The Program
Our Mixology program is designed to provide comprehensive training in all areas of professional bartending. Students learn to mix popular and classic drinks and gain working knowledge of bartending duties, alcohol awareness, and customer service — all hands-on behind a real bar.
Graduates learn to prepare 125 traditional drinks plus the latest trending cocktails. In addition, students earn beer, wine, and responsible alcohol service certifications. The school uses the Anheuser-Busch "Beertender" training program and the Guinness Beer "Perfect Pour" program.
Austin's bar market has gone through a remarkable transformation. What was once a college-bar town is now home to nationally recognized craft cocktail programs, the highest concentration of live music venues in America, and a tech-boom influx of high-earning professionals who demand quality drinks.
