Our San Antonio, Texas Bartending School:

The Professional Bartending School of San Antonio is a state approved school that has trained San Antonio’s best bartenders since 1997.  Our concept is to concentrate on offering the finest bartending education to students behind “real” bars with actual equipment from experienced bartenders. 

Our 2,000 square-foot facilities have 8 fully operational bar stations.  Our three licensed instructors, combined, have over 40 years experience in the industry.  The student to teacher ratio is approximately 3:1, to ensure the best personal attention to the students’ needs and educational experience.  Our program is designed to educate you with or without prior bartending experience.

After successfully completing our program, you will receive a certificate of mixology and lifetime job placement assistance.  Our school has placed graduates throughout San Antonio and the surrounding areas in great jobs.

Get a nightlife - be a bartender!

Have you ever looked around a San Antonio bar, curiously envying the happy bartenders having a great time while raking in gobs of money?  Did you wonder how they learned the skills necessary to pour drinks so quickly, remember all those recipes, and keep their cool all at the same time?  How did they get there?  Could I learn to do that?

Bartending in the San Antonio area can be a tough world to break into.  Corner bars with on-the-job training are few and far between.  Today’s customers are more educated and sophisticated than ever before.  The customers have come from all over the world to vacation in our great city, they know about wine, they enjoy the scene and they have become more demanding.  San Antonio customers are looking for a bartender who is as knowledgeable, as personable, and as demanding as they are.  In this more professional bartending environment… if you’re not fast, organized, and efficient you surely won’t last very long in San Antonio.

Our school has created bartending programs to answer the demand for professionally trained bartenders. We provide the bartending education, organizational skills and customer service training. We then follow up your training with a proven job placement assistance program.

Leadership Conference San Juan
May 19, 2009
Email to Friend

It"s that time again for our yearly Leadership Conference!  Again we will be going to San Juan, Puerto Rico!  PBSA schools meet twice a year as a group to keep up with current trends in the bartending world.  It is not uncommon to have speakers from the some of the largest companies in our industry.  Some of our past speakers have been from Jack Daniels, Guiness, Cabo Wabo tequila, Bacardi, just to name a few.  Pbsa schools are the only bartending schools in the country that have such extensive education for their owners and instructors. 

On a sour note, be careful of schools trying to convince you to take their programs by emailing you "letters of recommendation" from their students.  In the bartending school industry their is no gray area, only good schools and not so good schools.  To make sure you are getting what you pay for make sure you check out all schools in your area.  A reputable school shouldn't have to try to convince you to take their school, they should be able to stand on their own merit.  Checking out the textbooks available should give you a good indication.  Here"s to you....!

Beware of imitators!

Are you considering a career as a bartender?  Know this-in the bartending school world there are either really good schools or really bad schools, there is no gray area.  The shady schools try to feed off the reputable schools' good reputation.  They will even go so far as to claiming to teach the same thing or saying that they are us all together.  When choosing a school make sure you physically check out all schools in your area.  Don't take someone's word over the phone, be a smart shopper and see what your getting for your money.  Ask good questions-like how many owners has the school had in the past 10 years? Are they members of the Better Business Bureau? If not why?  Can you speak with former students about their program?  Look at their textbook(if there is one).  What condition is the school in?  Would you feel safe just attending?  Be a smart consumer in these tough times you want to make sure your getting your monies worth, not just throwing it away.
