The bartender I hired was extremely helpful from setup all the way to cleanup. So many of my friends complimented me on the bartender's drinks, they were absolutely delicious! Although there were a lot of moving parts and guests at my party, the bartender was able to make drinks really quickly and really helped with the atmosphere. She was super knowledgeable about the drinks, arrived early, and wore professional attire. She had all the materials necessary for making drinks, and she was super professional from start to finish. Can't recommend CBA enough for their incredible service and professionalism!Will definitely hire again from them for future events, and it's amazing how all the bartenders are college students too.

Communication with him was a breeze, and everything was great. We all wanted to refer him to our various companies at the end of the event LOL! The quoted rates were also the lowest of all options we considered and worked well for us since we already had a list of drinks in mind. Will definitely use again!

Hands down the best class I ever took. Bryan is a really fun teacher and his personality keeps the…read moreclass lively. He has vast experience and it shows in the meticulous advice he offers. Examples include how to do things right in order to prevent fines from the health department and mitigate the chance of making customers sick, appropriate garnishes, glassware, dishwashing, tips on how to optimize bartending efficiency, how to deal with trouble makers and the form of documentation required to protect the business. Bryan is a wonderful teacher and a really fun guy to be around. I would highly recommend this class / social club to anyone interested in any form of bartending. Whether you are a business owner looking to open a bar, someone who is trying to get into bartending as a career or hobby, or an experienced bartender looking to refine your cocktail craft, you would definitely benefit from this class.

It started off with provided finger foods such as cheese, grapes, and crackers with a glass of wine. Then we choose 3 drinks to make. All the material is provided and the instructors demonstrate how to craft the drink. The great part is that there isn't any limit on how you want to make it... So you can make it extra strong :) I think my favorite drink to make was the Negroni, as the instructor taught us several ways to make it. Overall a great experience! Left very happy and tipsy.

Not expensive, not cheap, it's fair. The only reason it's not a 5 is because the Newark location needs DEEP cleaning. It wasn't too bad until I used a bottle that had a dead roach in it. Wayne location is a lot cleaner and better overall

We been there several times and have never been disappointed. The venue is huge and is beautifully decorated. Very impressive. Their buffet appetizer was simply very good with a very large selection including offerings brought by our table. There were at least 350-400 people there last night and the sit down dinner was also overall very good. My wife had the chicken franchise, son the beef, and had the salmon. All portions were large. The salmon was a bit dry but good. I realize that can happen when ur feeding 400+ people at the same time. Justin our waiter did a great job and was very focused on doing his best to serve us. I would recommend The Venetian to anyone looking to hold an event. I've been there repeatedly and never left disappointed.

The decor is captivating and subtle at the same time. Now the cocktail hour. Let me tell you. DO NOT eat anything. You will have everything you need and more. My 10yr old was so excited the have pizza for her. The ballroom was decorated like a Bridgerton dance. Breathtaking. Dinner was great but to be honest, I was so full I just took little bites. I took my filet home. The bite I took melted in my mouth. Now the Venetian hour. I was like a kid in a candy store. My 10yr old was skipping around so excited for all the treats. This place lives up to the hype and more. I will never turn down an event hosted here. Shout out to the entire staff. You guys were awesome.

Both times we have absolutely had a great time. The classes always seem to attract a (mostly) cool, laid-back crowd . The owner, Rob, is funny and tries to keep the mood light and fun. You can definitely tell he truly appreciates everyone's business and really tries to make sure everyone has a good time. Though I am an introvert at heart, I appreciate being pushed a little outside my comfort zone and being put at the bar to mix drinks. The hands on experience also helps you mingle with the others in the class. We will definitely return!

The class itself, 15 minutes of demonstration then the owner did his own thing. Alcohol was certainly not top shelf liquor and there was no adjusting the recipe. Adding sprite to every cocktail when seltzer would have been a great alternative was out of the question. There was no substitutions available. Needless to say, for the price that was paid per person, we could have purchased premium liquor, watched a you tube video on how to measure (i certainly dont measure out my alcohol!) and done this at home. In response to Rob's comments, I didnt bash, I explained my experience. It was classified as a mixology class, not a tasting as Rob rebutted. There is certainly a difference. A few accommodations and my review would have been different!

I am extremely disappointed in your school. Henry was a good teacher but Alex, not so much. On the…read moresecond day of training he said that a Cuba Libre was jack and Coke and everyone looked around at eachother confused. He also said that there was Kahluah in the Sex on the beach and when the class told him there wasn't he said "oh my book has a different recipe". I highly doubt his book had a different recipe, he made a mistake and didn't want to own up to it. That day was the day that we learned the drinks that needed to be shaken and he didn't teach anyone how to shake. People where shaking from left to right by their waist with the glasses horizontal, I taught my partner how to shake the proper way and I am a paying student, I shouldn't be teaching her. The dye used for coloring the fake alcohol leaves your hands colored for days and is not presentable for people who do have a job and need to work the next day. Also, there are labels halfway to almost being peeled off on some of the bottles which doesn't teach people what they look like. Also, I don't think it is very professional to be using acronyms such as "OJ's ASS" or "OJ's VERY TIGHT LITTLE ASS". This is embarrassing to your establishment and makes people not take the class seriously at all. Also, there is mold on every inch of that bar. It absolutely disgusting. It shows the new people that it is okay to have a bar this filthy. It was so gross and very hazardous. This school is such a waste of time And money. I don't want to return due to the bad teaching and the establishment. I was extremely disappointed in the school and would like a full refund since the place is a mess and it's dangerous to be standing in mold for 8 hours straight especially when I know that the Health Department would have a field day in your school. I spoke to them and asked for a refund and they told me no since I had completed days of training already. I had told them that if I found all the poor things out about their establishment on day 1, I would have but everyday was something new going wrong there and they still wouldn't refund me. Don't waste your time and money b
