Don't go to bartending school, ESPECIALLY in new york. They'll just swindle your money out of you.
if you want to be a bartender, start at a small restaurant with a bar, and learn everything that you need to know from the other bartenders that work there. As you gain experience, you can get a job at more expensive bars and restaurants.
All of my friends that have tried "barmanship programs" have not been hired as bartenders, because that stuff is just crap advertised on television.
The basic answer to your question: it depends on where you are and what kind of school you want to go to. The price can vary from a few hundred to $1000. The latter can include "extra" classes that a normal school would not give you like flair classes, an in depth wine class, and TIPS certification. As to response to other peoples answers about going or not going to bartending school, the answer is it is up to you. Bartending school can teach you a lot and help you alot. It is true that you never need to go to bartedning school to become a bartender, the best bartenders learn from experience and not a classroom. That works for all jobs. What the school's do is give you a blanket idea of what bartending will be like and the drinks you will need to make. Most will even help you get a job. Some places don't care if you went to bartending school or not. Like one of the above posters said, he trains his staff. That's great and all if you have to time to work up to being a bartender. At some places that can take YEARS. Bartending school can definitely help you. If you know tons of bartenders that can get you jobs and help you, don't bother. But if you have no hands in this field, go to bartending school. It will help.
