I really didn't know what to expect when I decided to go to bartending school. What I did know was that I needed a job fast and what you see on the Internet and what you see in person when you go to visit some of the schools out there is very different.
American Bartenders School was the one that I chose to pay for because it made the most sense and everything was available to be seen when I visited. I didn't feel pushed to make an immediate decision and they even gave me a bunch of information to take home. So many places I checked out were so suspicious and reluctant to give me a brochure.
Why? I still can't figure it out. One place I went, you couldn't even tell it was a school and I basically had to do cartwheels around the lobby to be noticed! The classroom at American Bartenders is not hidden from view, it was filled with about 25 students working and none of the other schools that I visited looked like that. The front lobby area had 10 or more people waiting to be seen for enrollment.On the Net, it seemed that American Bartenders received the most impressive media attention of any bartender school and had a high ranking for reliability.
I visited other schools that were obviously a rip off. What do you expect from a school that tries to suck you into the program sight unseen for such a low dollar amount? And by phone? Give me a break!
I may not have been born in the U.S., but that doesn't mean that I am stupid or should be treated differently than others. I am very aware of a hustle when I see one! I have a PHD in my country, but chose to live in the U.S. with the rest of my family.
After all the research, I was elated when I finished American Bartenders School and got a job in an Italian Restaurant in Little Italy. The restaurant is busy and turns tables every 35 minutes or so. I made $560 my first week on the job. I was thrilled! I promised I would write a review for them at the school because the staff was so nice to me and I feel I owe them compliments.
The school did everything that they said they would do. It took a few weeks for me to get a job, but I did not dedicate as much time to looking as I should have. I am studying to be a medical doctor at NYU and it is a tight schedule.
For me, no regrets.
I guess you get what you pay for.
Thanks to my Instructors and a wish you all the best.
Pros: On-point Instructors, proactive job placement.
Cons: None so far.

After researching other schools I found that NYREI was the most convenient and flexible and I was able to make my own schedule. The classes were taught by very knowledgable teachers. Concerned with finding a job it was a relief that everyday different brokers came in and I was able to talk with them. The school was great and everyone that works there was knowlegable and helpful.

I have sent over 10 employees to Sobelsohn and all passed the state exam the first time. I still do not get it. Why go to anyone else? And the School charges the lowest tuition in New York.

Career Center provided wonderful instruction on Microsoft PowerPoint. I was up and running creating slide show presentations after the first day. The instructor was very knowledgeable and kept in sync with how each student was progressing. This class ramped up my learning curve on the program, saving tons of time in the long run. Well worth it!!
Pros: Location very accessable
