5.0 out of 5 stars Best Bartending DVD I've Seen, January 12, 2006

This review is from: Art Of the Drink, Volume 1: Bar Essentials (DVD)

I'm a full-time bartender and have been for years, and I collect bartending books and videos to keep current. I've seen pretty much everything out there, and this is by far the best DVD you can get. The format is very original and entertaining, the students are interesting, attractive, and ask great questions, and it's very professionally made. But the best thing about it is the material. I've worked with a lot of professional bartenders that don't know half the stuff in this DVD. The instructor is extremely knowledgable and makes the information easy to remember by telling stories and joking around. It would also be great for someone who doesn't know anything about making drinks because the instructor covers everything from how a bar is set up to how to make a great martini. I know I learned some stuff, and that's saying something. Very highly recommended. If you have any interest in learning about bartending, get this DVD!

I am training to become a bartender in Las Vegas very soon, and this is the most informative DVD on the market today. I learned so much in such a short amount of time. I love it! Can't wait till the next volume comes out - I'm ordering it as soon as it's released.

Can't believe how much info they got in under 2 hrs. Covers everything you need to know and then some and does it really well. Plus the students are very cool and easy on the eyes. Definitely buy it.
