Cooking, mixing, and gathering — all in one kitchen.

At Maxwell Social, the kitchen isn’t just a space to prepare food; it’s a place to connect. Whether you’re planning a collaborative cooking experience, a cocktail class, or an intimate chef-led dinner, our kitchens are built for participation.

We’ve hosted members for family-style meals, company offsites centered around cooking, and nights where the highlight wasn’t just the food on the plate, but who helped make it.

What You Can Host

  • Cocktail Classes led by mixologists
  • Hands-on cooking sessions for teams or groups
  • Chef’s Table dinners with curated menus and live prep
  • Culinary workshops exploring techniques or cultural cuisine
  • Interactive dinner parties where guests prepare and share together

With space for large groups to gather comfortably, and all the tools to support professional-level prep and presentation, Maxwell’s kitchens make it easy to turn food and drink into shared experience.
