Chris was an amazing instructor. He walked us through a great amount of cocktails and different popular drinks that we hear every day. Got to learn everything hands on and learned a lot of techniques I didn’t know before. He was very helpful and answered all my questions. It was definitely a class I’d recommend 10/10.

Classes are easy and fun, Chris breaks down every lesson and patiently helps you understand every drink you need to learn. It feels like friends hanging out in a bar just messing around having fun together. This was definitely the most pleasant “school” experience I’ve ever had.

I would highly recommend this establishment to get a good footing into the industry. Chris is a great instructor and will tell you like it is. Tough love. But a great way to learn what you need to know. If you take the week course, be prepared to clear an entire week of your schedule to learn a lot.

If your looking for a school for bartending come here. The instructor Chris is amazing!He’s so funny,cool, but at the same time a good teacher. He motivates you to study, practice, and just try to be the best you can be.I came in not knowing anything about drinks or liquor, now I know so much. Also even though I’m more of a slow/ hands on learner, he took his time and did not get frustrated. So I appreciated that 100%

I did the 1 week class, i would like to say if you dont have the best study skills the two week might be best for you its all preference. I would say get your sleep if you live far away it’s important to be focused and ready to learn. overall i would say my favorite part was the way chris made stories about the drinks it makes it easier to memorize recipes. highly recommended and well worth the cost.

This course was very fun, educational, & hands on. Chris gives you all the tools & training you need to go out & successfully land a bartending job even if you came w/ no experience. If you are on the shy side like me, & not sure if this is for you.. by the end of this course you’ll feel completely different trust me. Chris has his own ways of making the class welcoming & helping ppl build that confidence. Go for it!

The instructor Chris is engaging and energetic! School reminds me of a dive bar vibe and I dig it. Great for beginners or people who have bartended but didnt get any guidance behind it on the basics. This information could improve so many bars. Would definitely recommend.

Chris was fantastic! I had so much fun during the course. I learned so many things about myself, how to manage multiple things at once all while having fun. Very professional environment, fun classmates, informative book that we get to keep, new and old recipes added and alterations. All around just an amazing experience. If you’re looking to go to any bartending school definitely come to ABC!

Chris has been amazing Ive known him for about 2 years. He has push me a long way to obtain my certificate. Hes taught me how to have tough skin how to how to handle people and different situations. He also taught me its not just about serving the liquor its about being there for someone. I would highly recommend ABC bartending school to anyone whos looking to try something different.

Review №37

If you got Chris as an instructor, you’ll definitely have a good time learning. Chris has an unorthodox approach to teaching, which will prepare you for the real world when bartending, while bringing out a comfort to interact freely and openly. Learned a lot of importance of what happens behind the bar alongside safety measures and responsible bartending. After being certified I am more confident in being able to deliver the best experience in any bar that I will be working in. I recommend this course for everyone whether you have experience or not because it gives you an alternate perspective on how things should and can be done. Overall Great Experience.

After being curious about bartending, I decided to look into a school and ABC didn’t disappoint! Coming to ABC on my first day I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect. There were many classes available to fit my schedule which was something I was looking for. The instructor Chris, made everything easy to understand and to make, he is energetic and passionate about being successful bartenders. From my first day to my last, what I learned from Chris was how confident I am to bartend, and I have so many stories in my head to remember the recipes for drinks. Thank you Chris & ABC for a great experience!

Review №61

It’s kind of awkward that they ask you to leave a review before receiving certification, puts the pressure on to leave a great review. I feel more comfortable pouring and have a broader knowledge of different liquors. However I feel like finding a bar to give you a chance will prove to be more beneficial than the class. As far as job placement, they don’t seem to have a lot of connections that let the school know when a bar is hiring so that graduates from the school could be recommended, they use job sites like indeed and let you know who is hiring. The instructor was VERY brash.

Prior to attending this bartending school, I bartended for almost 2 years and within a week of attending this school I learned more than I ever thought I knew of bartending. I highly recommend everyone to attend these classes. My instructor Chris made the learning fun with music, stories and great instructions; will also teach you to have thick skin which is very important in this industry.

I had 2 years of bartending experience when I decided to get certified. I thought I wouldnt learn much but that wasnt true. I learned more in this school then I learned in my experience. Chris goes over everything thoroughly and clearly, and hes not afraid to have fun with it. This was an amazing decision and every bartender should take the course.

Chris was a TON of fun to learn from! I enjoyed learning the history and make-up of alcohol, as well making numerous drinks! It was a hands on experience, which is what helps me learn best! I looked forward to going every day, and the week was over too fast. I feel way more confident in my endeavor to work as a bartender. If you’re interested in starting out, and don’t know anything about liquor, or very little, I highly recommend signing up for this class.

Chris was an incredible instructor that made the class very engaging and fun. It definitely isn’t pg so don’t come in expecting it but you are in bartending classes. I did the one week and it was fast and a lot to learn but you can do it with some study hours. Could not recommend this more for those interested in the field but don’t know where to start.

I enjoyed hands-on learning with a knowledgeable instructor. Chris shared insightful experiences that can help a newbie to the bartending industry as well as offer guidance in creating good habits that will save a person time and earn a person more money (hopefully) in the long run! It was an engaging class with a plethora of information to mold a student into a worthy employee for the REAL world. I cant wait to put my skills to test and get started behind a fun and lively bar.

The course was easy to comprehend. Chris (the instructor I had) was great at helping make it fun and entertaining. I took the two week course, and it was easy to get through but keeps you on your toes. There is no big test only daily tests that help you remember the courses content better. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with chris and recommend anyone to take this course. Cheep and fun.
