The course was very informative and covered all aspects of Professional Bartending. Especially liked the mixing of the drinks each session, because I learn best by the all-hands on method. Each time we attended the class, the bars were rearranged to mirror those in nightclubs, restaurants, hotels, country clubs and casinos. This was a great idea and really gave me more confidence in my new skills. The instructors were super knowledgeable and shared their information with everyone. They answered all our questions and really gave us some great interviewing tips in the job-search workshop that comes with the program. By the end of the course, I had learned and practiced all kinds of drinks. Had a great time making Tiki and blended island specialties. The shot-making session was amazing. All the tricks that we learned will really help us stand out and give us the opportunity to showcase our skills. Thanks for a wonderful course and all the extras. Will recommend your program to anyone who wants to become a bartending pro.

Glad I took the Professional Bartender Program put on by Wines, Steins and Cocktails. Saw this course advertised several times over the years and decided to give it try. What a great experience. I learned so much about the Mixology trade that I felt confident enough to leave Morgantown and relocate to Brooklyn, NY where I now work at the exclusive Park Avenue Country Club. Classic drink-making
is the norm in these parts and my instructors prepared me well. The money and the perks are superb. And, there’s plenty more jobs of this kind available in the area. I recommend this course to anyone looking for a mobile trade that pays well and offers a lot in the way of job opportunities.

Amazing program. Got a job at the Indiana Country Club the week of completing the course. The reputation of your school was the deciding factor for me getting the job, as they were pleased with other graduates that have worked for them over the years. Have had the opportunity to create new drink menus and specials for regulars and for festive occasions. I’m approaching my last year at the University and then it’s off to Colorado for graduate school. It’s great to know that my skills are competitive, and that I can make some good money no matter where I go. Thanks so much for all your help.

I had been bartending for awhile and thought I would take this class after some of my friends had spoken so highly of their experiences, all of which had no bartender experience yet all are working in nice places now. I truly made a good decision to invest what was little time and money compared to the return that I’ve gotten back so many times in the way of confidence and income. There sure is a big difference from the shot and beer tender scene and what I experienced in the way of training with Wines, Steins and Cocktails. Their instructors are hospitality pros who own and consult to the Food & Beverage Trades. Their approach to learning is entirely hands-on. What I learned and the amount of practice that our class performed made work a breeze. I now have up to date professional bartending skills and flair that I can apply to any type of mixing environment. This course has opened up a whole new level of employment opportunities for me. Recommend this class to all
bartenders that want to step up.

Needed a job while attending college that afforded me the opportunity to make some decent money with a flexible schedule. Knew nothing about bartending prior to my taking the Professional Mixology course and got two jobs coming right out of the program. The course is lots of fun and is taught by real professionals who have worked with the cruise and casino industries. So, we got some of the best training that I’ve ever experienced anywhere. The instructors were easy going, lots of patience, and willing to review and answer any questions. We practiced pretty much the entire session each time we met. Together with the Pro Mixology course, I participated in the TIPS and Showcase Flair-Bartender programs, about 44 hours of hands-on instruction. Got my full tuition back in 3 shifts on the job. I’d hope I to get the same return on all the dough I’ve shelled out for college to date. This was a great move. I look forward to working at Ocean City or Myrtle Beach this summer.

Great programs with instructors that do an excellent job. All the teachers are highly knowledgeable of the profession and teach with a lot of enthusiasm. Always well prepared for class and always ready to answer all your questions. Got plenty of opportunity to practice each session and this really helped me develop my skills. Pleased to have taken part in such a fine program and recommend it highly.
