I had zero bartending experience before signing up with Brooklyn Bartending School, but thanks to my instructor, Jake, I now feel like a pro behind the bar! He broke everything down—from proper pouring techniques to customer service skills—and made sure we practiced until we got it right. I especially loved learning how to free pour accurately without a jigger. Highly recommend this school if you want hands-on training with a real industry expert!

"What I loved most about Brooklyn Bartending School was that they held the lessons at an actual bar, so I got real-world experience right from the start. After completing my training, I even got an internship as a bar-back at that same bar, which helped me transition into a full-time bartender position. If you want to learn in a real bar environment, this is the place to do it!"
