Bonsai Bar at Tripping Animals Brewing Co. — Make a Tiny Tree in Oakland Park | Workshop | Brewery

Q: What’s included with a ticket?

You receive a tree, a ceramic pot, two hours of instruction, and access to tools and soil plus Tree-iage follow-up support.

At Tripping Animals Brewing Co., located at 3555 N Dixie Hwy in Oakland Park, Florida, Bonsai Bar transforms a craft brewery into a hands-on mini-ecosystem. For two hours you’ll learn basic bonsai techniques, choose a tiny specimen, pot it in a ceramic container, and leave with a living keepsake and ongoing care support through the workshop’s Tree-iage program. The setting is equal parts workshop and neighborhood gathering place: the brewery’s taproom hums with conversation, rotating art and local music, and a laid-back bar where you can order a beer or a soda while you prune.

What makes this experience special is the collision of two local cultures—South Florida’s craft-beer scene and a growing interest in small-space gardening. The trees on offer are selected for life in an indoor, subtropical environment, so your miniature will be suited to the light and humidity of area homes and patios. The hands-on class covers potting, basic shaping, and maintenance; instructors provide tools and soil, and you get to keep the tree and ceramic pot at the end. Tickets are sold per person; sharing a tree is not permitted. Arrive at least 15 minutes early to check in, pick your tree and pot, and grab a drink.

Practical details matter: the workshop runs about two hours, is beginner-friendly, and requires no prior experience. It’s an excellent rainy-day alternative to beach or trail plans and a unique date-night or group activity. The brewery’s commitment to arts and community programming—present across Doral, Oakland Park, Fort Lauderdale and greater Miami—makes Bonsai Bar more than a craft session; it’s a social experiment that invites makers, drinkers and curious locals to sit side by side.

Mindful stewardship is part of the class: instructors emphasize sustainable care routines so your tree thrives without importing invasive plants into local green spaces. The venue’s atmosphere—chalkboard menus, long communal tables and a sunlit workbench—creates great photo opportunities and relaxed conversation.

Who should book? Urban gardeners, craft-beer fans, artists, and anyone who enjoys tactile, creative evenings that end with something living to care for. Whether you’re looking for a new hobby or a memorable night out in Oakland Park, Bonsai Bar at Tripping Animals turns simple tools and soil into a social ritual worth scheduling.

Booking is straightforward through the event link; tickets include a tree, a ceramic pot, two hours of instruction, and access to tools and soil. Drink purchases are separate onsite. The venue’s under-21 policy varies by location — check the specific show page or call the taproom if you plan to bring minors. Refunds are not typically issued unless the class is canceled or rescheduled; groups should review cancellation terms before purchasing. Wear comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting soil.
