There are no good bartending schools. As a bartender for the last 15 years, I am here to tell you the best way to do it is to start off in either a club or build your way through a restaurant. If you go to bartending school you will have to be deprogrammed to what they teach you. Every bartender that I know from Birmingham to New Orleans learned and earned their way to that spot. Go to a restaurant, get a job serving, and ask the bartender a lot of questions. Get a bartending book and read your basic recipes then go for it.
Bartenders that come out of those schools are frowned upon by other bartenders. They never can handle a crowd because they are trying to do everything that the "school" taught them. Just a word of advice! Good luck!
