Join Time Out Market Union Square for Booze & Build on Sunday, April 12 from 4:00 to 6:00 pm, where creativity and cocktails come together for a playful, hands-on afternoon in the heart of the Market.

Guests are invited to grab a drink and settle in with a wide selection of building sets, ranging from detailed botanicals and beer mugs to cats, pirate ships, and more. For those feeling especially creative, freestyle bricks will be available to design something entirely your own. Whether you are carefully following instructions or building off instinct, the experience is designed to be approachable, social, and just a little bit competitive.

Throughout the event, attendees can take part in lighthearted competitions, drinking games, and creative challenges that keep the energy moving and the ideas flowing. It is an easy way to break the ice, meet new people, or spend time with friends in a setting that feels interactive rather than passive.

With building set rentals included with admission, guests can enjoy the full experience without needing to bring anything but their imagination. Pair your build with cocktails, beer, or wine from the Market’s bars, and explore a variety of food options from Time Out Market’s lineup of acclaimed vendors.

Booze & Build offers a nostalgic twist on a classic pastime, reimagined for a lively, grown-up setting. Whether you are planning a date, organizing a group outing, or simply looking for something different to do on a Sunday afternoon, this is an experience that blends creativity, connection, and a touch of friendly competition.
