Atlanta Bartending School

Welcome

Welcome to Atlanta Professional Bartending School!

Thank you for visiting Atlanta Professional Bartending School website.

If you’re considering a career in bartending or looking for a flexible way to earn additional income, you’ve come to the right place.

Since 1978, we have trained thousands of successful bartenders and helped graduates launch rewarding careers throughout the Atlanta hospitality industry. With decades of experience and strong relationships with local bars, restaurants, hotels, resorts, and entertainment venues, we’re committed to helping our students succeed both in the classroom and after graduation.

Unlike online courses, bartending is a hands-on profession that is best learned behind a real bar. That’s why every student trains in our fully equipped bar classroom under the guidance of experienced professional bartenders.

You’ll watch instructor demonstrations, then immediately practice preparing drinks yourself while receiving one-on-one coaching throughout the program.

Complete Mixology Program

Our comprehensive Bartending & Mixology Program includes Mixology, Beer Training, and Wine Training for one tuition rate, giving you the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to succeed in today’s hospitality industry.

Unlike online courses, our students train behind a real bar in a professional classroom environment. Each lesson begins with live demonstrations from experienced instructors who explain proper techniques, drink preparation, speed, accuracy, and customer service. Students then spend the majority of each class practicing behind the bar while receiving personalized instruction and feedback.

Our instructional staff brings over 30 years of combined bartending and hospitality management experience to the classroom. You’ll learn far more than drink recipes—you’ll gain the real-world skills, industry techniques, and professional confidence that employers value.

Whether your goal is to work at a restaurant, hotel, sports bar, upscale cocktail lounge, private event venue, or entertainment destination, our hands-on training is designed to prepare you for success from day one.

If you’re ready to start an exciting new career or earn extra income through bartending, we invite you to visit our campus, tour our training facility, meet our instructors, and discover why Atlanta Professional Bartending School has been one of Georgia’s most trusted bartending schools since 1978.
