Orange Bartending School

A very down to earth place. I felt accepted, and supported to go at my pace. I was constantly encouraged and felt like I developed real friendships with teachers and students. Very fun atmosphere. Helped bring me out of my shell, and I’m very appreciative to have found this place to help create more confidence in me again.

They hardly answer the phone, we tried for weeks, finally got through and requested bartenders to hire for our private events. They sent us three of their 'top graduate's." One was a rude alcoholic who thought the bar was a personal drinking fountain, the second would show late or not show at all and the third was stealing from the register. Called back everytime asking for better until they stopped answering again. Needless to say the staff and the graduates are not professional, they are lazy, rude thieves. Never calling again. I wouldn't recommend training here or using them for anything, as there are far better schools with much better and respected programs in Orange County to choose from.

I decided to join National Bartending School to earn a certificate in bar tending as a second career. I love people and the environment. Danny Aguino is my instructor at the school of Orange. He gave me some good tips on how to memorize some of the difficult drinks. He is encouraging and cares about his students and our success. I since have passed the course and Danny helps me land events so that I can get the experience I will need to be hired at a permanent establishment. Thank you Danny.

This school is the best bartending school by far. There is no place like OC bartending school. Not only did I graduate this class in 2 months thanks to Christie and Danny the two awesome instructors who helped me strengthen my knowledge with advice and techniques, but I also gained many friends. This school is not a regular school, we’re all a family. The vibes are amazing because everyone is so friendly to one another and always willing to help each other learn and grow in this area. I had a great experience here, I now work at a bar! I learned everything I need to know about being a bartender, thanks to Danny and Christie. The place is clean, organized, and represents an actual bar. I have made some life long friends thanks to this school.

Danny, the owner is awesome! He's super friendly, extremely knowledgable, and genuinely cares about each student. Not only does he make learning fun, he creates a safe environment as well. He answers any and every question and helps students succeed in their bartending career. He gives greats tips and tricks too. He even helps you with your resume and gives you tons of resources of places hiring. I definitely recommend Orange Bartending School!

Great experience. I wanted to take this class to strengthen my skills behind a bar and it did just that. The environment of the classroom was sweet. I got to practice making drinks repeatedly and learning a lot of new shooters. I'm excited to take what I've learned and use it at my workplace. I definitely recommend this place for future bartenders that are looking to learn. our instructor taught me a lot and he's very knowledgeable behind a bar. You have to be able to memorize drinks and work in a loud setting. Awesome practice for Bartending in bars and nightclubs.

I am wrapping up my last day here today and I couldn't be happier with the investment I made! Our instructor is a true pro and the knowledge he's passing down to us is beyond valuable. The guy knows his stuff, & I really appreciate the flow he keeps the class in. He's really down to earth and he does a good job at making people feel comfortable with him and each other. The school is awesome. I feel like the classroom simulates an actual bar very well and helps you visualize what it would really be like. Again, you will not regret the investment here. With some hard work, and dedication to studying, you will do great. Highly recommend!

This is a great class for anyone wanting to get trained and certified. Process is pretty smooth and the evening class times were perfect because I work full time. The instructors are a little less hands on than I expected - you spend a lot of time practicing and don't get a lot of feedback unless you ask for it. But overall it's great because you really get your drinks and techniques down. Even with very little bartending or cocktail knowledge, I felt like I left with a good handle on everything I need to get started!

This is such an impressive school!! I am so happy I decided to go with them! They are so welcoming and supportive from the beginning. I was really scared because I have no bartending experience. The staff made me feel very comfortable and they were very supportive and encouraging. Between the great students and staff, I felt like they were family by the end. Ashley, Ryan, and Andres were so awesome and fun! The school was always full of really cool and happy people! I needed to learn quick, so I was able to get through the lessons with the help of the instructors guiding me. Then when I was ready for job placement, the owner Nate personally helped me out. He took a ton of time with me, explained everything I needed to know. Within 2 weeks, I was offered a position close to home! This school has changed my future and i can't say thank you enough! Just bummed I didn't find this place sooner!!

The school and staff is amazing, throughout the entire lessons given to me, they made sure I understood everything they’ve ever taught me. I can now say that I have major confidence behind a bar and in the service industry. Also, I had so much fun meeting the new students and helping them as the instructors helped me. The instructors are what make this school worth attending.
