This is the kind of course I’m kicking myself I didn’t take years ago when I was a young man. Whether you’re thinking about working as a bartender, or just interested in how the drinks are made, I highly recommend this course. If you’re at least 21 years old, and drink more than a couple of drinks a year, and have the time/money, you should probably take this course. All you need is a couple of weekends to attend class. The first weekend is listening, taking notes, and asking questions. The second weekend is listening again, reviewing what you’ve done, and practicing making the drinks yourself. This is one of the most interesting, and fun courses I ever took my whole life. Erik is an incredibly interesting, professional, helpful, and practiced instructor/professor of mixology. His years of experience and knowledge of bartending is encyclopedic. He creates a very engaging, informal, but professional atmosphere and conveys the main information quickly, clearly, and with a great deal of wit and humor, which is greatly appreciated. Much of his class/lecture felt like a stand-up comedy routine. Depending on how much you know about various alcohol drinks, and how familiar you already are with various alcohols, and how quick a learner you are, you’ll probably have to spend 50 to 100 hours outside of class reading the 93 page, single-spaced book, taking notes, making flash cards to memorize the approximately 150 drinks you’ll have to memorize, and practicing pouring various drinks to build proficiency. There’s many other things to learn as well, and this course really is just a boot camp for bartenders, but it’s a great start, and I’m so glad I took it. A weekend is not enough time to convey everything in the book, but the lectures hit the highlights and fill-in the missing info. Also, Erik is available for any questions you might have either in class or after. I give Erik and ABC Bartending School my very highest recommendation.

I have Eric as my weekend bartending teacher, and he is one of the coolest teachers you could ever have! It’s never boring in his class, and you always learn something new every time even with the same lesson! In the class, you will learn EVERYTHING you need to know to be a competent & chilling bartender! It does take TIMES to remember all these drinks and practice pouring, but you won't regret it! ε-(´∀｀; ) 🥃🍸🍹🧉🍾🥂🍺🍷✨ #Cocktail #Bartender #Mixology #Highball, Juice Drink, Cream Drink, Martini, Manhattan, Hot Coffee Drink, Two-Liquor Drink, Exotic Drink, Sour Drink, Shooters and Shots, Beer

Realmente disfruto de esta escuela. ¡Los profesores son geniales y realmente se preocupan por tu éxito! Tienen horarios súper flexibles, lo cual es genial si estás trabajando o yendo a la escuela. Cumplen su palabra al ponerte a trabajar en eventos pagados una vez que terminas, donde todo está provisto para ti. Los precios son súper asequibles. Están dispuestos a trabajar contigo. Y tienes acceso ilimitado a la escuela una vez que terminas para repasar cualquier cosa que hayas estudiado en el pasado o nuevas recetas sobre las que puedas tener preguntas después de tu colocación laboral.
