Chicago — Bartending Career Outlook
Chicago is the birthplace of some of America's most influential bar culture — from the jazz-club cocktails of the 1920s to the craft bartending revolution that transformed River North and Logan Square into destinations for national cocktail tourists.
Our program trains you for Chicago's full spectrum: from the high-volume Cubs and Bears game-day crush to the meticulous craft cocktail programs at nationally recognized bars. You'll graduate certified, skilled, and connected to Chicago's hiring network.
