Inside the front door of the Bartender's Training Institute sits what appears to be a fully functioning bar. But don't pull up a stool just yet - this bar is just for practice. This institute trains aspiring bartenders to become licensed professionals. Students sit on the "customer" side to study the basics of the bartending trade during classes, and eventually transition to the "pros-only" backside of the bar to try their hands at the job. It's a fun environment, but serious learning does occur. BTI offers free introductory classes, making it risk-free to determine if the school is a match for a given student's needs. Flexible class times accommodate most schedules. Check the website for a list of courses.
