What to Expect from the Experience

This isn’t just a cocktail tasting—it’s a full interactive adventure set in a cleverly designed saloon. From the moment you arrive outside Moonshine Saloon on Seel Street, you’re stepping into a different world. The experience lasts about 1 hour and 45 minutes, giving you plenty of time to get involved or sit back and enjoy the show.

Your journey begins with being dressed up in western attire—courtesy of local tailors who kit you out to look the part. We hear from one reviewer who appreciated how staff never broke character, making the whole thing feel like you’ve wandered onto a movie set. The costumes, along with a Hats and Western gear provided, help you slip right into the story.

As the story unfolds, actors portraying characters like the sheriff, Clyde Cassidy, and Lady Ada interact with you, guiding you through different scenes. The storyline is designed to be engaging but light, making it accessible whether you’re a history nerd or just after some fun.

The Saloon Set and Atmosphere

The set design is a highlight. Think classic saloon décor, with attention to detail that makes you feel miles away from Liverpool’s city streets. It’s a lively, social environment where the energy is upbeat but not overwhelming. The actors are highly talented—never breaking character—and they do a fantastic job of creating a believable Wild West atmosphere.

Many reviews mention how the saloon looks impressive and feels authentic enough for a photo or two. You’ll find yourself genuinely transported, especially with the costumes and set design working together to give you that old-time Western vibe.

The Cocktails and Smuggling Moonshine

Here’s where things get fun—and a little mischievous. You’re encouraged to bring your own unopened bottles of alcohol, which the bartender will incorporate into your custom cocktails or mocktails. This adds an element of surprise—what will you smuggle in, and how will it taste in your drink?

The experience includes 3 personalized cocktails or mocktails, crafted with the moonshine you provide. This personalized touch seems to be a hit among guests, one reviewer even noting how “cocktails were amazing.” If you’re a fan of creative drinks or just like the idea of customizing your own, this part of the experience definitely adds value.

Just remember, you’ll want to bring sealed, unopened bottles and be mindful of the sheriff’s watchful eye—think of it as a playful nod to the original prohibition days.

Playing the Part and Interacting

For those who love to get involved, the experience offers the chance to try out your American accent, play dice and card games with the locals, and generally get into the spirit of the Wild West. If you’re a bit shy or just prefer to observe, that’s totally fine—there’s plenty of fun to be had just soaking in the atmosphere.

One review mentions that the staff and actors never break character, which helps keep the experience feeling genuine and immersive. The friendly group setting makes it easy to chat, laugh, and enjoy the playful storyline.
