Choose Between Two Options

  • $149 for enrollment in a 40-hour bartending course (a $352.47 value)
  • $179 for enrollment in a 40-hour bartending course and a professional mixing kit (a $412.47 value)

During each 40-hour course, instructors take students through mixing basics, time-management and speed skills, and the history behind each drink. Pupils gather behind a fully functional bar in Brew, where professional bartenders guide them as they practice bar setup, pouring and blending, handling multiple cocktails at once, and tasting newborn libations to make sure they have the right amount of wheat germ. Teachers supplement extensive hands-on experience with a handbook and video demonstration on 50-inch flat-screen TVs and a 100-inch projector. Classes are kept small, allowing bar protégés to hone skills with individual attention. Upon finishing the class, students will receive a certificate of completion, and bartending coaches also offer free job placement, helping to connect students with various bars and lounges affiliated with the school's founders. Classes are held either 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday–Friday for one week, or 6 p.m.–10 p.m. Monday–Friday for two weeks.

123 Bartending

After years of developing their own drink-slinging skills as professional bartenders and club owners, 123 Bartending's founders, led by Bryan Caracioli, decided to pass on their knowledge through intensive bartending courses and a proprietary student handbook. The school stands adjacent to a fully functional brewpub, where professional barkeeps coach students to juggle their tools, glassware, and requests for Billy Joel songs behind a granite bar, lowly lit from miniature chandeliers and surrounded by rustic, red-toned interiors. Curriculum involves both hands-on practice and theory, spanning the history behind drinks' monikers, as well as the chemistry of traditional cocktails and modern party shots. 50-inch flat-screen TVs and a 100-inch projector dominate walls with video demonstrations and scotch distillers' home movies. A roster of bars, lounges, and clubs—all owned by or partnered with 123 Bartending's adept captains—provide job placement for the school's alumni.

The Groupon Guide to: Still-Life Painting

Still-life paintings are the easiest kind to do because everything you’re painting is already dead, thus holding still. Try out these subjects for your next still life:

  • A skull being used as a vase
  • A bunch of mangoes in a bowl but one of them is purple
  • Two teakettles. They don’t have faces, but do they somehow seem to be … talking to each other?
  • Onions
  • The bust of an ancient emperor sitting on a little girl’s nightstand
  • A wooden table strewn with a bunch of dead quail
  • A harpsichord gathering dust in a corner while a shiny electric guitar sits, well cared for, in a stand
  • A man’s hat, pipe, and book all sit on his chair, which has the imprint of his body, but there is no sign of the man.
  • A bunch of absurdly wet fruit

What can you do with a bunch of absurdly wet fruit?
