I had a great experience at Columbus Bartending School! Sherry is an excellent instructor who makes learning both fun and informative. I came into the two-week program with virtually no knowledge of alcohol or bartending, and I learned so much in such a short time. I now feel confident and prepared to start applying for bartending positions. I highly recommend this program to anyone interested in getting into bartending!

Course was chill and fun. Got to learn and practice how to make lots of drinks and get a general knowledge of being behind the bar. Would recommend the one-week accelerated course, it goes by quickly.

I attended this class, and it was such a fun and rewarding learning experience. I learned so much about bartending and am now certified! The day after earning my certification, I had the opportunity to participate in an event with the Cincinnati Zoo alongside other bartenders, which was an amazing experience. If you're thinking about taking a bartending class, I definitely recommend this school!

I had an amazing experience at Columbus Bartending School, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor than Sherry. She made every class fun, engaging, and easy to understand, no matter your experience level. Sherry was patient, encouraging, and always took the time to make sure everyone felt confident behind the bar. You can tell she truly cares about her students and wants everyone to succeed. I learned so much in a short amount of time, and I left feeling prepared and excited to start bartending. The hands-on training and positive atmosphere made the experience even better. I highly recommend Columbus Bartending School to anyone thinking about becoming a bartender—it was a 10 out of 10 experience!
