Yes, we have a full liquor license!

National Bartenders is a fully licensed company to serve alcohol throughout the state of California, both at our own school premises and at any other location.

We are licensed to train our bartenders at all of our schools using real alcoholic beverages, providing a real-life experience through our in-person and online bartending classes, to ensure a first-class instruction of pouring, mixing, and serving a wide variety of drinks upon receiving the National Bartender Certification.

This guarantees that, from day one of enrollment at one of our bartending schools, our bartenders receive their instructions by handling only actual alcoholic beverages that they go on to serve upon completion of the program.

It ensures that we serve only the highest standard of beverages at every single event.

We are also responsible for ensuring compliance with all local and state laws and regulations related to the service of alcohol, which includes checking IDs to effectively curtail under-age drinking and to prevent overconsumption.

Our licenses and permits include:

• All appropriate ABC licensing
• Liquor liability insurance covering $5 million
• One day or multiple day liquor permit options
• Cash bar events available

National Bartenders guarantees full legal compliance of serving and catering at events as well as ensuring the highest possible standard and expertise of its well-trained bartending staff.
