Enrolling in this bartending school has been the greatest experience and decision. It was truly the best choice I could have made, and it changed everything! Come see Sam and me at Divieto in Aventura Mall! Aj

I am so glad I took the bartending class at this school! I learned a lot that I didn't know before, and it has helped me immensely over the past few years while working behind the bar. It was definitely worth taking the class and I would recommend it to anyone thinking about becoming a bartender!
Jeeca Cabral
Very grateful for the course as if it wasn't as intense as it was, I would have been lost. Must have made 50+ drinks on my first night.
Daniel Tintle
Ever since attending this bartending school in 2015. I have been working as bartender ever since and currently bartending at Kuro Hard Rock Hollywood. Eight years later I am still being invited to educational travel seminars and work events with them. This is the most complete bartending school program you'll find, no doubt. Highly recommended! If you're in Hollywood, Fl stop by and visit her at Hard Rock.
Chutimon Mavintorn
Thanks for giving me the strongest foundation one could ask for. Isaac teaches a top-notch, high-level curriculum that prepares you correctly to enter hospitality business. I've been bartending ever since graduating. Much more than a bartending school, 100% on point! Thanks 786!
Oscar Santana
I learned so much from this course, I would never be where I am today without it! Thank you, Isaac, for the amazing opportunities.
Sean Zek
I attended the bartending school, and I had a fantastic experience. Learned a lot from Isaac and he was always there to help students. He was very knowledgeable, and the course was not only very informative but lots of fun. Got to have a lot of hands on experiencing during the course which helped me feel more comfortable when I started Bartending. Would definitely recommend to anyone in search of a Bartending course. Attended the Hollywood, Fl campus.
Liza Monteagut
Seriously the best bartending school if you're looking to get into bartending. Highly recommended!
Yesenia Ponce
What a great learning experience. Isaac is an extremely knowledgeable teacher. From an extensive list of drinks, all the way to the history of the liquors, how they are made, where the most popular drinks originated from, making the drinks, learning the dos and do nots when working, this class is definitely one that I would highly recommend. I went in from knowing absolutely nothing to now knowing information that even bartenders that I know are not aware of. I will definitely be back for more courses.
Erick Zamora
I have spent the past two months working as a bartender in NYC! I work for Al Pastor, a 17th floor rooftop bar right outside Grand Central that specializes in tequila and mezcal cocktails. It's been an absolutely great time (and the money is not so bad either) -- and I am so grateful for everything we learned at 786. Thanks for being a great teacher!
Shreeya Singh
If your serious about becoming a bartender, don't think about it! You'd be lucky to have Isaac as your mentor. You won't find a better program at any bartending school than you will at 786!
Sarah Niedzwiecki
This course has been an awesome bartending experience. Would recommend to everyone!! You want to learn how to bartend, contact Isaac!
Estella Valle
I signed up for this course when I first moved down here. Best decision ever! I got a great bartending gig right out of school! Isaac was fun and made the class exciting. I would recommend 786-bartend all day every day!
Billi Tomlinson
Amazing class! Learned more than I thought I would! The instructor, Isaac, teaches you by the book but also real life scenarios and tips
Camilla Cincota
The course really prepared me! If not for it, I would have never even passed the interview. I just started, and I know more than many bartenders in Miami. Thank you!

"Working as a bartender has taken me on an incredible journey—from climbing the corporate ladder as a bar manager at Topgolf in Miami Gardens to bartending in the Virgin Islands and now working at a great local spot, Patches Pub in Panama City Beach. It’s amazing how this industry allows you to pick up and go, finding work almost anywhere. Bartending truly is one of the easiest and most rewarding careers to relocate with!"

"I came to Miami for vacation 10 years ago, excited to explore new cocktails after turning 21. After trying various bartending schools, I found 786 Bartending and immediately felt it was the right fit. Even though I initially failed my exam, I was determined to learn from them. Thanks to my mentor, Isaac, and the solid foundation I received, I am now bartending at one of the top 5-star resorts in the USA at Il Mulino in Acqualina. I will always appreciate Isaac and 786 Bartending School for launching my amazing career!"
