’s about elevating the experience, transitioning from high-energy mixology to effortless social connection in a premium setting designed to impress.

Your group will settle into a reserved seating area, curated for comfort, conversation, and connection. With lush greenery, soft ambient lighting, and an open-air atmosphere that blends relaxation with refinement, this is the perfect setting for your team to reflect on their mixology triumphs (or hilarious missteps), toast to success, and soak in the unbeatable city views. As laughter echoes across the space and colleagues connect over shared experiences and memorable moments, the magic of this experience truly unfolds.

And, wait... the best is still to come…Now that your team is fully in celebration mode, it’s time for the grand finale, an exclusive rooftop experience at one of Melbourne’s most breath taking bars. Perched high above South Melbourne, this chic venue boasts panoramic city views, lush greenery, and Hamptons-inspired décor, creating an atmosphere that is both stylish and effortlessly inviting. The moment your team steps into this open-air haven, they’ll be greeted with a bottle of bubbly, because let’s face it, nothing says ‘we’ve had a successful day’ like a toast with a view. With a reserved area designed for mingling, unwinding, and celebrating, this is where the night reaches its peak. The setting is pure perfection. Plush lounges, swaying palm fronds, and soft mood lighting set against a glittering city skyline—this is where your team gets to truly let loose and enjoy the rewards of an incredible night. As My Ultimate Team VIPs, your group will enjoy exclusive access to a discounted cocktail menu, meaning the handcrafted drinks can keep flowing well into the night.

Whether your team is gathered around toasting their wins, swapping mixology war stories, or simply soaking in the lively atmosphere, this final stop ensures that your event ends on a high note. This is not just an event; it’s an experience. One that fuses team bonding with celebration, creativity with connection, and premium hospitality with effortless fun.

Forget uninspired conference rooms, forget squeezing in an hour of ‘team bonding’ before a 9am meeting or 'just before lunch'. It’s time to give your team a real opportunity to connect and collaborate, because strong teams don’t just boost morale, they drive real results! The Office Shake-Up is team-building done right. Your team doesn’t just ‘attend’ this event, they become part of it. From the hands-on cocktail challenge that sparks collaboration and creativity to the breath taking waterfront drinks that fuel reflection, and finally, the luxe rooftop celebration that ends the night in pure style, this is an experience that transforms colleagues into a connected, engaged, and motivated team.

This is not a one-size-fits-all event. It’s a curated journey through three of Melbourne’s most stunning venues, each one designed to seamlessly transition your team from energetic engagement to relaxed socialising to ultimate celebration. Every detail is taken care of, so all you have to do is turn up and enjoy.

The catch? There isn’t one! We love what we do, and we want every team to experience the kind of energy, connection, and happiness that we live and breathe here at HQ. That said, this experience is in high demand. Everyone is searching for fresh, exciting ways to bring their team together, and spots for this event disappear faster than a perfectly poured Old Fashioned. But can you blame them? If you want to give your team an event they’ll actually love, don’t wait. Enquire with one of our dedicated Event Advisor's now and book The Office Shake-Up today!
