I just called this place, someone not representing this company answered the phone and was real ignorant to say the least and hung up on me. If I could give this place no stars I would. very unprofessional and definitely not giving money to sounds like a scam. I mean who answers the phone at a place of buiness then when you ask to speak to someone about the enrollment they hang up on you. People be aware.

Best and Amazing choice for your bartending school needs. Recommend by a friend and I must say Angela definitely prepared me to become everything I expected to become and more!You will learn so many must have skills in such little time to get you quickly on the job and making great money. Additionally, after completing course you can go back to the school (lifetime training) to keep skills fresh and up-to-date as I have done several times.Dont further delay, contact Angela today.

Check out Elitte Bartending for your training. This is a fast paced, hands on course. I received a book with lots of good information and learned a lot.

I graduated 3 months ago and wanted to share my experience with Elitte Bartending School. Where do I start..... I was skeptical about Bartending schools and how much or not someone can learn in two weeks. I was pleasantly surprised!! After the first day you start feeling like your a bartender. The course was informative and impressive. I am super confident in my Bartending skills and speed. I was hired immediately after graduating even in a pandemic, my manager has been in contact with the instructor and will be sending some of the waitresses there to train. Thank you Elitte!

Great school. Elitte has the best price in Chicago and the training is top notch. They say their the #1 school in Illinois and I see why. One of the best experiences I’ve had. Do your research on Bartending schools I’m sure it will lead you to Elitte. They were very flexible in there schedule and I started a week after I registered. We made a ton a of cocktails, and tasted many too... which was a plus. If you study hard you will definitely be a great bartender. The instructor is so informative, she shares all the ins and outs. Give them a call!!

Elitte Bartending School was everything I needed it to be. I was challenged and pushed to be the best bartender I could be and left knowing I was fully prepared for any bartending experience. Our instructor was highly knowledgeable in the field, innovative, passionate, and extremely dedicated to her students. If youre looking for a place to get you the tools you need to either get you started in the field or just want to be a better bartender this is the place for you!

Angela is absolutely amazing at what she does, she explains everything you need to know about bartending in full detail and she is genuinely passionate about what she does!! You receive a book that is filled with valuable information such as recipes for various mixed drinks and shots. As well as information about finding a job and landing an interview. The class is very hands on and you are able to practice making drinks on site everyday, so cool! I had so much fun in the 8 days it takes to complete the class. Do not hesitate to sign up if you are wanting to gain experience in bartending or just need a refresher!!!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience learning how to bartend. Coming in with no bartending experience, I can confidently say that I can prepare any kind of drink correctly and efficiently. Angela is not only very knowledgeable but is also so nice and helpful. She makes you sure you get everything down before you leave her class. Walk in with an open mind and a willingness to learn and you’ll be set. A HUGE plus coming to Elitte is that you will not only be a fantastic bartender but you will also have lifetime refresher courses and she will help you with job placements. Don’t think twice, GO TO ELITTE BARTENDING SCHOOL!!! So so so worth it!!

Are you looking for the number 1 best bartending school in Chicago??? Well look no further!!!! I am a newly graduate from Elitte 4/9/2021. The day of graduation Angela had provided us with list of jobs that were hiring and so I was interested and told Angela.Immediately she got in contact with her sources and set up an interview for me the next day with the Manager I was kinda nervous being it is my first interview for a bartending position but I took what I learned from Angela and remember why I went to Bartending school 😊.I just received the phone call I got hired it’s a brand new sports bar and grill opening up and I start Monday.. 😊When I signed up for the class I had to miss lots of days out of a 2 week course due personal issues but thankfully Angela let me start with a brand new class that worked with my schedule and I was thankful that she was able to squeeze me in and when I did come back I learned so much from Angela during these 2 weeks she is definitely the best she definitely changed my life!!!!! Thank you Elitte Bartending school I am on my way to start my new Career 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Incredible! Ive learned more about bartending, mixology, and the craft in 8 days than i wouldve thought possible in months! Angela the instructor is a boss! Shes incredibly hardworking, and gets you where you need to go in order to be a successful bartender in a very small window of time. I graduated this past week with the knowledge, accumen, and discipline required to do my best in this new field. I was always passionate about liquor and now i get to turn that passion into a field of work!

Just recently graduated 2020, as it was on my bucket list, I was scared but Angela continued to encouraged me. While she was not feeling good that day, she still let me take my written and drink test, I did better than I thought due to her persistence. This is a great experience quick, fast and educational if those that want to become a bartender. What else can you expect after you graduate, she can also place you. Highly recommend Elitte Bartending School

Best Bartending experience ever! If you are looking in becoming a fast paced bartender. Elitte Bar School is where you need to go. I know how to make 6-8 drinks at one time, I know how to make old and new drinks and I am a confident bartender in just the two weeks. This School is also a Staffing agency that’s been around over 20 years. Angela the Teacher hires her graduates as well. I was given an internship through their staffing agency while in class .I recommend this school to anyone looking to be a quick and an efficient bartender. Thank you, Elitte

Former student of Elitte. I wanted to post a review to let those interested in becoming a licensed experienced bartender to look no further. Graduates years ago and worked immediately after graduating. I moved and had kids so had to stop Bartending. I am now getting back to it. After all these years I was able to take advantage of my lifetimeRefresher course, Elitte job leads. I am happy to say that I am an Elitte Bartender and Angela the instructor continues to care and keep relationships with her graduates. Contact Elitte they are the best. Money well spent. Beatrice-

I wanted to get into Bartending for years now, I just didn’t know where to start or if I had the time.

The best school in town. I learned so much in two weeks. After calling several schools Elitte was my #1. The knowledge the instructor shares with you is invaluable. If your looking to be an amazing bartender, lean how to make 10 drinks at once we’ll this is your place. They also are a Wait staffing agency that’s been around 25 years in Illinois. They assist grads with work through their job placement program but the incentive is that they also hire their grads. What a bonus!! This is place.

Review №59

At Elitte Bartending School, the teacher is super helpful. I called other schools and they seemed a bit rude when I asked questions and they had open positions too far ahead throughout the year. When I called Elitte, there were two positions open the same day that I called for my friend and I. If there are any questions regarding drinks or even job placements, the teacher does their absolute best in explaining thoroughly. There is great 1 on 1 experience and some classes contain 6 students. Some students move on faster than others, but don’t feel discouraged because the teacher will see that and will work with you until you get the material down. Books, Bassett, Diploma, many opportunities for Job Placements, and even refresher courses are given. If you don’t have the entire payment, ask if you can do a down payment. The teacher is super friendly, devoted to teaching (even on her days off, she’d come in to help students who need it), and is very informative about drinks or even restaurants in the neighborhood. Overall, I love my experience! 11/10 would attend this school again. There is a lot to learn, but this school makes it so much fun!

I’m a former grad from another school and went to Elitte Bar School, instead of returning to he School I paid for. The differences are night and day. All I learned from the other school is how to make a lemon drop shot. If you are looking to get training, learn how to make 10 drinks at one time, (Yes!) and learn everything Bartending from A-Z. Elitte is the school you want to go to. I was sent to interview through one of Elitte leads while still in class and landed it. I am so happy to be an Elitte bartender. Thank you.

I will start out with the best reason on why to choose Elite. They allow you to come back to review/sharpen your skills atany point, free of charge. And they are constantly posting new gigs/jobs that you can apply for or fill. They dont just takecare of their students, but their alumni as well.Elite Bar Tending School was one of the most enriching experiences Ive had post college. The instructor (Angela)spreads her wisdom not just on drink making, but hospitality as a whole. Her extensive experience in theindustry shows when she enlightens you on all the tricks to being a good bartender and offering great customer service.Everyday is a another drink type, with a sit down watching portion, followed by actual practising. She will train you tobe a bartender at upscale places, so you are always prepared. And she does an exceptional job of pushing and motivating you toget the best bartender out of you. Always choose Elite.

What a liked about Elitte Bartending School is Angela and Dave kept it real from start to finish. They told you exactly what you needed to become a successful bartender, and exactly what you should not do. I took the night classes and they were very flexible working with my schedule. I attended the class in their new larger facility (across the street from their old school). While I was in class there were a few things that werent in order, like the water not operating on some of the stations, and the ice machine not making enough ice, but I understood that they had just moved into the space and were working very hard to get everything fully functional. I really liked how they try to create a real life feel in the school. They turn off the lights, put the bar lights on and put the music up loud just how it would be in a bar or club. Now when Im out at the club I find myself sizing the bartenders up to see if they really now their stuff, and youd be surprised many of the bartenders out there dont even know the basics!! Angela does her staffing through facebook which I like. Since Ive graduated I have been able to intern and made great tips on my first night. Hands down Elitte is a great school!!! Shout out to Angela and Dave!!!!

Lots of good things to say about the program! The class is fast paced and very hands on. There was a lot of information learned in such a short time. Angela really knows her stuff. She works with you until you feel comfortable and you are not rushed to finish the class. I really did like the fact that she provided leads for jobs while taking her class. Overall I would recommend for anyone to take this class!!!

Whether you are an experienced veteran or a total new beginner in the industry, I would highly recommend taking two weeks out of your life to come to Elitte! Angela and David are filled with knowledge. Even if you feel like you have been in the industry for so long that you know everything you should always remember that things are constantly changing and you should never stop learning. You can always know more! Angela made learning very fun and enjoyable while still demonstrating how serious she takes her role and how much she cares about her students. Very happy with the decision I made to come here look forward to bringing my new found knowledge into work with me. Thank you Angela!!

I was taking bartending school here past 2 weeks and successfully pass the class and received license on time. Angela is very professional and great at teaching her class. In the same time it was very fun class learning about drinks and had many opportunities to make drinks too! I will definitely recommend here over other bartending school for sure!!

Great place, awesome teacher! You really get what you pay for, and they even offer life time refreshers if you ever go a while and forget some things you can alway go back for free! Apart from this they really do put in the effort to help you find a job, just overall satisfied with the whole experience. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking into getting basset certified.

I had the best experience at Elitte and can’t recommend it enough! Angela is our guru and is amazing. The way she teaches prepares you for any setting because you learn how to do things efficiently but most importantly, accurately. Some people say you can skip bartending school and just learn on the job, but I would absolutely not recommend that. You’ll be amazed with what you will learn in two weeks and how helpful having that prior knowledge will be coming into a job. I got hired after the first week at the exact restaurant I wanted and was also called after that for a few different interviews. Angela help prepare my resume and interview talking points. I’m a full time teacher that was looking for a lucrative side hustle and I’ve found it! Elitte is such a place of support and I encourage anyone who’s thinking about bartending school to give Angela a call, you won’t regret it!

This was great! I had NO experience as a bartender prior to this. I learned so much about serving drinks. The course is worth every penny. Come in, be ready to learn and you’ll finish the course knowing what you need to be a good bartender. They help you find a job, prepare you for interviews, and tell you things you need to know before you start working as a bartender. This course is for ANYONE. I have to say this again... I had no experience as a bartender, and I left being able to make multiple cocktails at once. The instructor knows SO MUCH about bartending, it’s awesome. She’s an outstanding coach and will help you gain the confidence you need behind the bar. With her help, you’ll leave confident to land a job anywhere. Try it!

I attended the school and had a grand experience. Awesome instructor who took the time to make sure we all learned and grasped the importance of everything we were being taught. On top of it all the class was extremely fun. I would look forward to going to class everyday. And I miss that part of my day since I have graduated. If youre looking into being in this market this is the school to attend.
