They showed me the pressure of the clock, the precision of the recipes, and the way a bar is run with hands on practice. I can confidently say the team helped me get on my feet with bartending. Cindy holds it down as the front end of the operation and she's a gem! Always helping with coordinating around upcoming potential gigs and opportunities. Great investment that I will make back quickly with this new skill in mixology.

When I arrived for my first day, I observed some people taking their final exam and thought how professional and skilled they looked and thought I would never get to that level. On my last day, I took my final exam with new students watching and thought how funny it was that I felt that way, since everything actually felt so simple as I took the exam. They provide in-depth knowledge in mixology and skills necessary to become a reliable bartender. They use a lot of repetition throughout classes to ensure you learn/memorize important details. To complete this course, you must take 2 classes every day of the week, not necessarily in the same week - the flexibility is great for those who go to school or already have a job, which was my case. They give you 6 weeks to complete your studies.

From talking to her, she said that our party was the most fun she had ever had at a job, which is super sweet of her to say. I will definitely find another event to hire Shannon again! Thank you!

I called today after filling out the online request for info about 10-12 days ago, then emailing about a week ago. When Joe answered the phone this morning, I was relieved to know they were around and could answer some questions. When Joe went into his spiel of asking ME questions, he got very upset if I'd need to stop him for clarification. He was annoyed I didn't have a more specific time than "evening" for the party that I'm in the midst of planning. He was condescending when I said my husband was "into mixology and had been to some of their places" which was I guess the wrong thing to say (??) -- [they have a list of all of the speak-easy-type places and bars in which their mixologists have worked so...?]. When he asked if we had a bar in our house, I said we could rent one -- that also annoyed him. He told me they were very expensive, he also said something about protecting themselves from our guests being rude to his mixologists bc they're young? WTF Joe was super arrogant and told me he'd been doing this a long time and if I would just let him speak this would go better. I was not interrupting him and if I ever did, I would say, "I'm so sorry, let me just stop you for a second..." before clarification. Then he said if you want to talk to somebody else, which I wrongly assumed meant someone AT HIS COMPANY who could clarify things, he told me to go to a different company and to have a nice day. Wow.

Awesome Beverage Service for Parties & Special Events!…read more SITREP I recently attended a special event hosted at the ICIS Apartment Homes, and N2 Mixology was the wonderful outfit that provided the drink options & the beverage service to all of us attendees. THE SETUP There was both a main bar area in the upstairs lounge area of the Office for ICIS Apartment Homes. [It has a wonderful vibe of a trendy club, with lots of space and great furnishings.] This set-up permitted the good people at N2 Mixology to prepare the drinks at the bar, as well as set-up server platters full of drinks to distribute. And so I have to say right off how impressed I was with N2 Mixology's ability to cover such a large crowd of people (upward towards 200 by my own personal count). THE BAR Oh my goodness! There were so many delicious cocktail creations, and a shout-out needs to go here about the featured talents of Niko Novick and his crew from N2 Mixology. THE AWESOME REP Since starting N2mixology LLC back in 2011, Novick has been busy consulting with other bars, helping design some of the set-ups around town for new establishments. He has also been busy being booked for many shows after-parties, including the Sundance Film Festival, SXSW, and Toronto Film Fest two years in a row. The guy and his team's drinks are amazing, and the adding of dry ice gives some of the drinks I loved in particular since it gave a very mystical ambiance as they smoke up! THE LOWDOWN I love N2 Mixology and their beverage making and serving talents. They are your "go-to" vendor if you want to arrange a special event where classy drink preparation is a must.
