At Bartending School Coast to Coast, students do more than imagine what it's like to work at a bar. They get hands-on experience in a classroom, which was formerly a bar, that's set up like a bar and interactive instruction from experienced mixologists. During classes, fledgling bartenders learn drink recipes, proper usage of bar equipment, and customer-service techniques. They leave with a certificate and job-placement assistance that will help them land gigs at upscale bars, neighborhood hot spots, or private parties thrown for their cat's birthday.
