Don’t really know where to start. If you are looking to start your career as a bartender, look no further. I went in with no prior experience and now possess the confidence and the knowledge to not only be a bartender but be a great bartender. You often hear from people how bartending school is a waste of money, while that may be true elsewhere, it certainly is not the case with this school. Landed a gig upon graduation and I am pleased with the amount of drinks that I have in my repertoire.

I recently joined National Bartenders School having no prior knowledge of bartending or alcohol. Their curriculum is detailed and easy to understand. My instructor Marcus keeps us challenged daily with pour techniques and drills. Im gaining product knowledge and skills crucial for modern bartending. I recommend this program to anyone interested in a new career.

Just finished my Bartending program with National Bartenders School in Las Vegas. The owner, Donna, along with the instructors, Marcus and Tommy, are amazing people, full of knowledge and experience in the field. The hands on bar environment is essential for application and confidence building. Highly recommend.

This school is definitely the best! Did alot of research and glad I chose National. Very knowledgeable and had fun learning. The staff is awesome and the other students I met are now my friends. The day I started the first thing they said to me was Welcome to National Bartenders School family! That really made me relax. Love the lifetime membership too. I am ready for Vegas.

For anyone looking for a great bartending school, look no further than National Bartending school! The education you receive here will take you a long way to becoming a credible mixologist! This school is 3 weeks long and in that time a person will learn close to 200+ drinks. The owner, lead instructor, and assistant instructors are amazing! They care that students that leave this school are the best! To pass, you need to maintain an A average; this is because of the high standards set by the school in order to ensure that their students are top notch! But as long as you take good notes and put in practice time, its very achievable; even if you werent an A student in school! After you graduate from NBS, you can even come back and continue to practice and hone your craft! There is even job placement leads given to all those who graduate and desire it! For a sound bartender education, award winning National Bartending School is the best place hands down!

By far the best decision I’ve made was choosing National Bartenders School! They gave me the knowledge and confidence I needed to become an awesome bartender, the owner Donna is so committed to helping her students become the best of the best, and their job placement gave me several opportunities to choose from. I love that they offer free refresher course if needed! All in all a wonderful school, I highly recommend them! Thank you again Donna!!!

HIGHY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Especially if you like structure!!!! I am a recent graduate and love everything about this school!! My overall experience has been so fun and pleasant. Donna, Coach, Buzz and Marcus are amazing!! They are all so knowledgeable and want you to do well. Everything is hands on!! What is so cool is that even though the course is 3 weeks they don’t rush you, even with test. The focus is put on making sure you are absorbing all the information. Coach made it easy for an over thinker like me by the way he teaches and study tips. Even my classmates made it fun! We would all study together and stay longer doing drills. Working together really helps!! Also, so thankful to know that it’s a lifetime membership. If you ever needed a refresher its available along with endless practice time. I’ll be taking full advantage and will make you guys proud!! Thank you so much for everything!!!

Professional training and beyond helpful when you graduate to look for jobs. I love the hands on training behind the bar. They have open bars to practice and you have a lifetime membership so you can come back anytime to freshen up on your skills. Tommy aka Coach was an amazing educator that gives you tough love to make you become the best bartender that you can be. Hes funny and educational and you will learn so much from him. I went from knowing nothing about drinks to perfecting 200 drinks because of him and I am so grateful. Donna is very welcoming, nice, and helpful when you have any questions upon signing up and after graduating when you need a job. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone that is interested in becoming a bartender. Loved it and love them!

This review is long overdue, but NBS is a great school if you want to become a bartender. Donna and Coach (Tommy) are very knowledgeable, and very approachable...they are open to answering any and all of your questions. Coach can be intimidating at first, but after the first few days, you will learn to understand and appreciate his personality. My biggest takeaway from the whole course is that I remember Coach saying that, in terms of bartending practice and knowledge, hell challenge ANY bartender in Las Vegas to go up against any one of his students. I 100% believe that to be true. Thanks again, Coach and Donna!

Best school hands down! This school teaches you to make over 200 drinks in a way that you can remember. You can stay as long as you need to to graduate. I was able to find a job through their job assistance program too!

Such a great and fun school! What’s not to love about making drinks for a living? Coach is very knowledgable and really teaches you the way you should be taught for long term memory. From funny stories to acronyms, it’s a blast! Plus, they help you with job leads and you are free to come back to practice and to even sit in on classes again for a refresher! Thank you NBS!!!!

Amazing school staff and teachers! They taught just under 200 drink recipes in 3 weeks and offered (literally endless) additional practice time as needed. They also assist in job placement! With their help I got a great bartending position downtown in just about 3 weeks after graduating. Very supportive school 10/10 recommend. Love you Donna & Coach!

Review №21

I researched several local bartending schools and am extremely glad I chose National Bartenders School. It can intimidating when Coach Tommy tells you up front you will know how to make 200 drinks by the end of the course, but his teaching methodology gets you to that goal. He and Donna have a vast knowledge of the skills you need to be competitive in the job market and access to numerous employers looking for bartenders. I truly believe the training I received gives me an advantage over graduates from other bartending schools. There is a big difference between tending bar and being a bartender...NBS graduates bartenders.

Great training experience. Checked other schools only 30-35 hours? Wanted to learn as much as possible and glad I chose National. 60 hours double the training and I dont leave until I am ready. No extra charges for extra time which to me was great cause I want to be the best, they really care about you . Classes are so much fun and I feel I can work anywhere. Highly recommend, very informative and I can go back to refresh anytime I want and it is free!

Fantastic! I really enjoyed learning how to mix drinks with their bar. The teacher teaches in such a way that the student understands AND remembers. As a teacher, I know his teaching methods work and the drink recipes are put into long-term memory. The team is very supportive if you put in the effort. Tip: Use the open bar time- it is crucial to success.

The happy hour to learn gives you enough time to learn to make the drinks.The great thing is you graduate and you can stay and practice and can come back evan after you get a job to keep up on your skills.

I never though I would enjoyed this much from National Bartender School that I enrolled recently, and truly glad I choose this school, because the wonderful director Donna explained everything clearly in details, such as unlimited study time if you needed without extra charge and so on.... plus the sharp brilliant instructor Tom who is soo professional and funny.... I can’t thanks them enough to offer such learning place with Caring!!! I certainly have fun while I’m learning the same time, most of all I meet a lot wonderful people there and I have to say I also benefited tremendously at home as well with the new skills that I just learned....

If your looking at these reviews because your trying to find the right school..... congratulations you found it!!!Just like you, I did my research and when I walked into National Bartending I knew I found the right place. The way it’s set up is comfortable and easy. The atmosphere is alive with positive vibes and you’ll find yourself wanting to stay all day. The music is awesome!! The Owner Donna is the sweetest and will guide you through the enrollment as well as help place you once you graduate. And Coach will teach you how to be the best darn bartender you can be and you’ll belly laugh at least once a day. And I can’t forget little Mia who is the cutest puppy ever!!Your not just another body to shove through the door, there’s pride here and you feel it...at National Bartending School YOUR FAMILY.❤️

I got certified here years ago. The absolute best hands on learning experience I have ever had. I decided to not pursue bartending afterwards, (the biggest mistake of my life.) But the great thing is you have a lifetime membership. I came back retook some of the classes and now I am reading to start my career. Tommy is an awesome instructor. The best in Vegas. He cares about everyone of his students & he makes sure that everyone is thoroughly equipped for any venue you may apply for. Unlike other “bartending schools,” that also couple as dealer schools; National bartenders School is 100% all about bartending. If you are looking to become a bartender, this is the place for you.

During my time at the National Bartending School in Las Vegas I had an overall amazing experience. It is a great place to learn and gain all the skills needed to become a brilliant bartender. They cover everything you need to from mixology, gaming and jackpot payouts to product knowledge. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the school and visit often, the beauty of the course is I get to go back and practice whenever I want which massively helps out. Not only that but they help you find a job after you graduate which is fantastic. Attending the school is without a doubt one of the best decisions Ive ever made. Thank you NBS.

I have to thank Coach and Donna, at National Bartending School for there commitment and drive to get me ready for what Im doing now. I graduated 2 and a half years ago. And immediately I was hired on with no experience at the Wynn/Encore Casino. I spent many days practicing well after graduation and your commitment will show in the end as it did for me. #neverquit

Review №47

I was really disappointed with the teacher Tom and the school. He was really unprofessional, disrespectful, and always yelled, never took time to answer any question, kicked out the students early and never taught the class. Tom came off as he did not care about his students. I pay in $600.00 and regret it. I wasted my money and time to go to this awful school without graduation or learning anything. They just cared about only the money and nothing else. I you want to learn or get a job please, do not go to this school.

So glad I chose National Bartenders to get my bartender training. Checked out other schools was not impressed. National is way more professional training. They train you to work in every atmosphere in vegas so you can work anywhere. I like no extra charge if you need more time so can go beyond the 60hours and they dont charge you! Plus its lifetime membership so you can come back anytime you want at no charge. They trained me to be the best and they are the best bartending school in vegas in my book. Go to National you wont be disappointed!

I Graduated from National Bartender School today!! 7/3/18, a day I’ll never forget. I made 12 drinks in 4:20 mins, How? Because of all the training and support I received at NBS. I was ready and prepared, thanks to Coach! He teaches u in a way, that you’ll never forget! He’s not just a instructor, he’s a Teacher! NBS will NOT send you out in that cold world of Bartending, unless you are Certified!! Once you pass, you are always welcome back to brush up on ur skills, it’s like having a second family. Also Donna, is the sweetest person you will ever meet, very warm and supportive. NBS is by far, the best Bartending School in the state of Nevada.i
