"My friend’s have always told me that I would be a good server or bartender. I tried to get hired at a bar to learn or become a bar-back but I didn’t have my certification, and they must have went with someone else. A couple friends at the gym told me about finding a bartending school and when I did my research, National Bartenders had a very positive vibe. The first couple classes were hard to get to because I stepped out of my daily routine, but every time I went in, I got to practice and learn new techniques for bartending. I’m still finishing my required hours but I feel lightyears ahead of where I was before and my mixing confidence has only been increasing. It feels nice to learn the in’s and out’s of the bartending world, and further confirming that it’s something I belong doing. I’m impressed, thank you to Mitch and the National Bartenders School in Venice."

"Great teachers and very rigorous curriculum. The staff here will have you on your feet and bartending in no time. Also great if you're experienced and just need to brush up on your skills. :)"
