Recent reviews of Beginners' Bartender Course
- 5/5 from Gary Williams, attended Aug 2026: This was a very enjoyable course in a lovely restaurant/bar. I had no experience of bar work prior to attending and am so much more confident now. I got to make lots of cocktails & gained so much experience of working in a bar. Everyone who works there are so friendly & helpful. Highly recommend.
