Being a barista for nearly three years, I knew I had a basic understanding of fast-paced and quality beverage service. I moved to the LA area with pursuit of finding a job as a bartender, but had little knowledge of finding my way there. Fortunately, #1 Bartending School & Academy picked me up off my feet and led me to open doors. Mitch and his classes were extremely welcoming and informative, and he made sure all potential questions were answered. I left feeling very secure about my choice as an aspiring bartender because the guidance was very easy to follow and repeat myself. The location is conveniently off Venice Blvd near downtown. Thank you Mitch and crew!

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

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.
