Bartending Course
Graduates leave our doors with knowledge of how to make over 100 popular and trendy drinks under their belts.
Have you ever heard of a traditional Manhattan? Did you know it's supposed to get a muddled cherry in it? You might not even know what "muddling" is. But that's okay because those are things we will teach you in our classes.
From kamikaze shooters to desert dry martinis, our curriculum teaches it all. We even give our students lessons on when guests are too intoxicated to be served and how to pour the perfect beer. Whether you're starting from scratch or you already work in the alcohol industry, classes at The Cleveland Bartending School will get you acquainted with the basics of bartending which can help you transition into a confident and successful bartender earning tips of $100 or more a night.
There isn't just one kind of bartender. You could work as a barmaid in neighborhood pub or get a job earning tips for a catering service. Some of our grads or get jobs at a local nightclub and others work in busy restaurants. The possibilities are endless. It doesn't matter if economic times are good or bad, people are always going to be at the bar drinking.
