In the past, this section of our website has included a number of favorable comments that our graduates have provided us over the years. These are genuine, yet not always current or verifiable.

Starting April 2008, I have decided to provide a link to Yelp.com on our testimonials page. Yelp.com is a place where real people can honestly evaluate goods and services based on personal experiences.

This site includes unsolicited customer reviews that are relevant and verifiable. I feel this site is one of the most helpful ways for consumers to make informed decisions about future purchases.

Being able to "experience" a service before purchasing is hugely valuable. I hope you find these reviews equally helpful in choosing a quality bartending school.

Cheers,

Mark Hersey, Director
San Francisco School of Bartending

P.S. Below you can still find all of the comments that were posted prior to the Yelp's arrival.
