I checked out the experience to make some of my very own fantasy-themed cocktails.
The room
Emily Silva | Narcity
This pop-up experience of Hidden is located on Granville Street and is hidden behind a light yellow door, but once you walk inside, you are immediately transported into a fantasy world that even JK Rowling would be proud of.
But I must note that even though the pop-up has clarified that they are not affiliated with Warner Brothers or any other company, I just could not help but draw some comparisons to the famous Harry Potter world while visiting.
The cave is dimly lit and filled with trinkets galore that make you feel like you are actually living a witch or wizard life.
There were also lots of little nooks for you and your friends to explore and really feel like you are ready to make some magic potions.
How does it work?

When you first arrive at the room, you will be greeted by your “professor” for the evening as well as their “henchmen”.
Due to the ongoing effects of COVID-19, it’s BYOR (bring your own cloak), but you get a magic wand to help you through your magical journey.
Now you have to come to class with your mindset on, in order to make two of your three cocktails, you must first serve the ingredients needed to make your potion.
You do this by solving a series of puzzles and performing a few fun tasks that get you up from your seat to explore the space for hidden clues.
Once you have gathered everything you need for your bubbly creations, the professor will help you brew the more complicated potions to avoid any mundane chemical reactions.
What can you expect?

During the 90-minute experience, you get a total of three brews or sumptuous drinks, as we muggle would say.
All cocktails are very visually appealing, with the ingredients even served in small vials. The drinks range from sweet (at least to me) to a slightly more bitter taste.
Since the tickets come in at $ 44, it’s definitely a great date night for those who love the fantasy world, or it’s a great way to start a night on the town with some friends.
And once you’ve saturated the magic potions, there’s even a small garden space that’s perfect for taking some IG-worthy photos before heading out.
