Bored of ordering the same old beer or grabbing whichever wine has the prettiest label? This upcoming pop-up bar, or rather an entire house dedicated to quality drinks, will have you out of that rut, opting for spirits and mixing martinis like a pro in no time.

Between March 8–10, Dan Murphy's is hosting an interactive pop-up that will help you spot, and serve, a quality tipple. The House of Discovery, as it's been dubbed, will set up in a vacant heritage house in Chippendale on Kensington Street. With a drinks list curated by Dan Murphy's Spirit Ambassador Charlie Ainsbury (ex-This Must Be The Place), each room of the house will focus on a different alcoholic aspect — from a space celebrating all things tequila to cocktail-making presentations in a tiki room to a spread that forgoes tradition and, heroing the tipples over the nosh, matches food to drinks. Think of the whole experience as an intensive course — but with liquor and the promise of being way more fun than school ever was.

If this sounds right up your small bar-dotted alley, then we have some great news. We're giving away five double passes to opening night on Thursday, March 8. You and a mate will be granted early access to the house from 7.45pm where you'll meet with Charlie for an intimate cocktail-making session. Through an up-close demo, you'll learn the art of making your ideal cocktail by balancing the spirits you love with mixers and garnishes of your choice. By the time the crowds arrive at 8.30pm, you'll be pouring, muddling, swizzling and shaking like a pro.
