Mix ‘em Up Bartending School

These people are totally unprofessional! DO NOT go here. They misrepresent themselves in every way possible. From pushing us through the classes and handing out diplomas not worth the paper they are printed on these guys are terrible. My credit card company is also having a hard time with my refund due to some shady bookkeeping on the schools end-​figures. The icing on the cake was the little guido owner hitting on me and my daughter! Stay away!

Attended a beer appreciation class «Hops To It» at Mix ‘em Up taught by Dan. He called it amateur hour bcos nobody was trying to be a better bartender, just a bunch of groupon buyers lol.
Class included a lotta lecture (ales vs lagers etc etc), a 90 page beer guide (with many excerpts from Wikipedia) and 10 beers to compare and contrast (yummy). Plenty of good discussion of beer styles, explanation of brewing techniques and styles, beer glass shapes, fruits and spices in wheat beer, bitter beer vs pale ale, porter vs stout, Washington’s beer recipes, nitrogen lines, Dan’s mead recipe, beer cocktails, even some Oktoberfest trivia. Anyhow, trying many different beers while learning about them was great.
But 3+ hours is a long sit on a bar stool, and our 5pm class didn’t include any food at all, hmm drinking on an empty stomach isn’t exactly my pref.
The place is a dive (not a bar) with a broken pool table, a few neon signs and a zillion bottles of colored water. What’s missing — alcohol! Guess the real students stay cold sober here.
Thanks to my buddy Jeff S for taking me back to school :)
