I made the choice to go to Elite Bartending School because I Iiked the
idea of having REAL bartending experience while learning and I never
regretted my decision. The curriculum is current and applicable to the
bar scene of today, not the 80s like other bartending schools and that
was important to me. It's also comprehensive of every kind of drink
you would need or want to learn to make and also includes supplemental
information every bartender should know. The instructors are amazing
and very knowledgeable too and always there to help you. Being able to
actually bartend to real customers though taught me so much and gave
me real world experience so when I graduated and got a job bartending,
I was totally and completely prepared and it was a breeze. And the
kicker was making tips...it's like the school was free because by the
time I graduated I had made back the cost of the school and then some!

Fabulous!!! Elite Bartending Institute is by far the best school I’ve ever attended! The knowledge I gained from the classes and during my internship puts you above all the competition and I will without a doubt recommend Elite Bartending Institute to anyone interested in bartending. The instructors had such a dedicated, fun, and personable teaching method, which made learning enjoyable. I really felt that they were there for me, encouraging me, and building my confidence from the moment I met them. I had so much fun taking the course and building friendships with the staff, customers, and classmates that I’m a bit sad to be done, BUT I am confident that the training and experience I received will benefit me greatly in my job search. Thank you Jason, Dan, and Mike Z.
Sincerely,
“The best bartender”

I came to Elite Bartending School 4 months ago, not knowing what I wanted to do with my life. I have owned my own businesses and simply needed another income. I couldn't even imagine myself waiting tables and having customers complaining about the food all day long.
Even driving down to Elite, I was nervous, telling myself, perhaps this is not for me. I wasn't sure I wanted to bartend and certainly wasn't too exited over a classroom setting where I would have to write and learn all day long. After finally finding the school, (its quite hidden in the corner of Jerry's Deli shopping center), I walked in, realized that it was actually a real bar and as soon as I met the teachers, I instantly felt at ease.
I know this sounds really dramatic but enrolling at the school literally changed my life. I realized how much I enjoyed people! Not very long after I finished my classes, I was working making back all the money and way more than I had payed for the school. Every day was like a new adventure, meeting new exiting people and hearing their stories, entertaining, making people happy and making tons of money! Its like throwing a great big party and you're the host!
