Hi , My Name is Will Dodd and I am writing this note to thank the guys at Texas School of Bartenders . The reason for this note is I enrolled at Big Mikes Bartending school back in Early November . Well That guy took my money and then closed down . His Phone # is disconnected and the doors are locked . I did everything in my power to get justice . I came over to the Texas School of Bartenders to see if they could assist me . Assist me they did . I am a student at Texas School of Bartenders Currently and they are giving me the class for free because I got RIPPED off . These guys are honorable , nice and have been around since 1988 . Jim Shearer has already found me some work and I am very excited after having a very bad experience . If you are looking at getting trained in Austin then go to the very best school around . 20 years is a long time in business so they are doing things right .

I never do this kind of thing but I have to say Joe Bartender does not know what he is talking about . The Boyz at TSOB know what they are doing forward and backwards . I went to the Austin location 2 years ago and trained under Jim Shearer . I am the General Manager at The Steven F. Austin Hotel and would have NEVER been in the position without the guidance of Mr. Shearer . I will always be thankful to Texas School of Bartenders . If you want and great experience go see these guys . You will not be sorry . Come see me sometime . Walter .

This class is 2 weeks long, 4 hours per day, one of which is TABC certification. You can do evenings or mornings which is nice for people who need one or the other...they're flexible, too, so talk to them about scheduling if you need to. The teachers are experienced and the fake alcohol does as well as it can possibly do compared to the real thing...it's hard to learn to layer drinks with it but you do learn how. Kevin was a really good instructor. He knew his stuff and he was very patient. He is really interested in the art of mixology and you will do well to get him talking about it. He was a pleasure to learn from. Make sure he breathes fire for you...he'll teach you how if you want. Be careful! Malibu is a fun guy and has a lot of good stories about bartending. This is a bar setting so don't come around if you are easily offended. Malibu's forte is making drinks very quickly. I didn't see Jim, the owner, much because I had the evening classes but the contact I did have with him showed he was fair and wants to do right by the students...he will expect you to do what you say you will do in return but that isn't much to ask at all. I did learn a lot...wish there had been fewer students but I got the impression that my classes were a little heavier than normal. One thing I suggest, during the time you are taking class or after, is go get some real alcohol (I suggest Specs) and spouts, glasses and a shaker...some mixers...and start making real ones. Look through your book and see which ones sound good...then go home and make them...use your friends are guinea pigs...they won't mind! Also, study, study, study and practice practice practice! Find ways to memorize your drinks...and don't cheat on tests! You won't be doing yourself any favors! Pros: flexible schedule, experienced instructors Cons: too many students at once

I just graduated from Texas School of Bartenders-Austin on August 15th . My friends told me I should just Barback to get my training . Oh , How wrong they were . Malibu was my instructor and Kevin Tower was my Flair instructor . Both of these guys gave me the knowledge and confidence to GO GET A JOB :) . I am currently bar tending at Lucky Lounge and Light Bar . I went to work the day after I left the school . I Had the pleasure of meeting Jim Shearer the owner . He is so cool . He said that he started the school back in 1988 . Great School , Great Owners , Great Instructors and Great Job Placement !
