Was on the fence about enrolling and it has been the best thing yet! Midwest has truly turned into a family for me. I have met some great people, the instructors are great, the connections you make are even better! I’ve had fun doing the jobs they give me(Final four, fire fighter convention, Luke combs concert, architecture convention, Indy 500) and I have never had an issue with my paycheck. I love the flexibility of tuition, it can be paid in full or you can make payments!
GO FOR IT!

Had a great experience here, learned a lot, and would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to get into bartending in the Indy/midwest area

This place is insane, but in a good way. I came in knowing close to nothing in regards to bar tending. Two weeks later, I know way more drinks than I thought my brain could remember and (humble brag, but it's to explain how amazing this place is) can make twelve drinks in five and a half minutes. All the staff is outgoing and more than willing to answer any question they may be able to answer. They're also super flexible in case for some reason a class is missed. I would recommend this school and their variety of classes to anyone interested. 12/10

My instructor was Holly. She definitely has a niche for teaching and making it enjoyable. Great background music as well lol. Going into the class, people always told me bartending school was irrelevant, but I found out THATS NOT TRUE! Long story short, I’ve been working events for Midwest and even got a job as a bartender at a downtown hotel fresh out of class. The whole staff is amazing and understanding.

I hired Midwest to come to my bar and train all of my new bartenders. We had a great time and the knowledge we gained has made us a step above the rest. Cliff was very knowledgeable and a great help to our business. He fixed our keg system and taught us simple tricks to make a drink go from bleh to AMAZING. He also showed us drinks to move our old inventory. A wonderful investment, I plan to have Cliff back every year.

I had no experience behind the bar or alcohol knowledge in general. I thought 2 weeks was not enough time to learn everything covered, but it was plenty. The instructors are very helpful and knowledgeable about the topics covered. Don't be afraid to ask questions, the instructors love helping the students. I would recommend this school to anyone.
