About

I believe bartending is really about the hours you put in, not just flashy tricks. It's sweaty, sometimes frustrating, and you’ll probably drop a few bottles. But when you nail a move and see someone enjoy the drink you made, that’s the real reward.

What You’ll Actually Learn

• Flair & Showmanship: From work flair (stuff you can actually use behind the bar) to wild exhibition routines, we break it all down. You’ll get hands-on with juggling, learn specific moves like the double flip shadow pass, and for those who want to push it, we go into fire flair bartending techniques (yep, actual fire - but only if you’re ready).
• Mixology: You’ll make classics and come up with your own signatures. I focus on practical mixology training, so you get the hang of real-world drink making, proper shaking, layering shots, and using ingredients that make drinks pop.
• Pouring Skills: Free pouring, jigger pouring, and even multi-pouring from a stack of shakers. It’s all about finesse and consistency.

How We Train

We don’t do boring lectures. You’ll be in a real bar setup, with pro tools, spongy floors (so you don’t freak out about dropping stuff), and loads of practice bottles. Sessions run in Bangalore, Mumbai, and Nagpur.

For Your Career

If you want to just impress friends, that’s cool. But if you want to work in big hotels or rock bartending competitions, I’ll make sure you’re ready. The skills you learn here are what places like Hilton and Hard Rock look for.

No Sugarcoating

This isn’t easy, but it's never boring. If you’re ready to put in the work, I’ll teach you everything I know.
