1 class worth of practice drinks!
Jaylynn F.

Such a good and processional program! Lots of hands of practice, history of drinks + movie and music references to certain drinks! The director Steve is the best instructor, very quick whitted, funny, and really wants you to succeed so he will give you criticism but only for your best interest! 10/10 recommend and free refresher classes that I will be taking periodically!

Steve is an excellent instructor. If you want to learn how to be a great bartender and mix drinks properly, you need to attend this school. You will learn everything you need to know to be a super bartender and make money while having fun. Here a few Tall Drinks from my class today.

Tasty drinks!

My experience at the bartending academy was incredible!! It was so much fun, very informative, all hands on training and very organized. My instructor Steve was the best teacher you could want going into this industry. He taught us so much about all the different alcohols and methods of making drinks, and really showed us what it takes to be a GOOD bartender. Steve is so outgoing and fun, there is never a dull moment at the bartending academy! He makes you feel comfortable in a judge free environment but also holds you accountable to be a proper bartender. I really couldn't have asked for a better teacher. Thank you so much Steve, you are the man!! We appreciate everything you do for us aspiring mixologists! If you want to become a bartender, the Bartending Academy in Tempe is the place you need to go!!

I highly recommend The Bartending Academy to anyone wanting to learn how to bartend the right way. Steve is a great instructor, knowledgeable and genuinely wants his students to do well. He creates an atmosphere that fully prepares you for a career in bartending while making it fun.

Practicing "spoon floated" shooters! With zero alcohol. Amazing!

I just started attending last week and I'm absolutely loving it! It's all hands on and so much fun! Steve has been my teacher for every class so far and he really knows his stuff! I'm very happy I chose this school over all the others. I'm also confident that I'll be able to find a job after completing everything and very happy that I'll always have this school to help me whenever needed! It really does feel like a little family!

I'm late writing this but this bartending school definitely deserves a 5 star review. Last year around March, I was looking for a bartending school. I came across Bartending Academy and another school but I was torn between which school I wanted to attend. Both schools had awesome reviews and a great rating. Ultimately, I ended up going with Bartending Academy and I'm glad I did. The enrollment process was super smooth and I was able to start within the next few days. The owner Steve is amazing and has one of the coolest NYC accents I have ever heard lol. The classes were taught by Steve, Lala and another instructor. The course was very hands on and you truly learn a lot about bartending. This is also a great way for you to meet new people. The experience is definitely worth the price !

I can't emphasize enough how much of a rewarding investment this place is. Steve is a really funny guy he provides every tool necessary to get you ahead of the competition and more importantly to make you the best bartender you can be. The class is really short and the schedules are very flexible so anyone can give it a shot even with a full schedule. If you feel down on your luck or need a new profession come and check it out you won't regret it!

Steve and I on my graduation day!

See all
