THE PREMIUM INSTITUTE OF BARTENDING - WHO WE ARE

The Dallas/Fort Worth Bartending Schools were founded by David and Rikki Phillips.  Our background includes over 20 years in the Bartending and Education Industry.  We combined our knowledge of Bartending with our ability to educate people,  and opened our Dallas Bartending School.  Since then, we opened our second location in Fort Worth. We have students working all over the Dallas Metroplex.  This includes, Dallas, Fort Worth, Addison, Lewisville, Flower Mound, Weatherford, Grand Prairie, Irving, Arlington, Garland, Carrollton, Richardson, Duncanville, Keller, Denton, and more.  Check out our Job Placement page for more information.

WE ASKED WHAT BARTENDING STUDENTS WANTED

1. Instructors who care and will help us learn what we need to know
2. The school needs to look and feel like a bar
3. Getting experience behind a real bar
4. Job Placement Assistance

With that in mind, we built our schools to simulate a real bar.  During class, we set the mood to make you feel you are walking into a club on a Saturday Night. This includes, great music, disco balls, strobe lights, and more.  Since you will be working in chaos, you will need to learn in that environment too. We added the Externship Program to help get students in front of a real bar BEFORE they graduate.  We created a professional development class to help students learn how to interview for Bartending Jobs and ensure they have a resume for Bartending positions.  We’ve equipped the school with computers to help students prepare their resumes as well as research companies on the Internet.

WE ASKED WHAT BAR/RESTAURANT OWNERS WANTED

1. Speed and Efficiency behind the bar
2. Accuracy in Liquor Pouring
3. Presentation of the drinks

Our entire Bartending School's Program is built around these three components.  You will learn to use two hands while making drinks, learn to minimize the number of steps to complete multiple drink orders, learn to accurately free pour liquor from ¼ ounce to 3 oz’s, and learn the proper fill levels of the different glassware as well as all the Garnishes that go with the cocktails. This is what the Premium Institute of Bartending is all about.  It’s like our students say.  “YOU GUYS GET IT”!!!! AND WE DO!!

WARNING ABOUT ONLINE BARTENDING SCHOOLS

Please take a moment and read this if you have considered taking an Online Bartending Course versus Hands-on Bartending Training.

There are a number of companies that offer Bartending Training online.  These companies claim to be able to teach the skill of bartending by interactive classes on the computer.  I guess, if you planned to “virtually” bartend at an on-line bar, this may work.  But in the “real” world you need “hands-on” practice behind a “real” bar.  This is not a skill that can be learned by reading a manual.   Most charge between $50 and $100 for the course.  Buyer beware!!!!  You will get what you pay for.

Imagine a nurse trying to draw your blood after taking an online nursing program.  You probably would not have much faith in the nurse’s abilities, right?  Well bar managers and owners, feel the same way.  And the point of taking any bartending training program, is to get a job as a bartender!

Online Bartending Schools DO NOT OFFER:

• Hands-on training behind a “real” bar!
•  A learning environment that has all the Bar Equipment and tools to learn and practice with.
• Live interaction with an instructor.
• Hundreds of liquor bottles for you to practice with and learn from.

The Premium Institute of Bartending DOES OFFER:

• Hands-on training behind a “real” bar which helps you become comfortable in your working environment.
• Provide a learning environment that has tons of tools and Bar Equipment that you can learn and practice with which ensures that you are prepared to successfully step into your Bartending Career.
• Quality bartending training from experienced instructors that offer personal feedback and this improves your speed and accuracy in cocktail preparation.
• Externships that allow you to work in a bar, club, hotel, or restaurant prior to graduation and this helps you to feel more confident and comfortable prior to going on interviews.
• The personal attention of on site owners to ensure quality training at all times.
