I'm so glad I finally took this class! Jesse makes it so fun and easy to learn. He teaches hands on, is very attentive to students and doesn't let anyone get left behind. He works with you until you know what you're doing. The binder you get on the first day goes over so many recipes, more than what we can go over in class. Take notes during the videos ( I took this class during the pandemic so the first "week" was through video lessons) and the hands on lessons will come naturally! There are 4 bar set ups in the Woodbridge location which made it easy to pair up and rotate (bartender/customer) and everyone got a chance to practice a lot everyday. They make sure you're 100% comfortable and confident before moving onto the exam. THEY WANT YOU TO PASS! They do everything in your power to help you, the rest is up to you. If you are eager to learn, you will do well and be a certified bartender in 1 week!!!! read more

I had an amazing experience at Famous Bartending School! The hands-on training made learning fun and helped me build confidence behind the bar. I came in with very little knowledge, and by the end of the course I felt prepared to work in a real bartending environment. A huge shoutout to my instructor, Jessie. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to answer questions. His real-world experience and teaching style made everything easy to understand, and he genuinely wanted everyone in the class to succeed. The atmosphere was welcoming, professional, and engaging, and I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking to start a bartending career or simply learn a new skill. read more

This is my second time around taking attending bartending school. This was a different experience since 2004 and under new ownership and management. The online courses help to get accustomed to being around the bar. But every student has to get used to the different styles of teaching from the instructors. Some push you hard, so instruct at the students pace. But all of their jobs are to get you ready to be thrown in the fire. It's a good atmosphere and place to be to meet other highly motivated and special people.. Even at 43 I was able to keep up, learn, grow, and push myself.. Sign up if you're all about making money and serving people. read more

This was the best experience ever I pick the Woodbridge location because it's closer to home I came in very nervous I had some knowledge of bartending in the past but that was almost five years ago thank God for my teacher Sara she took her time with me helping me refresh my memory she was absolutely amazing funny and fun to train with she broke it down step by step and I love that they help you find work even after your done and you can always come back and refresh your training it was great and I'm glad I did it now it's time to make some money!!!!! If your interested in learning don't hesitate to call them read more

I had a great experience here at Famous Bartending School. When I started, I didn't know anything about mixing drinks or the craft that goes into it. Given I work a full time job, they made it super easy to get the training by having classes on the weekends. They teach you a wide variety of drinks as well as teach you all the terminology behind the bar. All this wouldn't be possible without the amazing instructor we had Gustavo. He makes sure you understand the drinks before you move on and makes sure everyone gets their repetitions in. Overall, fantastic experience! read more

Amazing school! I recommend anyone who is interested in bartending to sign up with this school! Sarah and Jesse were extremely helpful! I did the 1 week program. There's so much information in this course, however it is doable, as long as you put in the hours & effort to learn!! You're also provided with a binder full of recipes, information on glassware, wines, etc.. so you can def put in the extra time whenever you can! The acronyms that Sarah & Jesse provided was extremely helpful to remember the recipes & made it easier for me! read more

Considering the class is only two weeks, and I'm still forming my opinion -- I can't really say too much other than I am pleasantly surprised! Haha Our instructors were John and Cody. They certainly got the job done! Having never been a bartender of any kind, I learned a lot from them -- dos, donts, recipes, and more! Class was a fun laid back atmosphere, but I still learned a lot. I definitely feel more confident applying to bar tending jobs having taken this course! I recommend it. read more

This school was great for me since it was only a week long but it still gave me the abilities I believe I need to be an effective bartender. Not only that, but there is unlimited training and many ways to make back the money you put into getting your certification after you've received it. The classes were also all very informal, and definitely fun! I highly recommend this to anyone looking to get serious about bartending or looking for a fun job and easy way to make money! read more

This is my very first time learning to bartend & the experience is absolutely amazing. My instructor John is the best ! He is super nice & any questions/help I may have he is always there to help. The environment itself is great to learn in & the money I paid for the program was totally worth it ! They are super flexible with my schedule & if you need additional time or help they are always there for you. You guys rock ! Thanks so much for the opportunity . read more

This school was a positive experience for me, the instructors were both accommodating to each students academic needs while making the course fun and interesting. Each day I was eager to learn something new and helpful. I especially enjoyed the hands on experience that we were prepped for of the speed drill. I strongly recommend taking the Famous Bartending course to anyone that has an interest in entertaining, either socially or professionally. read more

This school is a great place to learn how to bartend! The instructors ( Cody and Sarah) teach you in such an amazing way how to make drinks and how to work behind a bar itself. The instructors have acronyms on how to make certain drinks which make learning all the drinks so much easier! I would highly recommend attending, it's definitely worthwhile and they provide you with job placement opportunities. read more

I had a great experience at Famous Bartending School. The classes were fast-paced, hands-on, and a lot of fun. I learned a lot in a short amount of time, and Gustavo, the night instructor, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, patient, and did a great job keeping everyone engaged while making sure we understood the material. I'd definitely recommend this school to anyone interested in learning bartending! read more

This was a really great starter course. There were videos online that helped to learn outside of class. I have a regular day job Mon- Fri so I did the weekend schedule. It was intense because it's 8 hour days and it moves fast, but it was informative and realistic because that's how most bars are! I learned all types of drinks I never even heard of and practiced how to make them. Thank you! read more

I had a great experience at this bartending school! The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and made learning fun.

I would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking to learn the skills and break into the industry! read more

The instructors teach you about real life situations you might encounter while bartending, and they were extremely helpful and knew how to work with every type of student. I had a blast taking this course and learning with other classmates. I also love how helpful they are in finding a job post graduation.

40 hour course to earn a NJ Bartending License. The course topics include industry standards and recipes for over 50 drinks. Each night ample time is spent practicing drink mixing skills. Kim & Jenn led as the instructors and did a wonderful job making sure each student understood the material and sharpened their skills during drill practice. read more

Great facility with great instructors! It's nice to be able to have the binder (provided by the school) for you to refer back to at any time AND YouTube videos on how to make the drinks! However, still requires a lot of individual studying outside of the class. Class time should be used to put what you learned from the videos to the test. read more

Great school, I got to learn a lot in just a week that at first felt impossible, but with the teacher's help everything ended up working out. The stage is pretty real as well, which is a plus. I would just recommend checking the bottles to see that they're labeled correctly and have enough coloring for the drinks before class begins. read more

I really enjoyed my experience at Famous Bartending School. Gustavo was an excellent instructor who kept the classes engaging and made learning easy. He took the time to answer questions and made sure everyone felt prepared. I definitely recommend this school if you're looking to learn bartending skills in a supportive environment! read more
