Best Bartending School Directory

Welcome to the Best Bartending School web site. Our web site is dedicated to providing accurate information on quality bartending schools across the United States and Canada.

The owners of the Best Bartending School web site have years of experience as bartenders, bar managers and licensed bartending school operators. You may see pictures of news stories that major television networks have done on our schools and staff on our “as seen on TV” page.

We take great pride in our bartending schools and the success we have had training and placing bartenders nationwide over the last 28 years.

Over this time, we have referred graduates of our schools to quality bartending schools in other cities where we do not have a campus. These schools have helped our graduates with professionalism and enthusiasm. In turn, we have agreed to place their graduates when they relocate to one of our cities.

Over 100 Quality Bartending Schools & Casino Gaming Schools

This collection of over 100 schools is licensed by the appropriate boards of education in the state they operate in. Each school teaches bartending as a profession and we don't just run mass quantities of students through our doors.

We don't just list schools at random. All of the schools have been interviewed by phone or in person to verify the accuracy of the information. We are confident we have the most up-to-date list of quality schools available.

We all try very hard to accommodate our students varied schedules and different needs. Our pledge is to work with any student until they graduate, if they will just come to the school. If the student comes to class, we will do anything within our power to help them graduate.

Most students just take the normal schedule and graduate on time. The few that have demanding schedules or just need a little extra help will find that we will do whatever it takes to help them start their new bartending career.

Look for your school in the state of your choice at the main menu on the left of our site. If you go to a state and there is no school listed, it is because we are either not familiar with that particular school, or we are aware of them and cannot recommend that specific bartending school.
