User Reviews of Authentic Bartending School

the only real bartending school

they are the best because they take you out to real NY bars to work at while you are still a student. Nobody else offers that. Their job office is very impressive, their price is the cheapest, and I felt they...

I agree. The other schools were full of lies. AUTHENTIC IS LEGIT

training at other schools is "like training behind a real bar", but training at Authentic IS training behind real bars. And Authentic is fully licensed by NY state. And they have real job placement(I'm working...

trained me out in the field!

ONLY school where part of the training takes place at real bars. You work next to your instructor, waiting on real customers, and that's something that no amount of classroom hours can compare with

So much more than I expected

I've dreamed of learing to bartend ever since I was 16. I FINALLY had the time to go 2 summers ago. I searched around, and asked around, and visted different bartending schools here in NYC, and decided to go...

Got pulled out of class today to go right up to Nacho Mamas to start working! They have the best job placement at Authentic, and this proves it. And I'm a member of Authentic for life now, with free refresher...

the one that the bar business people reccommend

I came to Authentic after dropping the different schools names at bars and clubs. All the managers and bartenders had great things to say about them, not so with the other schools. A lot of the bartenders were...

best choice available

I went to all the NY schools to compare, and I called the state education department. If you do the same and compare how you are treated when you visit, and look at the sample classes and compare the job...

thanks, Authentic

got hired my first day out, at 86th st. billiards, and all the training was right on the money. You did a great job with my resume and gave me confidence. I will tell everyone how much I liked the class.

THIS is the best bartending schoool in New York

Excellent!

Bar school is a competitive industry; there are a lot of bar schools, and they make a lot of claims. This is the best deal I found. Totally legit. And they have some of the best instructers I have ever had for...

the only area school worth attending

We only hire from Authentic. Their graduates are reliable, professional, well-skilled, and well-prepared. I tear up the resumes from the other schools; their students generally can't pour a glass of water....

a wonderful school, and I looked at them all

Authentic was so much fun! I wanted a Sunday-only class, and they were the only school that had one. And they were so nice, and open about everything, when I checked them out for the first time. It's like they...

I went to some other schools to compare and went with Authentic because their price was the best(by a few hundred dollars, a lot when you are out of work)and their people were the most polite and helpful. I...

I loved Authentic. Training in a classroom is one thing, but getting to practice at real area bars really gave me confidence. They wrote my bar resume for me, and sat down with me one-on-one to map out my job...

Awesome!! You get to practice what you learn in busy bars before you even graduate

I looked at all the schools and I'm happy I picked here because you get real experience at different bars while you are in the program. They have been around for the longest and they cost the least. And their...

BEST bar school in New York, don't believe these fools

These people who wrote these reviews don't know what they're talking about, and you can tell by the way they write. I went here and my girlfriend went to American(895 bucks worth of garbage)and HER girlfriend...
