New Orleans' Premier Bartending School
Trained for the City That Invented the Cocktail
New Orleans is unlike any other bar market in America. Bourbon Street alone employs thousands of bartenders serving millions of visitors every year. But the real money is in the craft — the French Quarter's historic hotel bars, the Magazine Street neighborhood spots, and the upscale Warehouse District venues where serious cocktail culture thrives.
Our program covers the classics New Orleans is famous for — Sazerac, Ramos Gin Fizz, Vieux Carré — alongside 125+ modern cocktails, high-volume speed service for festival crowds, and Louisiana LACT certification. Whether you're targeting Bourbon Street or a Frenchmen Street jazz bar, we prepare you for it all.
