Bartending & Mixology in Nashville

Comprehensive hands-on training tailored to the Nashville bar market — craft cocktails, professional bartending duties, alcohol awareness, and customer service.

The Program

Professional Mixology Training

Our Mixology program is designed to provide comprehensive training in all areas of professional bartending. Students learn to mix popular and classic drinks and gain working knowledge of bartending duties, alcohol awareness, and customer service — all hands-on behind a real bar.

Graduates learn to prepare 125 traditional drinks plus the latest trending cocktails. In addition, students earn beer, wine, and responsible alcohol service certifications. The school uses the Anheuser-Busch "Beertender" training program and the Guinness Beer "Perfect Pour" program.

Nashville has undergone a staggering transformation. Lower Broadway's honky tonks pour drinks around the clock for millions of visitors. The Gulch and Midtown have developed a serious craft cocktail scene. And the influx of corporate relocations — Oracle, Amazon, AllianceBernstein — has created a new class of high-end hospitality venues.
