Our Columbus, Ohio Bartending School:
The Columbus campus of Professional Bartending Schools was established in 1978 and has remained in the same location for 30 years. The school owners live in Columbus and they take great pride in their school and the success of their graduates. We think it is in the student’s best interest when the owners live in the same city as their bartending school.
We have knowledge of the local food and beverage industry that is seldom matched by out-of-state owners. An out-of-state bartending school owner cannot possibly help graduates with local job placement because they can’t keep up with the local bars opening and closing, nor can they visit the bars and establish a personal relationship.
Our Columbus training facility boasts a fully equipped full-service bar, side service-bar, and mini-bar. Students are taught the art of mixology in a classroom designed to simulate a real bar environment. The campus consists of 1,400 square feet of classrooms and offices in a well-lit safe area with ample parking and is convenient to public transportation.
The Professional Bartending Institute is licensed by the Ohio State Board of Career Colleges and Schools and specializes in training people of all ages and backgrounds to learn the fun and profitable trade of bartending. The school has established an excellent reputation over the last 30 years by training the owners and managers of some of the finest bars in Columbus.
The campus prides itself on its low student to instructor ratio. This allows the Instructor to give each student plenty of one on one instruction, and any special help that may be needed. Only the best trainers are selected as Professional Bartending School Instructors.
The Professional Bartending Institute of Columbus takes great pride in the diverse backgrounds of their students and the success they have achieved in their bartending careers both part-time and full-time.
We suggest that before enrolling in any bartending school, that the prospective student take a personal school tour of the school and meet the staff. The school owners of the Professional Bartending Institute in Columbus work in the school every day. They are always there to help assist any student at any given moment. Remember that when getting an education, cheapest is seldom best!
