Bartenders are

innovators.

There is a wealth of information available in the bar world. Countless programs and educators in the field every day focus on the nuances of different spirits and production as well as beautiful cocktails that could be prepared. 

We found that there was a lack of education focusing on the practical side of the industry. How do these up-and-coming bartenders and emerging mixologists learn the nuances of making cocktails? Where do new bar and restaurant owners learn the systems needed to run a successful business?

Bar Methods is a technique-driven cocktail education course that focuses on the skills needed to fortify a career in the hospitality industry. Our program goes beyond the "how" to perform techniques but also why you are using them and what they contribute. This allows our you to gain a full understanding of the skills and their practical applications going forward. 

Maintaining an intimate hands-on environment, we insure that you have the opportunity to work closely with our experienced professionals. This personal attention allows you to work on the nuances of different techniques and really understand them. 

Most importantly we want to make sure this information stays accessible. We understand that it is difficult to take time away from work. Not only is it missed money, but also, the job doesn't stop. Hosting our larger public courses during the slower weeks of the year, and on the off days for bartenders allows us to respect the time that people are committing to us. Our private client work is set around your schedule to make sure we can accommodate you as best as possible. We want to make sure our program stays affordable so as many people as possible have access to it. 

Keeping these considerations has allowed us to gain clients and work with bartenders from many different markets. This diversity is paramount in continuing to grow a global community of bartenders. The interaction and exchange of ideas between people from different areas and walks of life are what keep the industry progressing and breed new and different ideas and techniques.
