“I took classes in June and by August I was working at the first bar I applied to!! Thanks so much for all of your help! Amazing school with wonderful classes. The instructors care about your education and will drill you on anything you don’t understand until you are making the drinks in your sleep!”
Chris Salazar
“Great experience! Loved my instructor Chris. He gave us a lot of insight and stories that would help when you get out in the real world. I def recommend this place if you are debating whether or not to come here. All the staff is very friendly, always a smile on their faces, and just a fun environment to come to.”
Grace Ann Rupprecht

Not even a week after graduating, I was hired where I wanted to work. because of great instructors, I am officially out of the retail rut! Thank you!”
