Cleveland Bartending School

If you are interested in bartending, there really is no better option to help prepare you for working behind the bar.
Part of a national chain of bartending schools, Cleveland Bartending School is ironically located inside of a medical building. They have famous instructors who teach regularly there, including the bartender from the Barley House in Cleveland who was named the best bartender in Greater Cleveland by the Plain Dealer and its readers. They teach through repetition — that is, every student makes each drink over and over again until memorized. Best of all, you are simply guaranteed to land a job upon graduation. Bars, restaurants, and catering companies post job listings regularly, assuring that even the worst graduate can land a job.
The classroom is not a traditional classroom but rather a fully-​functional bar, complete with Top 40 music, a jukebox, and a disco ball (you know, because all bars are designed like this is still 1977). Compared to the other school I was looking at, this is far better. Classes are extremely flexible — you only have to have 40 hours of training in order to be certified.
My only qualm was the price. It was $ 795/​month, which is expensive even though the guy who gave me the tour assured me that I would be able to make that money back in two weeks. Meanwhile, the low-​quality place in North Canton I found on Craigslist was only $ 195; however, finding a job there is difficult because of how they teach prospective bartenders to pour drinks. So I guess it’s a matter of choice: Do you go for the top-​notch bartending school with the expensive tuition or the low-​quality bartending school with a very small tuition? If I had more money, I would definitely choose going here as opposed to the dirt-​cheap bartending school.
