WHAT IS GASLAMP BARTENDING SCHOOL?

Gaslamp Bartending School is a one-of-a-kind program that provides the best Bartending training and success rate GUARANTEED! Our #1 goal is to train our students to be elite, efficient, money making Bartending machines and get them to work ASAP. GBS WILL PROVIDE BARTENDER EVENT STAFFING UPON GRADUATION!.

We are able to do this because our Founder/Head Instructor Nino Nunziante, 2017 & 2018 winner of BEST BARTENDER SAN DIEGO and Active Bar Consultant, has been a Hospitality Industry leader since 2002 in San Diego and knows what it takes to be the best. Nino is a SD local with 15+ years Bartending/Managing experience at the hottest bars/restaurants/clubs in San Diego to go. GBS was built with all the knowledge that you simply can not get anywhere else.

We spend a college semester worth of time with our students and actually work with our students as they learn. WE DO NOT GIVE YOU A BOOK AND HAVE YOU TEACH YOURSELF or over pack classes. You will NOT need months to pass our #1 rated program like other schools. We are highly structured and since we work one-on-one with our students as they learn, we can get anyone to elite bartending status in 1-2 weeks. Otherwise we extend the program for free until they pass. Our students success is our #1 focus.

GBS is even a Bartender Staffing agency providing bartenders for all types of venues ALL OVER San Diego for years. From top clubs and beach bars to fun dive bars, hotels, restaurants, SDSU stadium, SeaWorld, sports bars, Special events and more.

We can turn GBS to a full blown experience. GBS trains for all types of venues, but being able to turn our bar into a full functioning nightclub sometimes is just wayyyy more fun! It’s also very helpful to learning how to deal with distractions of any nature.

We don’t just redefine Bartending training, but we also set the bar for training facilities.

READ THIS FOLLOW UP FROM GRAD LAUREN (ABOVE), NOW BARTENDING AT MAVERICKS BEACH CLUB IN PB, THE #1 PB BAR! LAUREN IS BARTENDING AT MAVERICKS IN DAYS OF GRADUATING.

"I am currently bartending at Mavericks Beach Club in Pacific Beach, I was hired the week after I finished my course with GBS. GBS taught me everything I needed to know to get started. Recipes, how to pour drinks quickly and efficiently, and all the little details. I was confident going into my interview with the help I received creating my resume and learning about possible interview questions. The skills I learned at GBS have been monumental in my success. I wouldn’t be able to bartend at such a high volume venue without the fundamental skills and tricks I learned at GBS.
I chose GBS because they allow you to learn the Aloha POS system, and that was something that was particularly unique compared to other bartending schools. I also learn best when I can physically do the task at hand, so being able to use real bottles in a nightclub environment was very realistic and easy to transfer to my bartending job. My experience was a 10/10. I achieved everything I was told I would, and more. My new job has been a game changer for me financially. Thank you GBS!"

“Do I need bartending experience to start bartending rite away?” NO! Not When you come to GBS at least. GBS STAFFING IS REAL!

This is a major move finding yourself from your couch or boring job to bartending at El Chingon in weeks! ONLY AT GBS!

Read her review on yelp with pics). Students receive the chance to bartend all over San Diego and are provided with job interviews!!

Only at GBS: LEARN FROM THE BEST BARTENDERS IN SAN DIEGO

When learning how to bartend why not be instructed by the best! Nino Nunziante, Owner and Head Instructor of GBS, is the recent winner of the 2017 "Beast of the Beach" AND 2018 "Beast of the Bar", a competition to determine San Diego's top bartender through nomination and competition. With his experience in the San Diego hospitality industry since 2002 Nino has crafted the most advanced and complete bartending program possible to create the top bartenders. A San Diego local that has been Bartending, Managing and Consulting the last 14 years in San Diego’s top venues, Nino has the connections deep in the San Diego hospitality industry and its hiring managers.

Only at GBS: ONLY SCHOOL WITH IN-CLASS POS (point of sales aka cash register) TRAINING

FACT: If you can not ring in drinks you cant bartend. A Bartender MUST understand the functionality and usage of the Point Of Sales (POS) System. Spend the hours multi-tasking with it and learning from mistakes that will not cost them their jobs later. YOUR POS KNOWLEDGE IS EXPECTED TO BE ALREADY KNOWN BY MANAGERS. The POS system is 50% of what we use as we Bartend. Being THE ONLY SCHOOL with POS Systems gives our students the ability to start working immediately, no learning curves at all.
