ABC Bartending Schools

A few of my friends and I took bartending classes here and we had a blast! We went in once a week…read morefor a couple months, but you can go in more often if you want to finish the classes sooner. They offer classes 4 days a week, I believe, and you can finish it within a couple weeks if you want! We are provided with a book full of recipes and procedures that I still refer to. The inside of the school is like a real bar so you get REAL practice. The only difference is that the bottles are filled with colored water instead of actual liquor so you can practice a million times over, and we have plastic fruit instead of real fruit. The instructors, especially Kenny, are very knowledgeable and go above and beyond in their teaching. Not every bartender in the world is certified, but if you get certified here, you'll likely know more than most bartenders out there. Through the school, I was able to find a couple one-time gigs. Recently, Kenny referred a bar owner to me, and I got hired on the spot!! It's awesome because even after you graduate, you can return to the school to practice for interviews if you want. Come here if you want to get certified quickly, at great cost, and get the necessary knowledge and connections to work at bars in the area! :)

I highly recommend this specific bartender course to anyone in the Bay Area! Jeremy is such a great…read moreinstructor! I felt like I learned so much in such a fun and interactive way. I love how everything was so hands on. We were also able to try different types of liquors and try making real cocktails. From this class, I was able to discover some of my new favorite drinks! It was so fun being able to learn with the other classmates. The amount of students per class is perfect! You're able to learn without being lost in a crowd. It's also a great way to meet new people! This class is perfectly designed and Jeremy definitely caters to the group of people. I loved the pace and he would speed up or slow down depending on the day. Wish the class was longer but I'm really happy to have completed it!

On a whim, decided to buy the Sunday evening courses (4-9pm for 4 weeks) for the bartender's course…read morethe day of the first class and definitely did not regret it. I had done some research before on places in SF to learn how to make drinks and Jeremy's course came up at the top on Yelp and Google. Now I know why he always has 5 stars here! Jeremy (the owner of the bar where the class is and the instructor of the course) is awesome and a fun instructor! Also learning random facts here and there alongside the structured course where we'd learn facts about various drinks and also learn how to make the typical drinks you'd order at a bar or see offered on a menu. It's also a very hands-on class, where you learn how to make the drinks. You're actually behind a bar using real glass bottles (and with colored water in them) to learn how much to pour from the drink ingredients to make your manhattan, margarita, Moscow mule, espresso martini, and more! A lot of knowledge, so studying is definitely helpful. I haven't worked in the restaurant or bar industry before, but this gives me a greater appreciation for what our service industry does and also inspired me to build out a home bar! Definitely will be back and also will be on the lookout for the 1 day 2 hour cocktail class!

I paid $440 for the Level 1 Bartending Certificate through BAB Mixology School and I genuinely wish…read moreI had seen a review like this before signing up. What's advertised: * A structured, beginner-friendly bartending course *Professional environment *Hands-on training with proper materials *Certification upon completion What I actually experienced: The class was held inside a storage unit. Not a bar. Not a classroom. A storage room (see photos). The environment was dirty and unprofessional, and one of the juices provided had visible mold, which is completely unacceptable for anything involving food or beverages. Several basic ingredients (like cranberry and orange juice) were missing, so we were told to substitute with whatever was available. The class was supposed to run from 7pm-11pm but ended early around 10:20pm, and there was no legitimate certification test, despite that being advertised. Most of the time was spent casually making drinks with very little structured instruction. This did not feel like a real training course. It gets worse: Photos taken during the class were later edited with what appears to be an AI-generated bar background to make it look like students are learning in a professional bar setting. That is NOT what the actual environment looks like. On top of that, the certificate I received was issued with an incorrect date from a previous year, which raises concerns about the legitimacy of the certification itself. To be clear, the instructor was kind but the overall experience does not reflect a $440 professional program in any way. I'm sharing this so others can make an informed decision before spending their money.

I am submitting a formal complaint regarding my experience with this certification program, which…read moreraises serious concerns about health, safety, and business practices. it was supposed to be two days, but they only taught one day because there was only four of us in class that makes no sense. From the outset, the course lacked clear instruction and organization. More concerning, however, was the condition of the facility where the class was conducted. Participants were directed into what appeared to be a storage warehouse that was in extremely unsanitary condition. The environment included visible cockroach , unclean and poorly maintained restrooms, and food cherries )and beverages that were expired. He did not provided (orange and cranberry) grape fruit contained visible debris mold and appeared to be contaminated, posing a potential health risk.expired red ruby grapefruit juice December 25 date on it . These conditions do not meet basic sanitation or public health standards and may constitute violations of local health and safety regulations. Additionally, when participants attempted to document these conditions, photos were reportedly taken or concealed, which raises concerns about transparency and accountability. Despite paying over $440 for certification, the program failed to provide a professional or safe learning environment. Furthermore, the certificate I received contains an incorrect date (off by one year), calling into question its validity and the integrity of the program's recordkeeping. Given the totality of these issues--including unsanitary conditions, potential health code violations, lack of proper instruction, and inaccurate certification documentation. I believe this matter warrants further investigation. I'am asking for my money back !

Very highly recommend Matt's service, On the Rocks!…read more I was in a bind as at the last minute (the day or three before my event) as my caterer didn't have the proper insurance/documentation to pour at the General's Residence at Fort Mason to my great chagrin. Totally under high pressure, I began to use Yelp to call around and then I found Matt who immediately had the right documents and emailed them to me, the right attitude (friendly, expert, prepared and cool) and also consulted with me in email about what I already had and what I still needed. He not only delivered smoothly and brilliantly on the day, but he was prepared with everything he needed more than I asked him to do and even went out and secured ice because we didn't have enough. Basically, before finding Matt, I was afraid I'd have to serve mocktails. With Matt, we served cocktails and everybody was very happy! Amazing person!! I absolutely will hire him again and suggest you hire him now.

We had the pleasure of working with On The Rocks for our event on the 46th floor at Salesforce…read moreTower in San Francisco, CA, and the experience was absolutely wonderful. Everything was organized clearly and transparently from the very beginning. Communication was smooth, easy, and very straightforward. We coordinated with Matt, who was extremely professional and responsive throughout the process. The service was delivered exactly on time, and the entire setup looked beautiful. The drinks were delicious, the presentation was elegant, and the overall experience added a special atmosphere to the event. If you'd like to see how the drinks were served and presented at the event, you can watch a short video on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVfyld5gliR/ I'm truly happy we worked with On The Rocks and would highly recommend them. The team is fantastic, professional, and a real pleasure to work with. Best, TatianaSF.com
