I purchased a Groupon for the one-day 8 hour bartending certification course for 2 people. On the…read moreGroupon and their website it says they have days available through the weekday and Saturdays. This was the only reason I purchased them for weekday availability as it is very difficult for me to take off work on a Saturday. When I called to schedule, I was told that the course is not 8 hours and more like 4-5 hours & that they only have them available on Saturdays. I was very disappointed to hear that I was mislead by the Groupon and their website. I went to their Instagram page & they had a post that showed the dates available to schedule for the certification class. Along with the dates was an excerpt saying that you can message them to request a weekday for an extra cost. I messaged them through that specific post explaining my situation and they deleted the post and never responded to me. I also left a message on their website as well & they never got back to me. I am very disappointed as I was super interested in attending and would've certainly posted about it and recommended other people to attend & attend other events, or gifted to others. Edit: I knew the owner would respond and that is why I included that it is written on YOUR website and YOUR instagram page that you have weekdays available. It's not just misinformation through Groupon, it's you too!

The bartender I hired was extremely helpful from setup all the way to cleanup. So many of my friends complimented me on the bartender's drinks, they were absolutely delicious! Although there were a lot of moving parts and guests at my party, the bartender was able to make drinks really quickly and really helped with the atmosphere. She was super knowledgeable about the drinks, arrived early, and wore professional attire. She had all the materials necessary for making drinks, and she was super professional from start to finish. Can't recommend CBA enough for their incredible service and professionalism!Will definitely hire again from them for future events, and it's amazing how all the bartenders are college students too.

Examples include how to do things right in order to prevent fines from the health department and mitigate the chance of making customers sick, appropriate garnishes, glassware, dishwashing, tips on how to optimize bartending efficiency, how to deal with trouble makers and the form of documentation required to protect the business. Bryan is a wonderful teacher and a really fun guy to be around. I would highly recommend this class / social club to anyone interested in any form of bartending. Whether you are a business owner looking to open a bar, someone who is trying to get into bartending as a career or hobby, or an experienced bartender looking to refine your cocktail craft, you would definitely benefit from this class.

So you can make it extra strong :) I think my favorite drink to make was the Negroni, as the instructor taught us several ways to make it. Overall a great experience! Left very happy and tipsy.

I finally decided…read moreto go for it to meet new people, to have a second income and mostly to add something new and exciting to my life. I just finished the 2 week bartending certification including ATAP at 1800 Bartend in Farmingdale last week. It's right next to Adventureland. The course packs a lot of information in during a short period of time. We easily learned over 100 drinks. The school is set up like a bar. Jerry the instructor is hilarious and highly entertaining. I call him the YODA of bartending. He probably could have been a comedian in another life. The class was very enjoyable, stress free and the small group size was ideal for maximum hands on practice making all the drinks. From rocks drinks, to sours, shots, martinis, and mixed drinks, we learned it all. I even made a few new friends in the class that I will be keeping in touch with. There was a guest bartending night at a bar in Coram to serve drinks if you brought friends and a test at the end of the 2 weeks to make sure you have the main drinks down. Since the class ended I have been in touch with Richard who helps the graduates with job placement. He has already given me a few leads. For the money, I learned alot and thoroughly enjoyed 1800 Bartend. I'm looking forward to starting my side hustle bartending and will keep you posted on my journey. Goals: Wind up bartending on the water in The Hamptons! Thanks again 1800 Bartend. Cheers! Dr. Max @thedrmaxshow

You're not going to learn everything in one course but having this certification has opened the door for me and I am so grateful. If your hesitant, I promise it's worth it.

This is an honest review of my experience with this bartending school. There is no magical school…read morethat will allow you to go from a pure beginner to ready-to-bartend in two weeks. What this class does well, is get you ahead with the basics. You'll learn bar equipment, the order in which to do things, and the general flow of bartending. All of that is great. Unfortunately, the school does not have you make any actual alcoholic drinks. You only use water the whole time. This is not clear when you pay for the class. To be a bartender, it is required to make actual drinks to taste them. I was disappointed about this. Also, they claim to have job placement for the class graduates. Their "job placement" is just a list of restaurants/bars that say they're hiring. It has suggested hours to go in- but they aren't updated. After I graduated I went to 5 bars on the list during the mentioned time, and all of them were either closed or not hiring. Also, the class is quite expensive and in my opinion that cost should include the merchandise they offer such as a drink notepad, bartending kit, etc. I am now an experienced bartender. Worked at 4 craft bars. While the teachers are really nice, the drink methods are completely outdated. The way I was taught in this class to make several drinks was deemed wrong by multiple places. This class is fun. The people are nice to work with, and the bonding is nice too. It will give you a leg up in the bartending world. Do not expect a magical answer however. 3/5
