Intro Level Training Bar
“This school is set up better than other schools I visited. It gives you a real taste of what being a bartender is all about.”
Julie C.
Our hands-on, real world training facility allows you to practice and perfect your skills on new and up-to-date equipment, all built within a real bar atmosphere just like today's most popular clubs, pubs, bars and restaurants.
Designed with the student in mind, we've built Toronto's only double-sided, fully functional bar to train you in any setting whether it be club, pub, lounge, sports bar or restaurant. Complete with music and adjustable lighting, this bar features all of what you would see in the real world and more.
Solely used for our Intro to Bartending & Mixology Certification program, there is a maximum of only 20 students allowed in each class as each student has their own bar to train on. This training bar is fully equipped to train you on all three drink types, Cocktails, Wine and Beer, which you'll be required to serve on a shift by shift basis.
Cocktail Training
Cocktails make up approximately 30% of what's served in most establishments and require the most amount of training. Unlike serving wine or beer, cocktails can have many steps to preparing and serving them correctly. That's why we've setup this training bar with all the equipment required to make Martinis, Shooters, Blended and Specialty Cocktails, Hot Drinks and more. The equipment includes pop guns, ice machines, fully stocked bars, bar tools, assorted glassware and much more.
Wine Training
With its consumption on the rise, wine makes up approximately 30% of what you'll serve when behind the bar. Learning proper wine service is key and this bar will allow you to do just that. With close to 100 bottles on-hand within the class, you'll learn how to open, pour and properly serve both Red and White wines using specific glassware for each. You'll also spend time on proper Champagne bottle service.
This room also has two corkers that allow you to re cork and open as many bottles as you want to sharpen your wine skills. Also, with the popularity of "Bring Your Own Wine" flourishing throughout Ontario, you'll need to know how use these re-corking tools.
Beer Training
Us Canadians really do love our beer. That's why it is the most widely served drink category of them all. In this bar, we've included two real beer fridges stocked and ready to go to teach precise bottle service.
Advanced Level Training Bar
With classic cocktails making a comeback, and martinis taking the main stage in most establishments, knowing how to properly prepare and serve these elaborate recipes is imperative in your success. Further still, knowing how to create and mix new and popular flavours will greatly increase your knowledge behind the bar.
