Professional Bartending School

The Professional Bartending School opened in Nashville in 1992, and has been under the direction of David Edwards since then. Due to the central location of our school, we are only a 15 to 20 minute drive from most areas of Nashville.

Professional Bartending School of Nashville is licensed by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. We are a state-licensed trade school and have trained over 15,000 people, of all ages and backgrounds, for a rewarding career in bartending.

As a state-licensed trade school, we operate in a professional and ethical manner. All of our websites meet the licensing requirements for our school. Others have come and gone but the Professional Bartending School of Nashville has continued to be the leader in the bartending industry locally and nationwide for over 30 years.

Our Nashville bartending school staff has many years experience bartending in some of Nashville's best establishments. Our Nashville bartender school has placed graduates throughout Nashville and the surrounding areas in great jobs.

Our local campus and students have been featured in many local papers and TV stations and has been featured on Channel 2 and Channel 4 News. Our graduates have also appeared on the CMT Network making drinks on the CMT Top 20 countdown and have appeared on the reality show "The Ultimate Coyote Ugly Search" which highlights bartending and the art of flair bartending. One of the Nashville graduates won the first season!

• With major companies downsizing and good jobs becoming harder to find, bartending is the perfect career. Bars are always busy. People enjoy the bar atmosphere when they are celebrating the good times, or to lift their spirits during the bad times. With this in mind, bartending has been referred to as a "recession-proof" career.
• Pay is always a consideration when choosing a career. Bartenders are paid an hourly pay plus tips. The pay is usually $8.00 to $15.00 an hour, plus tips. Tips typically average $15.00 to $40.00 an hour depending on the establishment.
