Excellent! If I could write like this I would be well chuffed. The more I see articles of such quality as this (which is rare), the more I think there might be a future for the Web. Keep it up, as it were.

Alright.. So, I will admit to being a product of a bartending school. Went through when I was 18. Got hired at a decent dive the next week (making around $150 a night for four hours of work). Yes, there is a lot that they leave out, but if you find the right bar to give you a chance you’re golden.

That being said, I moved my way up the ranks and within a couple of years I was working at the biggest nightclub in Dallas. I was pulling between 1000-2000 dollars a week working 12-16 hours. It was a dream. Since then I’ve worked at every major nightclub in the area and eventually went back to teach at the same school I went to. I tried to incorporate the things that I had learned over the six years that I’d been bartending that I didn’t learn there. I saw so many people go through that gave up looking for a job after a few weeks, but I saw some succeed immediately as well.

Now I’m working on opening my own school that will be completely different than anything else out there. No cookie cutter bs.

So, it can work for the right person and it honestly changed my life completely and gave me a for real career. I’m at the top of the food chain in the area and I wouldn’t be happier doing anything else.

Unfortunately, there are many bartending schools out there giving the good ones a bad name. Like anything else you must do your homework before putting down any of your hard earned money.
I am the owner of a bartending school in Westchester,NY. Our institute was founded with the objectives of dedication and commitment to our students. And to provide superior training at a price that all can afford.
Designed and built from the ground up by bartenders for bartending training. A bartending training facility with state-of-the-art equipment and a comfortable, spacious learning atmosphere (designed just like a real working bar environment). We honestly feel we have exceeded our goals! Our bartending classes provide the perfect environment for focused, hands-on learning which helps guarantee your success as a bartender in this profitable, fun and exciting world of bartending! The art of bartending is an occupation that is best learned by hands-on experience with the proper tools and equipment of the trade.
With a growing dissatisfaction for the level of respect given to bartending school graduates, and with the common vision that a bartender was far more than the graduate of a mixology course, we created our mixology course, featuring the very newest, most relevant and technically accurate training methods in the industry today.
We’re more than just teaching you how to mix a drink. Our bartending school is comprised of professional, veteran mixologists who are dedicated to teaching YOU the art and craft of creating the perfect cocktail.
Shop around. The days of on the job training are over. Many a bartender, who has NOT been properly trained can not make the same drink, the same way 2x’s in a row.

ok first off i am a product of the Texas School of Bartenders. It has gone through a lot of changes and has a new instructor. Big Mike a thing of the past he has rescently opened and closed his own school and is now sittin behind bars for stealing money from his investors. yes the TSOB is about speed but with there new instructor Kevin and his experience from around the world he has done. they have re-wrote the book and deal with a lot more of the drink makeing and proper pouring tech. and i agree that the job placement isn’t always there in this time of need in the econemy but hey face it jobs arn’t easy to come buy period. you may have to start in a small hole in the wall bar to get in to the 6th st scean. it did take me quite a while to find a job but the school stuck with me for almost 2 months and i found a job and got hired. mind you less that its not the most glamours job on the market but its a good place to get your feet wet and a foot in the door. there are a lot of people that will tell you that bartending schools are a joke well if you take the average person in a bar and ask them what are in five random, popular drinks they won’t be able to tell you. so for those of you doubters who have no bartending experience go out and try and get a job in the feild with no training and see how it works for you.
