I wanted to take the course because my friend kept running her mouth of drinks, cocktails, liqueurs and spirits like an expert. I was impressed, what was more impressing is the money that can be made in Bartending. So I called and Kim made it very easy to get into the earliest class they could offer. We had 3 instructors in the morning class Ryan, Janice and Kim. All three instructors are amazing with different types of teaching styles and personalities, which is a big plus because these are the personalities you are going to see and need to prosper in the spirit serving industry. Janice is great at teaching at a fast paced "drill sergent" style. She is fun, out-going and have a New-York Attitude to her. She is very good at teaching speed and what the right kind of attitude and personality is required behind the bar. Kim is a sweetheart. She is very nice and patient and will answer every question you have. She is very good at teaching the business side of things like tips, calculations, preparing multiple drinks at once, and bar terms. Ryan acts more like a guru of bartending. He came from a long line of bartenders in his family so his stories and side tracks are very valuable lessons to take home with you. His teaching style is more laid back then the rest of the instructors but still learned plenty from mixing drinks and cocktails. I highly recommend ABC Bartending to anyone who wants to learn to be a good host in a party, to get a second job or a primary one for that matter, and to have a really good time, I know I did. read more

It was an incredible experience all throughout, I was part of the evening class and with Jay being the instructor, by the way an awesome one, I learned a lot from him. He made the class fun and exciting, learned a lot about the bar industry, it was definitely worth it. For anyone else looking for a bartending school, you should go to these guys. They know their stuff and will really help you. read more

I love how awesome Janice is! (She didn't pay me to say that.. lol) always have a great time learning from her, she is patient, may be intimidating at first, but she is really good/nice and knows how to drill these popular drinks we learn in class by her hilarious methods. If you want to learn bartending, this is 100% the place to be at. #1 - you get your certificate in a timely manner, basically two weeks (mon-thurs) or two weekends in a row, #2 - you learn how to sharpen your mind through memorization, #3 - it is so good to have on your resume as far as new experiences/certifications, even if you don't decide to be a full-time bartender. Ask if they have specials going on and your money never expires. You can come in and review your material at any time before and after you have your certificate! I love this place, give it a shot!!! read more

I had the pleasure of having Raven as an instructor. She was awesome! She taught us so much about not only making drinks, but the ins and outs of a bar.

That's when I met the one and only Janice!!!!!! Lol Janice is one of the instructors other than Kim. Janice is really cool down to earth and very helpful. The classes are fast and up tempo. Really hands on and you're making drinks like 95% of the time. I would definitely recommend taking this class. Not to mention the price is very reasonable too. read more

Was fun and I enjoyed learning something new. Nice and easy going staff. Janice was awesome and I definitely would recommend this place for learning to bartend. read more

I purchased a class for my friend since she has always wanted to get her bartender certificate. She had to be absent two days due to illness and when she contacted the person giving the training she was reassured her that she would be able to finish it with another group. My friend has been calling and trying to find the person that told her that she would be able to make up the days, without sucess. Her multiple messages via voice mail, texts and in person have been ignored. At this point I feel that my gift had no value and my friend's time and interest disregarded. Kim is the person that told my friend that it would be ok. Her inability to stand by her word and deliver what she promised do not speak highly of the school's respect of others. read more

The funniest most beneficial 2 weeks EVER. Janice was a great informative instructor who made the class so exciting. You'll be amazed how much you will learn in only 2 weeks. read more

Awesome time in class! I had JT as a teacher, very fun, laid back, she has a lot of experience, She will make sure you know everything about being a bartender. This class is no joke, be ready to give it your all. I rate this school a 5 star, because it was not a waste of my time, if you do not have experience at all, this class will get you the experience you need. Nice, friendly staff, they help with job placement, they tell you exactly how to get a job. read more

I was always interested in taking a class in bartending. Decided to give it a go so spoke to a few schools and was impressed with how organized ABC. Combination of Kim's business acumen, being flexible to my schedule, and the very knowledgeable instructor J.T. has made my training a real pleasure. Anyone looking to take class I would give this school a go. read more

I made a last minute decision to sign up for bar tending school and I do not regret it whatsoever. This has been a very good experience and I am confident with everything that I have learned. Kim made the learning environment very comfortable and fun and I have already started recommending this establishment to many people! Thank you ABC Bar Tending for doing a great job! read more

I wenr to this school to see what it was about and to see if i was able to become a bartender without any experience. I have never had any more fun in a classroom in my life. In abc bartending school, you get the full experience being at a bar ! Not only do you learn the most popular cocktails but you get to make them during this course as well. It isnt real alcohol but the bottles they have are filled with water and food coloring. I had instuctors Ryan and Kim, they are extremely informative with important details and have amazing stories to share to the class. If anyone is looking to become a bartender this class is something you definitely would have to try out. Youll learn to make mixed drinks with speed, build your awareness as a bartender and become very knowlegdable of all kinds of liquors, liqueurs, beers and wines. read more

I signed up for a class, not really sure what to expect. After talking to fellow coworkers and other people in the industry, I was told it is the biggest waste of time and money to do this class. The first day really proved to me that everyone else's opinions were completely wrong. The class and the people were amazing. We all got along great and I've never had so much fun in a school, haha. I'm glad to say that I had the best instructor, JT. She's extremely outgoing and makes the class fun. Kim also taught on one of the days and I was amazed at how similar both of their teaching styles were. It was very easy to understand and they made it so easy to memorize all the drinks. I definitely recommend this school and both teachers. I went in not knowing anything about mixology and came out at the end so confident about what I've learned. They also have job leads posted every week, which is very helpful. I can't wait to get behind a bar and show everybody what I've learned!! read more

I completed the course this month and had a blast, I learned a lot. My friends have been impressed with my knowledge on beverages and great places to go for the best drinks. I finished with confidence. Job preparation and placement assistance are available as well. read more
