Absolutely loved my experience learning at this school. A class that truly can teach anyone anyone and everything from the types of liquor, to over 70 of the most known and widely ordered cocktails. The instructors did a great job not just helping with teaching the material but also with showing ways of how to be the most efficient yet hospitable to guests! Anyone who is serious about learning and getting their certification should absolutely attend abc! read more

ABC Bartending School - Bartending Schools Near Me - Miami, Florida

Huge confidence builder. All I came with was a will to learn and each instructor did an amazing job of guiding me. The environment successfully mimics the atmosphere of a bar, you are held to a high standard and are expected to perform all of your duties, but the character of instructors like Mark and Rick do a really good job of putting you at ease and getting you to feel comfortable. You learn pretty quickly to multitask and do your job whilst the instructors are telling you some of the most outlandish stories you've ever heard. It was really challenging and tough at times, but that only served to make me more confident in the skills I was learning. It's a lot of information packed into one short course, but the instructors were very patient when they needed to be and provide everything you need to succeed. All in all I would highly recommend this for anyone who is thinking about bartending and wants to build a strong foundation from the jump. Enormous thanks to Mark, Rick, Andreina & Wanda for showing me the way! read more

ABC is the real deal for learning how to mix cocktails as well as the best practices for being a solid bartender. The classroom has all the elements of a real-world bar (except the alcohol). Mark is very helpful and makes the course fun. I really enjoyed learning the recipes and the processes for building my favorite drinks -- and learning new ones! After completing the course, ABC got me some great bartending shifts. I'm grateful to the folks at ABC, and I'm proud to have a bartending certificate from them. read more

After going to so many bars and telling bartenders that I was taking this course and getting so many bitter responses such as, "why are you taking a course" or "you're wasting your money just start at a host and work your way up" I can understand why they say these comments. I am leaving this course with so much knowledge and an ADVANTAGE in the business. That's why everyone I spoke to was so bitter! It's a lot of information to learn so I recommend that you study starting the first day of class. They won't let you fail but they will push you very hard. It's great! read more

Great experience and learned so much. I highly recommend going here to get your license and to build your confidence behind the bar. Thank you to mark and everyone at ABC for teaching me. read more

I loved taking this course. Mark, the director, was a great instructor and very personable guy. It's a lot of information to learn in a short amount of time but you're learning from the best and leave with a greater understanding of the industry - everything from the history of each liquor, to the recipes of hundreds of drinks, specific drink-making techniques, and how to upsell on the job. I definitely feel more confident in my skills to apply for real bartending jobs now. read more

By far best experience ever! Since i wanted to venture out and try something new, bartending was on my bucket list. I came across Abc Bartending through online research & reviews and i dont regret it one bit! Since the day i walked into the school to sign up i felt comfortable there - a little nervous since it was all new, but comfortable . The instructors Mark, Rick & Kenny made learning so fun and they made sure you left that school knowing your sh*t. I love how they really care about their students and they give their all teaching. If i could do it all over again, i would! read more

My experience at ABC has been nothing short from extraordinary. I had the pleasure of being taught by Mark, Queen, Ken, and Rick. All instructors were very detailed and helpful in their teaching. They're also all hysterical, don't worry about feeling bored during class! - It was an enjoyable time! In this class you'll learn the basics of Bartending, you'll practice hands on drinks, and anything you need to know to fly into the real world of Bartending with level 10 confidence. To get more practice the school offered me a volunteered work event, where I was able to talk to actual customers, use real liquor, and gain tips! This really helped me as I didn't feel nervous talking to customers on my first day of my actual bartending job. Felt like a pro! What I love best and makes this school different from the rest is they offer job placement! As soon as I graduated, 2 hours later, I got a job presented to me by the school. Definitely recommend!!! read more

It was a privilege to learn under Mark. ABC bartending was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Not without difficulty but well worth the time and energy it takes to graduate.

I signed up for the class because I had been a server and manager in a restaurant for several years and wanted to expand my experience. The main instructor Mark is an exceptional teacher. He makes it very easy to remember recipes for the drinks. However you must put time aside to study because there is a lot of information to remember. I recommend to anyone that is interested in being bartender to give the course a try. It's fairly priced and I had a great time while I was there! read more

Had such a great experience with this school. Mark the instructor was very knowledgeable and made the class fun.

Such an amazing experience with Mark! Great teachers and hands on training! They give you all the tips and tricks you need to become a successful bartender for a establishment or if you want to be a bartender on your own. They certify you and offer free practice hours after you graduate. It really helped me master all the drinks by the stimulation of a real bar. I can't describe it, I really had such a great experience here. Best part about it is that they help with job placement on certain days of the week to help you out after you graduate. It's not as hard as it looks, but you do have to put your time and effort. read more

Literally just completed my two week, 40 hours bartending course with Latifa aka Queen. It was not a breeze but we learned more than enough. A great lesson indeed and a wealth of information with the original recipes, from the Old Fashion to the Champagne cocktails. I highly recommend student to enroll with Queen, she is full of life and energy, she will replace your morning coffee for sure!!! read more

Disclaimer: This is not DeVry. You're not paying for the chance to earn a certificate. This course helped me to appreciate bartending as a craft and you won't find a better teacher than Mark. After a 5 day intensive course in mixology, bar culture and terminology, and product knowledge I feel extremely well equipped for my next interview. Even if you are not looking to become a bartender and just enjoy entertaining, you will blow your friends and family away with your expertise. With this course you will have a foundation that will equip you not only to make any drink but also understand what makes a good drink so you can create some of your very own signature recipes. read more

Amazing instructors with a passion to help their students succeed!

Had a great experience! Very disciplined and well taught. Something to be taken seriously because there is a lot of information, you get out what you put in. I was able to get hands-on experience through events throughout the training. Highly recommend! read more

ABC Bartending School runs a very well organized program. Make no mistake about it, you will have to put in some time studying recipes and review course work, but they do a really good job of grouping topics into easily digestible pieces; never too much information in one day. Lead instructor Mark Drobiarz is a wealth of knowledge. I found his passion for the industry inspiring. He regularly tours breweries and distilleries around the country leaning about fine details that he is happy to share with students. I found the program to be a great value; $395 for two weeks of instruction and ongoing, life-time job placement support. I couldn't recommend the value of this program enough. read more

The best ! I learned and enjoyed the process ..Hands on training and you get all the tools and books youll need . Mark is an amazing instructor , will guide you through everything patiently as well as the other instructors. It was worth every penny. Thank you abc bartending !!!!!!! read more

ABC what can I say. Mark has opened doors for me that otherwise would've remained dormant. I'm forever grateful for all the great experiences I have experienced, stemming from the Bartending life. All thanks to the maestro, Mark and all the great people he surrounds himself with. Mark has landed more jobs for people than anyone else I know. Thanks for everything you do Mark. Cheers read more

Having completed this course as someone who is already working as a bartender, ABC is nothing short of a wonderful learning opportunity for beginners & those wanting to learn more. You'll learn so many drinks, you'll feel like your brain is going to explode, but Mark, Rick & Latifah leave you learning & laughing all through class, creating a uniquely efficient learning environment. I've already recommended the program to many, it's worth it & is a great welcome to the world of bar tending. read more

Great course, very informative. Excellent instructors. Took the course and in 10 days had my certificate and already started making money. Mark and the rest of the crew will go above and beyond to make sure you fully comprehend the material being taught. Plus, they have a job placement program at no additional cost and they are always referring you to different events. Definitely wish I would have taken it sooner. It has truly been the best money I have ever invested for my future. I recommend anyone looking for a fun, profitable lifetime career to take the course. read more

I took this class because i am opening a new Italian restaurant in Sunset place called Il Vaporetto, the restaurant has a full bar. The short 2 week course was the most helpful thing I could have done. Not only did i learn all i needed to know for the restaurant but also deep knowledge of products. Mark is a great professor and I haven't met a single person in my life that could have taught the class better. He is a genius when it comes down to bar-tending and alcohol. If someone in Miami wants to learn anything about bar-tending they better be giving ABC Bartending and Mark a call because they wont get the same education anywhere else. read more

Best school ever. Not only do you learn but you have fun!! I have always been attracted to bar tending but thought it was too complicating, which was my first impression of the class as well, but the instructors Mark and Rick did a wonderful job breaking down the information in a fun way for us to understand it better. They never gave up on us, no matter how confused we may have looked at one point, they always cheered us on and showed us new tricks to memorize certain things. It is fun!! I was excited before I took the class and now I love the profession!! I recommend ABC Bartending especially if you are really passionate about this, and if you are not, trust me, you will be! :) read more

Taking this class with Mark and Rick has been an amazing learning experience. Being able to practice in a real simulation bar, I learned about 100 mixed drinks and probably prepared about 1,000 drinks. This has given me the confidence to apply for a bartending position and feel deserving of the job. read more

I originally took the class for fun thinking it would be a cool thing to do before the summer ended, but it is really an educational program in which it requires you to study and put in all of your effort, which I really appreciate. ABC is not at all about taking your money, I went in to get a look at the school before I signed my name to anything and I felt so comfortable. Mark is such an amazing teacher, he treats his students like friends and really believes in our potential as future bartenders. He wants us to be the best we can since we ultimately will be representing ABC in the future. We are able to go back and practice or retake the class for free if we don't pass the exam, proof they're not about the money. If they were, they were purposely make you fail and have you pay to retake the class. I absolutely loved my time there, their connections with jobs and events is definitely a plus as well. I can't say enough good things about this place! read more
