Mixology Bartending Academy

It doesn?t get any better than Mixology Bartending Academy, truly San Diego?s best-kept secret for high quality Bartending School. There are no hidden fees or gimmick?s here, simply the most straightforward and accurate way to learn to operate and maneuver successfully behind the bar. I didn?t have a clue about what to do behind a bar, and now after completing the one-week course I can honestly say I feel confident and worthy of calling myself a Bartender. The atmosphere is fun, modern, comfortable and inviting. The deluxe bar set-up is exactly what you?d see and work with in a real bar. The owners are the most professional, supportive and nicest people around. The week was spent learning about how to properly make over 100 cocktails (hands-on); detailed product knowledge of beer, wine, champagne, liquor and garnish; hands-on training of drink presentation, bar equipment and proper etiquette behind the bar and much, much more. I can?t say enough magnificent things about this school except that the week went by too fast. I highly encourage you to call or swing by for yourself, you won?t regret it, the price is unbeatable and the customer service is hands down the best in town. more

I can not say enough about the professional atmosphere, training and instructors!!! Top Shelf all the way. I took the week crash course with no previous bar tending skills and passed! You must dedicate yourself and study day and night, but this school should be your 1st choice!! My instructor was Al - he is very systematic, organized, professional and extremely knowledgeable. They supply all materials needed for the course plus with your certificate you receive other information to blast off in this career field. Not only did I learn accurate mixology skills, I felt comfortable and had so much FUN!!! more

Awesome. Great Experience? This school looks like a new downtown bar. I had a lot of fun while I learned to mix drinks correctly, how to make a lot more money when I work, the laws of serving alcohol, how to communicate w/customers? tons of useful stuff way beyond my expectations. The instructors were great, fun, experienced and smart. They helped me find work and now I?m make great money bartending in Downtown San Diego! My girlfriend and I got a group discount. Go to this school, it?s so worth it. more

WOW. I know why they're ""Voted Best"". I got so much more from this bartending school than I thought I would. I recommend this place to anyone. I wish my college professors were like Al and Frank (the instructors), Patient and Experienced, they're the most Professional, Courteous, and Fun teacher's I've ever met. The school is clean, modern (thought I was in a real bar), unlike the other schools I visited. Some of the other schools wouldn't even quote me a price (that was fishy). A few weeks after graduating the 1 week course, they helped me land a sweet bartending job, making good $$$, meeting cool people, and I also mix drinks for friends at parties. Highlights (a lot of positives): 1. 30 seconds off the freeway 2. No hidden costs; everything's included 3. Checked with BBB; A-rating, no complaints 4. Fun Environment 5. Went to work a month after graduating 6. Experienced n' Patient instructors 7. Clean, Modern, Realistic facility 8. Worth the drive from Camp Pendleton, got my military spouse discount. more
