About Bartending Academy & Workshops
I see bartending as more than mixing drinks. It's about making someone feel at home, maybe even turning their day around. That feeling - of real hospitality - is what I try to pass on here.
What You’ll Find Here
- Career Starters: Our professional bartender certification is built for folks ready to dive into the industry. We get deep into hands-on bartending training, mixology, flair bartending, and the nitty gritty of spirits. You’ll actually get to visit a working distillery too.
- Weekend Warriors: If making cocktails at home is more your scene, our cocktail making workshop is all about fun, fast learning. We’re talking 80% hands-on - come ready to shake, stir, and taste.
- Team Ups: Got a bar or restaurant? We run custom staff and hospitality skills training for teams, from advanced mixology to wine and coffee basics.
How We Do It
You’ll spend most of your time behind a real bar, not stuck in a classroom. We mix practice with just enough theory so you know the “why” behind the “how”. Our space has all the gear you’d see at a top bar.
I started by accident, but stuck around for the people. If you’re ready to learn, I’m here to help you find your path too.

My Story
Started off in Bombay, late 90s, just a steward hustling for some cash. Never planned to stick around, but turns out, I’m hooked on hospitality. Switched to bartending, felt like performing on stage. Not easy, but soon the bar felt like home. Got obsessed with flair bartending, practiced non-stop, even won the first national flair title in 2003. Now, I run my own academy, and honestly, I just want to pass on what I’ve learnt.
My Work
Full Bar Solutions & Training - We offer professional and weekend bartending courses, flair bartending workshops, and bar consultancy services.
Hospitality, Not Just Service - We teach that bartending is about creating moments, not just mixing drinks. Making people smile is the real deal.
Hands-On Learning - Most of our mixology training is practical - classic cocktails, milk washing technique, even distillery trips.
Add Flair to Bartending - We show you how to entertain while you serve. A little showmanship goes a long way in bartending.
