I was so impressed with the Professional Bartender Program and the instructors’ vast knowledge of the Spirits Industry, that I am now interested in expanding my skills by participating in some courses from your Craft-Beer and Wine Academy. Especially enjoyed the hands-on approach that was part of all of my class sessions. All the practice really helped to make the learning stick. The
Interviewing Workshop that was included was a refreshing take on how to put all of our new skills to good use. I’ve got a few job prospects lined up and am interested in starting my own Pro Bartender Event Service. For now, thank-you all and I’ll be looking forward to working with you again in the future.

Received more than I expected. Very informative with many lively mixology practice sessions. Knowledgeable instructors with a lot of hospitality-training experience. Was more than satisfied with the all of the instructional materials that came with the course. Plenty of good info that will be used to perform on my new job at the Youngstown Country Club. The TIPS and the Job-Interviewing workshops we’re real bonuses and made it east to interview at the upscale places. I made use of the easy pay as you go plan which made it possible for me and my friends to attend. In all, I’m very pleased and very confident with my new skills that will be used at my new job at the Country Club.

The quality of this program was great. Very well taught, good information, and lots of practice. I liked that the instructors had a good sense of humor and were willing to answer any of our questions. The instructional manuals were very thorough and followed our class sessions in a step-by-step fashion, which made it even easier to learn. The job and interviewing tips really made the course come alive. Included lots of information on how to answer all kinds of questions and how to “smartly” present yourself to all kinds of employers. I feel very well prepared now and consider this to be one of my best learning experiences.

The Professional Bartender and TIPS Programs taught by Wines, Steins and Cocktails were first rate. The hands-on practice directed by instructors who own their own businesses made this experience a winner for everyone. Lots and lots of mixing and plenty of review each session really made learning easier and a lot of fun. Got a job at the Avalon Resort right after completing my training. I’m pleased with everything about taking part in this course and recommend it to anyone who wants to be a Professional Bartender.
❖ J. Prox – Niles, OH

I’m a college student and I feel that the money that I invested into my training with Wines, Steins and Cocktails to become a Professional Bartender was well worth it. The instructors who conducted the course were there early and stayed late for anyone who had questions or wanted to practice more to develop their mixing skills. I took the 36 hour program, but came for at least another 7 hours extra at no charge. Wish I had such energetic classes in college. So much fun and so much practice, the time passed so fast. Learned much and can see myself working in a number of hot-spots around town. I have friends that have taken this class and they are working jobs where they really roll in the cash. I’m especially looking forward to working at the beach this summer, so things are definitely moving in the right direction. Thanks for the wonderful opportunity.
❖ B. Underwood – Masury, OH

Well put together program run by an organization that knows the nightclub and bar business. Right to the point, up to date with a lot of hands-on practice. Training materials and bar manuals followed the topics discussed and provide a good reference for review. Flexible payment plan and Interviewing Workshop were icing on the cake. Just a fantastic experience at a very reasonable price. Highly
recommend to a anyone who wants to become a Professional Bartender and to those beer-tenders who really want to step up their game big time.
