The week long bartending course here is great. I learned how to make the most important / common cocktails but also steps of service, how to operate behind a bar, and different techniques on crafting cocktails. Highly recommend this class to anyone trying to become a bartender!

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Call 617-482-1999 or text 617-719-9999 — you’ll speak with an instructor, not a salesperson.
Experience
Do I need experience?
Not a drop. Most of our 60,000 graduates walked in never having made a cocktail. What you need isn’t experience — it’s the drive to learn. We build the confidence from there.

Attendance
What if I miss a class?
Life happens. Make it up at no cost, or attend one of our unlimited refresher classes. You can even return a year after graduating to sharpen your skills. Your progress doesn’t expire here.

Certification
Is TiPS Certification included?
TiPS is an optional add-on at $75 per person — commonly required by venues, cities, and insurers. We strongly recommend it. Most Boston employers expect it and it gives you one more reason to walk through that door with confidence.

Policy
What is your refund policy?
No refunds for bartending classes already attended. If something comes up, transfer to a future course at no additional charge. We want you to finish — and we’ll work with you to make sure you do.

Age Requirement
How old do I need to be?
18 or older — which is also the minimum age to bartend in most states. If you’re 18 and ready to build a career behind the bar in Boston, we’re ready for you.

Tuition
Are there any hidden charges?
None. Your bartending course tuition covers all course materials and supplies. No surprise fees, no upsells, no fine print. Just one straightforward investment in a career that can pay for itself on your very first shift.
