Sign up for a mixology class today!
The Columbia School of Mixology has been training bartenders since 1965 and in that time our graduates have gone on to find great success in every level of the business. From bars to clubs to private staffing and catering, you can be sure that a Columbia School of Mixology graduate has worked there.
We are also one of the few bartending schools in New York to teach you using real alcohol. We believe that learning to make good drinks with flavored water, the common practice at other bartending schools, is like learning to cook with fake food–it is just not the same! Great bartenders do not simply memorize ingredients, they know what flavors mix well together. We will teach you the most popular new and classic drinks and also give you a chance to develop your own palate, providing you are 21 of course.
Even though we teach using real alcohol, we still provide instruction for a comprehensive price of only $250. Other schools charge upwards of $800 dollars to simply get you started bartending. We give you all the skills you need at a fraction of the price.
Our teachers are also all graduates of our own program. They have gone through the test, done the drink mixing, and bartended in bars from New York City to New Zealand and Australia. Additionally, all of our teachers are have been TIPS certified, giving them expertise on safely working with alcohol–knowledge that they will pass along to you!
Most importantly, our classes are incredibly fun. Whether you are serious about bartending, are sick of throwing back Screwdrivers at your friends house party, or are simply looking for something fun to do before a Friday night out, our classes are perfect. We teach you all the basics and make sure you have a good time doing it.
