The best bartending institute! Great experience behind a real bar! Great people in the room! Luis has a lifetime experience that he shares with students and Cindy is just the best! She provides so much help and guidance and real job placement ! Also Mr G gives tips and advices that you won’t find anywhere. I wish all institutes were fighting for their students as they do here!!

I had an incredible experience at Bartending Training Institute, thanks to the amazing instructors, Louis and Mr. G! From day one, they were welcoming, knowledgeable, and made every class engaging. It was fun and exciting but most important very rewarding experience!

Louis brought a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for the craft, ensuring that every student, no matter their skill level, understood the techniques and gained confidence behind the bar.

Mr. G was equally fantastic, offering clear, hands-on guidance, and always making sure we were comfortable with each skill before moving on. They both created a fun, yet professional environment where I felt motivated to learn and improve.

Cindy prepared me for the real world and went above and beyond by helping me secure a job after graduation. I felt fully supported throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a great bartending school with job placement assistance, I highly recommend this program!"

This place is great, if you want to learn to be one of the best bartenders in Los Angeles, go here.

The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and have a lot of experience. They are straight forward and they know how to answer any question you have. Neither Lou or Mr. G will tip toe around your feelings, but they will make sure you feel comfortable and know exactly what you are doing by the time you graduate.

Cindy helps coach you through job placement and effective ways to fill out your resume and applications. She has a lot of connections and will do as much as she can to place you in a job that is both a good fit, as well as somewhere you are excited to work at.

Overall this is a great school and I had a great experience. I feel confident in my skills, I feel confident in my knowledge, and Lou, Cindy and Mr. G all care about your success. Cheers!

Lou and Cindy have been amazing during my time at the school. When I first came in I felt like I was in a desperate position looking for a new avenue of work and from my very first day, I knew I would love everything the Bartending Institute had to offer. If you want instructors who know exactly what they’re talking about and are there to push you to succeed, I highly recommend going here.

Lou and Cindy, thank you guys so much for everything.

An excellent bartending school!💞
I completed the training and was very satisfied. The instructors are true professionals who share not only theoretical knowledge but also valuable practical skills. The atmosphere during the classes was friendly and motivating, and I truly enjoyed every session.
I especially want to highlight the individual approach to each student and the opportunity to practice on real equipment. After the course, I feel confident behind the bar and ready to work. Thank you for the amazing experience and knowledge — you are awesome! 🤗

I recently graduated the school and and it was awesome! The instructors here really know their stuff and made learning super fun. The hands-on practice was the best part—it felt like being in a real bar. I walked away feeling confident and ready to mix drinks like a pro. Totally recommend it to anyone who wants to get into bartending or just learn some cool skills!
Lou and mister J will teach you everything and even more. They’ll give you an advices that no one else will give you. Cindy will be with you from day one and help you find your dream job.
So stop thinking and get your ass in here!

Fantastic!
Knowledge, skills, and there is a pressure, very intense, but much needed. They teach you everything about everything, plus what you are going to experience in a real bar: pressure, intensity, Manager/bartender one on one, timing, mixology, history, knowledge about everything related to the bar. This place gives you a license, plus teach you about the needed certificates to be able to legally work as a bartender.
Thank you to our teachers Mr Lou who was so hard on us and I appreciate that tough love, and Mr G for the knowledge, garnish lessons and beliefs.
And of course our staff director who hooks you up with the major bartending jobs and never stops, our sweet heart, Ms Cindy Benson.
Thank you guys for everything.
I never thought I could do this, but thanks to the dedicated staff of the school, I’m literally kicking arse as a bartender.
Recommend the school 1000% to EVERYONE!
Love you guys❤️❤️❤️

I had an amazing experience at this Bartending Institute! From day one, I learned the ins and outs of mixology, from the basics to how to handle high-pressure situations behind the bar. Lou, the instructor, definitely pushes you to be your best – he can be intense, but it's all part of the process to help you thrive in a fast-paced environment. After I graduated, Cindy went above and beyond to help me land a job. She really took the time to guide me through the process and set me up for success. Highly recommend this school if you're looking to get into bartending and want a solid foundation in both skill and real-world experience!
