If you are doing it just for fun and your own knowledge, and the school is reputable, go for it. If you are looking to get a job as a bartender though, don't go. These schools can't teach you what it's like to be behind a busy bar. If you are looking for a cheaper method there are lots of good bartending books out there like Mr. Boston's -try Amazon or your local book store.Is the Pacific Bartending School in Los Angeles a good idea?
Books? Get real. I went to this school and learned a lot. If I listened to everyone telling me not to go to school I'd still be trying to talk my way into some bar as a barback or I'd still be working the door checking ID's. Sometimes school works. I know this one did.

NO WAY! go to border's or wherever and pick up a good cocktail book. that is way too much to pay. experiment with your friends, it is pretty easy when your having fun.Is the Pacific Bartending School in Los Angeles a good idea?
Excellent idea. Try a little flair too. Everybody likes a good looking Coyote Ugly girl.
don't do it if you're looking for a bartending job at somewhere other than a holiday inn. I manage a bar and would rather hire someone with no exper. than someone who has learned bad habits from someone who chances are has never worked behind a barIs the Pacific Bartending School in Los Angeles a good idea?
You could buy a lot of books or videos for that price. Plus, you could always refer back to them when needed. It also depends on how serious you want to get with cocktails. Plus, if you're anything like me, you'll forget what you learned before you get the opportunity to use them.
