So I just finished the 2 day introduction to cocktail making course.The Dublin Bar Academy was great and it's a really great space.You feel right at home when you get there and Gary kept the course as informative and yet fun as possible.He's full of Wisdom but of course somebody with a good personality and good sense of humour is what keeps things light interesting and fun rather than heavy and draining.I learned a lot...Can't say I have a natural talent for this but I come from a background of absolutely no hands on experience prior although I'm sure work ethic could do wonders after learning the foundations the course gave us and the process aswell as a book with all the classics you need to know many of which can be modified to make many more of course.Great course,Great place and Great people.No reason to give any less than 5 stars ⭐️

An amazing experience, Been in hospitality industry the past 25 years.. It felt I needed a refresher specifically behind the bar. It’s more than learn how to shake a cocktail. Is the full experience, from how to price a cocktail to maximise margin, to the creative process, bar set up and closing procedures. Four days of intensive learning, skill upgrading technics, practical tips, issue solving, upscaling, empowerment and confidence building. You don’t just learn how to create a drink, but you learn how to make the drinks 500+ times per night consistently. The knowledge, experience, industry insights and creativity from the lecturers is exceptional. A benefit anyone in the industry, from management, to trainees. Anyone that may be required to jump in the bar at some stage.

Just completed the 2 day cocktail & mixology course and I can’t rate it highly enough. Delivered by the excellent Gary, both the facilities and the training were excellent. Very enjoyable and learnt loads. Highly recommend.

I came specifically from Basel, Switzerland to make a two week bartending course. And my expectations were genuinely exceeded. Gary and Tom shared with excellent knowledge about hospitality industry whole over the world. I felt that they were cheering for us to find the best jobs we could have. We had a chance to practice at a real industry night event! There was even an excellent wine lecture from one of the best European sommelier. l will definitely come back next year for a four day course to go next level in my bartender career. Best of luck to new students! You can do this!🫶🏻

Last night, my co-workers and I had our cocktail masterclass with Gary Kelly at Dublin Bar Academy. Not only did we learn a lot and had great drinks but we also had great fun! I strongly recommend everyone to give it a try, you'll enjoy every minute of this experience.  Thanks for everything, Gary!

Very friendly staff with great knowledge of the cocktails and their history. The whole team thoroughly enjoyed the event especially the cocktail making competition at the end. Gary and Victor were both excellent in hosting this event and we would highly recommend to any company looking for a team building/bonding exercise. We got good feedback all round from everyone that attended. Thanks again Dublin Bar Academy!
