The Bartending Training Institute was a wonderful experience. Lou is a great teacher, but be ready to leave your ego at the door. Cindy was very helpful in letting students know about job opportunities and getting us gigs. They got me a gig at a private party right when I graduated, so the degree is already paying off. If you want to learn how to be a mixologist and have fun, I definitely recommend the Bartending Training Institute.

It was such a fun experience to be taking my bartending course here! I learn a lot thanks to Lou and of course got certified as a bartender, thanks to Cindy for all the help as well! I was working full time, with two kids, attending CSUN, and a soccer mom if I have time to accomplish it so can you!

Cindy, Lou, and Mr. G offer amazing, informative courses that really prepare you for bartending work. The setup of the classes is intuitive and hands-on. They’re very quick to help you get interviews. The classes are flexible and allow you to learn at a great pace! Would highly recommend if you want to feel well-equipped to be a bartender.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience at Bartenders Training Institute. From day one, the energy, professionalism, and real-world knowledge made it clear I was in the right place. Lou brought charisma and deep industry experience to every lesson—he made the classroom feel like a real bar and made sure we left with real confidence. Mr. G. kept things sharp and structured, always pushing us to focus on the details and stay disciplined behind the bar. Together, they struck a perfect balance between skill-building and fun. And Cindy, the glue behind it all, was welcoming, organized, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Her support made the whole experience smooth from start to finish. If you're serious about learning how to bartend—from technique and service to speed and confidence—this is the place to be. I’m walking away ready to hit the ground running, and I owe it all to this team. Best of luck, my fellow future mixologists.

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!!

SIX STARS! I had a blast attending this school. If you’re reading this, QUIT PROCRASTINATING! Lou is the best Mixologist that has ever lived and he will challenge, teach, and make you the best at this craft. Cindy is an Angel who will help facilitate your instruction and as a team, they are both there every step of the way. I was able to accept a job right after graduating thanks ONLY to this school’s help and I couldn’t be more than grateful. They have been in the business for decades and have the accolades to prove it. Show up, put in the work, and you won’t regret it. This school is top notch and will make you a fantastic bartender able to tackle any job in your future. I am extremely grateful to have been able to cross paths with this life changing instruction. Only question is, what are you waiting for? -Austyn Elliott

This place is amazing! You learn over 200 different cocktail recipes and the practical knowledge on how you prepare and serve every one of them. Louis is an old school, New York bartender with the experience and personality to deliver lessons you will never forget. They can also set you up for state and TIPS certification as well as job opportunities once you graduate. If you're looking to start a new career, this is going to be your first stop. I highly recommend it to everyone.
