Amazing instructor and an experience I will never forget. Not only is this good for hobbies but it’s amazing for starting a job/career.

Had an awesome time learning with Rob. Was great to brush up on skills I had forgotten. Enjoyed the class and put my skills to the test right after. Definitely recommend

It was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I came there with some what knowledge of serving and a bit of bartending. But I wanted to be more qualified and to know the right way of being a server/ bartender. Rob met all my expectations. As I am sure I will accomplish much more now that I am properly certified and trained. I am so thankful!! I definitely would recommend this place.

I attended a class as part of a Meetup group and it was a blast. Ian and Kathy were so welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. Ian's instructions were easy to understand and we got to make some great drinks. Whether you already mix cocktails at home or you've never made one before, the class is lots of fun. It would be great for a date or a girls night!

Took a mixology class here and had such a great time. The instructors were fantastic; I learned a lot and had so much fun. Added bonus was getting tipsy by the end of the class!!

Bartending Career

A Journey of Senses: The Art of Wine Tasting

I completed the bartending course in the evenings and the bar chef seminar (will be taking the wine and flair seminars as well). I absolutely loved the course! Kasia was an incredible instructor and I learned a lot. She had excellent rapport with the students and created a fun and encouraging learning environment. I feel prepared for a bartending job, as well as satisfied that if I decide to not take a bartending job I had a great experience that I will take with me regardless. I recommend this class even if you don't want to be a bartender and just want to have fun and learn some drink making techniques! Ian taught the bar chef seminar and was an equally amazing teacher. Overall, an amazing experience!
