“Just graduated from the Elite Bartending School tonight on 9/23/22. I did the two week night program and it was tons of fun. The staff are super friendly and approachable and will help you out if you’re having trouble with something! I definitely recommend coming here if you want to learn how to bartend!”

“Great people who want to see you succeed! I’ve been bartending for a while now but I wanted to get better at the basics and was very impressed with how much I managed to learn in such a short time! We went over everything from proper measurements, glassware, and garnishes to flavors and popular brands. So much information was introduced but it was presented in a way that made it entertaining and easy to learn. The teaching style creates an environment for you to get to know your class and make connections as well as practice making 50+ drinks a day. 10/10 would recommend!”

“I recently took the week-long bartending course and I loved it! The owner, Lawrie Madden, is simply fantastic and a joy to learn from–she will teach you everything that you need to know to become a bartender, and will make you smile the whole time! That being said, don’t come expecting it to be a cake walk. There is a LOT of material that is covered, and if you are taking the compressed week-long course, be prepared to work and study a ton at home. Nevertheless, I’m very glad that I took this course and I would 100% recommend it to anyone who wants to be a bartender!”
