Theory vs Practical Mixology Skills

We often get asked whether a bar professional training course should include both theory and practical aspects of mixology, and the answer is simple – yes! To succeed in bartending, you need to have hands-on experience while understanding the techniques you’re using and why they make next-level cocktails. This will help you to hone your skills and develop confidence behind the bar while giving you the knowledge which is going to impress potential employers.

At The Spirit Lab, we blend these concepts. We have a real working bar and lab to help you see theories in action and get to grips with advanced techniques, while expert mentors teach you the reasons behind what we do. It’s a great way to learn at our bartender course London, whether you’ve never worked in a bar before or you want to advance your career onto more high-end businesses.
