San Diego's Premier Bartending Program
San Diego is where the American craft beer revolution took root — and its hospitality market reflects that heritage. Today, over 160 craft breweries and hundreds of bars, rooftop lounges, and beach clubs make San Diego one of the most exciting places in the country to be a bartender.
Our program goes deep on craft beer knowledge (essential in this market), while also covering the full cocktail spectrum needed for San Diego's diverse venues: from the upscale rooftop bars of the Gaslamp Quarter to the relaxed beach bars of Pacific Beach and the Navy-adjacent entertainment corridor of the East Village.
