Conveniently located a FIVE MINUTE walk from #NEWARKPENNSTATION, makes commuting from #NEWYORKCITY and NEW JERSEY origins, simple. Starting from NEWARK PENN STATION, walking or in vehicle, you can enter Prospect Street from Market Street or Ferry Street. I decided to inquire and learn about FAMOUS BARTENDING SCHOOL (a.k.a. MIX EM UP BARTENDING SCHOOL in SOUTH PLAINFIELD, NJ and VERONA, NJ), and do not know about other schools, but this BARTENDER School was started by its OWNER whom knows RESTAURANT, BAR and CLUB businesses well, having owned and managed first hand, all three. "Jessie" owns #FAMOUSBARTENDINGSCHOOL and #MIXEMUPBARTENDINGSCHOOL, and hearing his introduction to the school, you may find yourself instantly developing an appreciation and immediate liking to FAMOUS Bartending School (a.k.a. MIX EM UP). One reason to consider this school, as you will learn in the introduction, is that it has a NETWORK of businesses in the HOSPITALITY industry, providing FAMOUS Bartending School graduates starting opportunities, and it can only be due to the QUALITY of Bartenders this school produces. If you have an interest in learning about Bartending, I suggest you contact FAMOUS BAR ENDING SCHOOL, with locations in IRONBOUND NEWARK, VERONA, PHILADELPHIA, with other locations planned to open in Northern and South New Jersey, and throughout the NORTHEAST.

My experience here at "The Famous Bartending School" has been one of the most fun experiences I've had learning something. This course offers all the materials you need to become a successful bartender. Famous Bartending School offers night or day classes so they can accommodate you no matter what. We met for 3 and a half hours a day 4 times a week and you quickly pickup bartending in that time. The morning classes were from 9 am to 2 pm. Night classes were 6 pm to 10 pm. They offer it every month so you can always become a bartender if you want to overnight and start training. Once the student gets enough practice they receive their bartending certfication. This certification you can get here also grants State certification so you can bartend anywhere in the country. The school even has a job placement program for the students who need help finding work. Before starting my search on becoming a bartender I didn't think it was going to be easy at all but with the best bartending school helped me learn while making it fun it was a matter of no time until I became one. The prices environment and nature of the course is why Famous Bartending School is the best bartending school in the New York/ New jersey area. I only heard good things about it and now that I have done it I would recommend this to anyone ever trying to pursue being a bartender. I am so grateful for the help and experience they provided me with. Thank You! read more

Signed up for the course several months ago and with the pandemic--a good deal of the material has been moved on-line. I started with zero knowledge or experience. The on-line lectures with Jasdeep Singh aka (Jesse) were informative, clear, thorough and entertaining. Along with reviewing the bartending e-manual (definitely review your alcohol brand knowledge!), I passed the written test. Watching Jesse's lectures and studying the drinks prior to the practical training allowed us to focus on-site (Wayne location) with practical training behind the mock bar station--which I have really enjoyed, particularly the multi-drink speed drills. Our instructor PJ is very personable and supportive while ensuring that we get every "order" right and completed efficiently. As someone without experience in the restaurant industry, my only recommendation might be to integrate a mock price list--even something unrealistically simple for practice adding order price totals and handling (faux) cash money. But overall I wish I had researched bartending school and taken this class years ago. The experience has been so much fun! And it really is such a valuable skill and knowledge to have for even personal enrichment/ your own entertaining and parties, and the investment in terms of money and time is minimal when compared to a college course. read more

I already own a family restaurant and was looking to expand my personal skill set into bar tending to have a better concept of what to expect from my employees. After googling multiple schools in New York and New Jersey, I found Famous Bartending was both highly rated and easy to get to by car or train. They also have highly flexible schedules for 2 and 3 week programs. Upon starting the class I was overwhelmed by the amount of skills and information we were expected to memorize and utilize in 12 days, but with the excellent material and a knowledgeable and fun instructor I was completely ready walking in the second Friday. All in all, the information from the lectures and the provided literature were worth the price of admission. Even if you have no interest getting a job as a bartender; the class is a great experience and teaches some amazing skills, I'm highly satisfied and will recommend this school to anyone interested! read more

I went and met the instructor personally when I was looking into taking a mixology course for my birthday with few of my friends. The place is great, it is an actual in business bar right next to the prudential building in downtown newark, along with other state building right next door. From reading another review that said the school is total ghetto trash, obviously that person has been been to this bartending school because it was nothing as they have described it. It is a clean, fun, diverse school with a great instructor. You learn a lot and he also allows you to gain experience hands on during F-Lounge parties that are held at the premises. I will recommend this school to everyone as long as you are not racists as the person who gave the negative comment. FAMOUS BARTENDING SCHOOL will also land you a job. The instructor works very hard to make sure you get job after you are licensed. read more

Jessie is a great teacher! He is always energetic and fun to learn with. This school is not to sit for full 8 hours (weekends), it is hands on.

He is on top of his teachings.Time passes by so quick when you're having so much fun while meeting new people. I love this school and I am glad I chose this school then any other schools.

I am currently a student at the South Plainfield location. Jessie who is the owner and teacher of the school is one of the best teachers I've ever had in any course. His energy and knowledge in bartending is amazing. I've learned so much in such a short period of time that I'm really pleased with the skills that I have developed. If you are considering a new career, want to earn some extra cash, or just want to learn more about the field of bartending, I highly, highly, highly recommend you attend the best bartending school in New Jersey. Thank you Jessie for all that you taught me. Jessie, you're the best!!!! read more

DO NOT LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO SAY BARTENDING CLASSES ARE WORTHLESS!!! Jesse and his class is the best to learn the basics and build confidence for a real work environment. He puts the right amount of pressure to get you to utilize your skills in hectic situations. Great team work environment! You will have fun! It's great exposure if you have never been behind a bar. You won't be disappointed. The instructors take their roles seriously and make sure you are learning the necessary techniques! I definitely recommend! Bring a friend and team up to make it even more fun! read more

Taking this class was truly a great experience, not only did I learn more then I thought was possible in only a two week time frame but the environment, the classmates, and the teachers were all a lot of fun. I'm not a drinker and came into this class knowing literally nothing about alcohol...for example: I wasn't able to tell the difference between liquor and Liqueur or even top shelf brands from whats in your speed rack. Thanks to this class I know those two things and much more, and not only that but now I'm able to walk out the classroom door calling myself a bartender. read more

Great place to take bar tending courses with small class sizes and friendly staff. I found this bartending school to be very spacious approachable and beginner friendly, but still had staff with a lot of experience and knowledge. The school helps you find work after you get your certification, so buying even the most basic course package goes a long way. Also great for people who have bartended before but want to review their skills or learn new ones. Would recommend for people who want to get into bartending or want something to do with a girlfriend /boyfriend. read more

This is my first week at Famous Bartending School, and so far, the instruction, interaction, and atmosphere are TOP NOTCH!! I've got friends who bartend, have been through certification and instruction; and they have mentioned that they have not learned the majority of the things I've learned within my first 3 DAYS!! The instructors are energetic and keep it real as far as making sure we, as students, are not just meeting the standard, but EXCEEDING the standards! I look forward to the upcoming lessons; and then graduating with my bartending certificate!! read more

Just completed my first week of class.. And it's amazing, to say the least. My instructors, Gustavo and John are truly awesome. They are extremely knowledgeable and experienced bartenders, and are very patient teachers. They taught us the correct ways to pour drinks and explained the importance, and gave us some insight as to what we should expect in the real world. We were also shown different ways drinks are made in different places, which is good to know. I really recommend this school to anyone that is looking to get into bartending. read more

I can't wait for these next two weeks to kick some butt and take in everything I am taught !! Thanks Jesse and Kaylen.. your both truly authentic and real... something I hold in high regard when meeting new people!! read more

I really liked this course and it opened me up to the awesome world of bartending. It seems a little intimidating but you learn all the drinks you will have to know and have plenty of time to master them. Facility is clean, teacher is energetic, and the information is up to date. The only thing that I didn't like was the fact that I had to pay for a broken glass considering how much I payed for the course. Other than that, I loved getting to know the people I was in class with and can see myself bartending in the near future. read more
