Review content:
Some of the bad reviews on here are either fake or stupid lazy people who are not using all the great info that the teachers provided! In regards to job placement....they tell you even before you start that the job placement depends on US (the students). Just like any kind of job placement! Where on earth are you going to go to a school, graduate and walk into the job placement office and say "I need a job" and walk out with one as if it were magic! You the student, need to be outgoing, smart, funny, and hard working in order to get a job! Anyone who thinks they can just rely on a school to give them a job is stupid! (DONT GET ME WRONG! THEY DO HELP!) But in the end it’s up to the student to make it happen.......and the instructors give you sooooooooooooo much GREAT advice and industry secrets to make it happen!
-But I digress........
The school is FANTASTIC! IT looks JUST like a real bar and everything is so clean and organized. (In fact the bar looks so real that on St. Patrick’s day two tourists found their way into our class room, sat down on the bar stools and asked one of the students for 2 shots of house whisky!!! ha ha ha ha NOT KIDDING!)
My instructors name was FORREST.....the other instructors were great too, each with different personalities....but Forrest was amazing (12 yrs experience and very laid back).
The overall program is very intense and you will learn everything from shots, highball drinks, martinis, manhattans, hot drinks, beer and wine seminars ,frozen drinks, shaken drinks.
When you graduate(and everyone in my class did) you will have around 180-250 drinks MEMORIZED! Other schools tout that you will learn 300, but they teach nonsensical drinks that no one orders, the instructors informed us that they only teach the most popular drinks and it makes sense. Why clutter your head with recipes no one orders.
In conclusion.......if you’re not sure which school to go to, or if your wondering if it’s worth the money......consider this; Take their FREE class or come into the office and ask to sit in on a class to observe a REAL session they are ok with that! Also you can retake this class ANYTIME you want! (Not kidding, one girl in our class graduated 6 YEARS AGO.....). My favorite thing is that if I EVER have any questions or want a refresher I can come back and sit in on a class!
See for yourself why this school has so many good reviews and when you graduate don’t be a pussy, work hard and have a good attitude be intelligent and you will land that bar job! (One idea I have for you is to go to a bar and ask to trail/stage/work for free, they get a free employee, you get experience, a bar for your resume, and maybe a permanent job!
OHHHH AND THIS IS NOT A REVIEW FROM THE SCHOOL.....on graduation day they give us a survey and we sign off that it’s ok if they use our review for promotional things. That is why some reviews are different but from the same place. I just had so much fun at the school that I wanted to share MY OWN PERSONAL review.
ASK FOR FORREST AS YOUR INSTRUCTOR!!!!
Pros: very informative teachers
Cons: too short.....BUT.....you can keep coming back to learn!
