American Bartending School

I visted all the schools and I found the staff to be very professional. I was able to sit and watch a class in session and talk with the students and the instructor. The other schools wouldn't let me do that.

These guys were the most logical choice after I visited four different schools from the internet. I met with a gentlemen who let me sit in on the class and then, (at my request) let me question the placement representatives. Two were there that day. They had enormous books of testimonials from working graduates and binders filled with course comments that students filled out after finishing the program. The longevity of the school is what sold me on it. None of the other schools seemed as organized, and some were just blatant scams. I'm due to finish next week and Mr. Cruz is a great teacher.

Pros: Very informative and organized.

Cons: Waiting list to get in depending on the class you want.

Thanks so much to the staff at American Bartenders! I had a blast and I learned enough to be confident on the job interviews that they sent me on. I got hired on my second interview!

Pros: Great instructors and placement staff - very helpful

Cons: The class I wanted was full and I had to wait to get in.

The guys and gals here did a great job of staffing my nightclub. The bartenders are great earners, a little wet behind the ears, but exactly what I was looking for in a front line staff at the full service bar. Thanks to Maria, Rica, and Howard for all your help. -Frank L.

I recently graduated from American Bartenders School and found the schools job placement assistance program to be very good. The instructors helped me redo my resume and gave me good tips on how to interview. I really appreciated the help Maria the school's job placement person gave me in finding a bartending job.

Pros: Good instructors, help with job placement

Cons: none

I have been instructor at American Bartenders School for many year. I take offense to negative reviews that probably have been written by illegal competitors. The staff at the school is licensed and certified by the state. We have many years of bartending and teaching experience. We are committed to offering the finest training possible to insure our students find bartending jobs when they complete the training. We have a full time job placement staff member that offers personal attention to graduates. We have 40 to 60 new job leads available to graduates every week. We offer job counseling, resume writing assistance and life time free refresher courses and job placement. Anyone that completes the training and doesn't find a job is a person that doesn't use the resources that school makes available. American Bartenders School has been business for almost 40 years in New York City and has locations nationwide. We are New Yorks oldest and most established bartending school. We have over 50,000 satisfied graduates. Prospective students are always welcome to visit us and speak with current students. If youre thinking about taking a bartending class, do these things before making a decision. 1. Visit the school in person. 2. Ask to see the schools license of the New York Department of Education 3. Ask to see the instructors New York Department of Education license 4. Make sure they allow you to watch a class 5. Talk with the job placement staff member if youre going to want help finding a job.

Pros: Nation's most established bartending school

I found the school's job placement service to be excellent. The staff at the school was very professional and helped me write a resume and gave me good information on how to interview for a bartending job. The school had a wide variety of establishments listed that were hiring bartenders. I went on 10 interviews the first week after finihsing the class and had several job offers. I choose the school because it has been in business for almost 40 years and has an excellent reputation in the industry.

Mohitos, Margaritas, Sxx on the Beach, Slow Comfortable Screws how could I go wrong. It was a fun class. The instructors Howard and Anthony are the best! Sorry the class is over.

I needed a flexiable job because I'm actor. Several friends of mine took the American Bartenders School class and are now working as bartenders making really good $$. I took their advice and graduated from the class 2 months ago. I have been working as a bartender for several weeks. I still want to be an actor but I have to eat while I'm waiting for my big break. The class isn't cheap but you get what you pay for.

Howard and Anthony were great instructors. They kept the class interesting and found. Tina the job placement direct was also very nice and helpful. I would recommend the school.
