I checked into a number of bartender schools and Wines, Steins and Cocktails is by far the best. Not only did they deliver on their promise to teach the trade all hands-on and to a level that ensures success to all those who put their recommendations to use, but they accomplished doing it for less than half the cost of other bartender programs and provided the training close to where I live.
Everything was professional from the get go. The books and supplies were A-1, the amount of practice was phenomenal, and the interviewing and job work-shop was a bonus. I especially appreciated the pay as you go plan for without it I wouldn’t have been able to take the program. Thank-you

This letter is in appreciation to Wines, Steins & Cocktails for providing superb training and support for your graduates, one of whom we hired directly out of your program at our establishment, Old 97 Cafe, in Akron, OH. Allegra was professional from the get-go. She has excellent mixology skills and is a joy to have as our lead bartender. It was apparent from the onset that her training was a part of her confidence in creating new and unique cocktails for our guests. Many thanks to you and your staff for providing the opportunity for our people to acquire the expertise needed to excel on the job and for continuing to create so many talented bartenders in the Northeast Ohio area.

Found everything about this course to be incredibly useful. The information presented and the training manuals are current and up to date. The practice sessions are very lively and taught by gentlemen who are pleased to see you learn. Your vision to achieve is their intention. If you had questions or needed assistance, they were right on it. I really appreciated the attention and the fact that all the instructors and their company were confident enough of their ability to offer an easy pay as you go plan. This was a real winner in my book, because it made it possible for me and a number of my classmates the opportunity to take part in such a fine program. I can’t say enough about this great learning experience that I will be putting to use shortly on my new job.

The quality of the Professional Bartender Hospitality Training Program was first class all the way. The instructors, teaching methods and bartender manuals were excellent. Instructors presented all the learning in a hands-on fashion that emphasized a considerable amount of actual mixing practice and quite of bit of review each session. Interviewing, customer service, inventory selection, craftbeer, wine, and operating your own bartender-event service were other valuable topics that were all discussed in great detail. I’m very pleased with the level of professionalism that I have acquired and am well satisfied with my learning experience. I recommend this program to any one who wants to learn Professional Bartending and for those who would like to excel in the hospitality trade.

Excellent class! The instructors made each session interesting and enjoyable. Very knowledgeable fellows. I participated in the Professional Bartender Plus Program: Mixology, TIPS and Flair-Bartending, approximately 46 hours of hands-on instruction and practice. The training for each program was right on target. I learned a lot and the time passed quickly. Have my eyes on working at Put-In-Bay this summer and feel I’m ready to give it a go. I’m confident that I’ll perform well in any situation. Thanks WSC.
