Step into an evening where craft meets cuttings at Bonsai Bar @ Block 40, a hands-on bonsai workshop staged inside Block 40 Food Hall in Hollywood, Florida. Located at 1820 Hollywood Blvd, across from Young Circle, this two-hour, 21-plus class turns the traditionally private art of bonsai into a social, drink-friendly night out.

The room feels part pop-up studio, part neighborhood tavern: long communal tables, a brew bar at one end, and a nostalgic game area that keeps conversation light while instructors guide you through the fundamentals. Teachers introduce core concepts — pruning, basic wiring, root pruning, soil choice and pot selection — and then hand over the tools so you can pot, shape and design your own tiny tree. You’ll choose your favorite sapling and pot, work through hands-on pruning and styling, and leave with an original living piece and a short care plan to keep it healthy at home.

What makes this more than a craft class is where it happens. Block 40 Food Hall is a downtown hub in Hollywood’s walkable core, bringing together local food vendors, live music, and craft drinks that extend the experience beyond a single table. The contrast between the urban food hall and the slow, deliberate practice of bonsai creates a memorable urban-nature moment: miniature trees created under bright pendant lights with the rustle of other diners and the distant avenue trees of Young Circle outside the door.

Practical notes matter: arrive at least 15 minutes before your session to order food and drinks and secure your tree and pot. The event is strictly 21-plus; bring government ID. Classes run about two hours and space is limited, so booking ahead is advised. Bonsai Bar does not generally issue refunds unless a session is canceled or falls below minimum enrollment, so plan accordingly.

This workshop is ideal for curious beginners and social makers who want a tactile project without committing to a long course. It’s also a unique way to spend an evening in Hollywood’s downtown district: learn a craft, sip a local brew, and walk back past Young Circle—named for city founder Joseph Wesley Young Jr.—with a living souvenir in hand. Reserve your seat through the event page and treat a night out as a creative workshop.

All materials are provided — pots, soil, pruning shears and wiring — and instructors provide concise aftercare covering watering, seasonal pruning and repotting windows. Whether marking a birthday, planning a creative date night, or picking an unusual gift, the session mixes instruction with a social vibe. Check the event listing for private bookings.
