Student Testimonials

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.

I Would definitely recommend our Professional bartending school to anyone looking to gain some knowledge about Bartending and get their license. The knowledge that you obtain is like no other!! They offer flexible schedules including Saturday weekend class. The class is hands-on in an actual bar setting — you'll learn how to make many mixed drinks, the relevant histories of various spirits, wines, and beer.

I like the school. I'm glad I did two weeks instead of one. I would recommend that to anyone who wants to attend this school. The extra time really helped reinforce everything I learned.

Awesome school! Go here! The instructors are knowledgeable and the hands-on bar training is exactly what you need to feel confident walking into any bartending job after graduation.

The bartending school was great. I loved the hands-on training, and how well they break down the drinks so we can remember them. I had a great time! The instructors make it fun while keeping it professional.

The classes were very informative and the instructors are very helpful. Had lots of fun in the two week class. The way they teach you to memorize drink recipes is really effective — I felt prepared on day one of my new job.

The job placement program is outstanding. Within two weeks of graduating I had multiple interview offers through the school. The placement director genuinely cares about finding you the right fit — not just any job.
