Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania's largest bartending school since 1995

What started as a single location has grown into a network of 26 locations, making quality bartending education accessible to thousands of students every year.
Our mission has always been simple: provide hands-on, professional bartending training that prepares students for real-world success behind the bar.
