Hands-On Bonsai Workshop at LauderAle Brewery in Fort Lauderdale

Bonsai Bar at LauderAle Brewery is a two-hour hands-on bonsai workshop held at LauderAle Brewery, 3305 SE 14th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Set inside a neighborhood brewing space that bills itself as the “Cheers of Fort Lauderdale,” the event swaps taproom chatter for focused plant care as you pot, prune, and shape a tiny tree to take home. The experience begins with a brief orientation to bonsai concepts—potting medium, pruning basics, and long-term care—then moves into deliberate hands-on practice. Ticketed participants each select a starter tree and a ceramic pot, borrow tools like shears and chopsticks, and spend two hours constructing a living miniature. Hosts provide soil bins, trimming shears, and a step-by-step walk-through, plus ongoing support through Bonsai Bar’s Tree-iage program so your little tree keeps thriving after you leave. What makes this workshop special is the collision of craft culture and horticulture. LauderAle’s taproom atmosphere softens the technical edges of bonsai technique, making the craft approachable for first-timers. The venue’s local focus and friendly staff create a social backdrop for learning: bring a friend, order a beer or a bite, and trade tips at the table. Because most venues are family-friendly, attendees under 21 may be allowed with a guardian; check the venue’s under‑21 policy before booking. For Fort Lauderdale visitors, this is a low-impact, high-reward urban activity that complements waterfront outings and beach days. Key features here are the starter bonsai trees, ceramic pots, basic bonsai tools, and a two-hour guided format. Expect tropical and subtropical houseplant material typical of South Florida workshops and clear, practical instruction rather than abstract theory. Practical notes: arrive at least 15 minutes early to choose your tree and pot and get checked in. Tickets are sold per person, one tree per attendee, and drinks are not included in the class fee. Cancellations are handled if an event is canceled or rescheduled by Bonsai Bar; refunds are not typical for individual cancellation. Tickets include the living tree you choose, a ceramic pot, two hours of guided instruction, and access to Bonsai Bar’s Tree-iage aftercare program; tools and soil bins are provided to borrow during class. LauderAle’s neighborhood-focused vibe turns the lesson into a communal night out, pairing hands-on learning with local brewing culture. This workshop fits neatly between beach and boat days, and gives locals a friendly place to meet fellow plant-curious people after a long week.
