About the Professional Bartending Schools of America

Professional Bartending Schools of America is a nationwide group of individually owned and operated, state-licensed bartending schools in the USA.

We don't believe that being a professional bartender is a job that can be learned by video, online program or at home sitting on your couch! We work hard to fully prepare our graduates for a career in mixology, whether it be at a nice local neighborhood bar or the fanciest hotel or nightclub in town. Their success is our company's reputation!

Professional Bartending Schools of America now includes 36 state-licensed bartending schools nationwide. Our 36 bartender schools trained over 10,000 bartenders in 2009. We view a bartender's job as a professional career and only offer hands-on training behind a fully-equipped bar in a permanent school facility. We offer one, two and five week bartending courses during the day, evening and weekends. PBSA offers our graduates local, nationwide and online job placement assistance. Our classes include Anheuser-Busch and Guinness beer training, along with responsible alcohol certification.

While going to college, all three of my children attended your bartending school (one several years ago, and two this past spring). All three times I have been extremely impressed with the school in every way. From the professionalism of the staff, the flexibility of the class schedule, the thoroughness of the material and the affordability of the course to the superior job placement service, this is a first-class instructional experience. Even the website is helpful; the Bartender Challenge recipe flashcard section is a great idea. I highly recommend the school--it is worth every penny.

As an event planner that produces events for the Roth Vodka Estates, Pernod Richard and Remy Martin, I can easily say that your bartenders were by far the best I have worked with. They were extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. I will 100% recommend the services to all my clients and I will use the New York Bartending School in future events.

Professional Bartending Schools of America Review | 877-358-4171 | I chose SFSOB over all the other schools in town!

Thanks SFSOB!
I am a graduate from July this year and I just wanted to say that I am now a
bartender at the hottest Karaoke bar in Waikiki Hawaii called Wang Chung's! 
I owe my skills to the school. Prior to attending the training, I had very little knowledge in bartending. I chose SFSOB over all the other schools in town for its high ratings by reviewers and for its excellent reputations. When I asked some of my classmates back then why they chose to attend the school, they all agreed that it was the best in town for its training and job resources.
Shortly after I graduated, I found a part time job bartending for an event. I was so excited because it was my very first bartending job and I totally loved it ... not to mention the huge tips I received. 
At first, some of my friends in the industry were trying to discourage me from wasting my time and money in receiving training because they insisted that I could learn it all on the job. Well, My goal is to become a professional bartender and I knew that bar backing until I learned the ropes would take a long time. Plus picking up bad habits from other bartenders was not in my agenda. I wanted to learn this trade properly from actual professional bartenders/instructors. 
Now as a bartender, I am so proud that I attended training because when I am out to bars and clubs, I see so many bartenders with poor skills in pouring and serving. I did not want to be that one barback who stood out with third class skills. 
Graduating from SFSOB provided me with an excellent reference experience. It is the most prestigious school of bartending in San Francisco and I'm very proud to have completed the program. 
Now I get to enjoy working with people, networking, hosting and singing...while bartending! How awesome is that? Plus, our bar (Wang Chung' Karaoke Bar) has the highest ratings on Yelp and Google for its quality, customer satisfaction and enjoyment in Hawaii. I'm very proud of this because although our location is tucked away in an alley, people find us online or through word of mouth no matter what and it's packed every night! Hope to someday see you all again. Come down for a vacation and stop by and ask for me... I'll make you guys my famous 'to die 4- Keylime Pie' cocktail.
