BE LIKE AJ IN LA
When I started the first class I had no idea it would end up opening doors for me like never before. I learned a TON from NBS and was immediately given a few positions.
Turns out I love the job and with hard work and constantly challenging myself I wound up being the full on manager at LA’s hottest bar. I would highly recommend these guys if you’re looking for a new rewarding career and where the money is good too!
AJ, Lead Bartender at Darrow’s Creole Bar of Los Angeles
