American Bartenders School 40-Hour Deluxe Course Registration

American Bartenders School is the gold standard of bartending education—not just in New York City, but nationwide.

With over five decades of experience, we are the oldest, most established bartending school in the city. Our reputation isn’t built on hype—it’s built on results. We have trained and placed more graduates into real bartending jobs than any other school, period. From neighborhood bars to high-end venues, our alumni are working across the entire New York hospitality scene.

What sets us apart is simple: this is not a classroom—it’s a real-world training environment. Every student learns behind an actual bar, at real speed, with real expectations. You don’t just “learn drinks”—you learn how to work.

Our satisfaction rate reflects that. Students leave confident, capable, and job-ready—and employers know it. When they see American Bartenders School on a resume, it means something.

Because of our reputation and demand, we do not offer open enrollment. Every prospective student must go through a brief evaluation to ensure the program is the right fit. We also maintain a waitlist, and class availability fills quickly.

If you’re serious about becoming a bartender—and doing it the right way—the next step is to secure your spot.
