Local Bartending School of New York welcomes you!

New York State Law Requires Bartenders to be Only 18. The best part about being a bartender in NYC is the leniency in its alcoholic laws. Alcohol cannot be consumed only from 4:00 am to 8:00 am in some states and the rest of the day is all yours to visit any pub or bar you want. All you have to do is get the required training with the help of Local Bartending School (LBS) and give the exam to get the certificate. Some famous cities of New York City are Albany, Buffalo, Syracuse and Rochester and there are 56 more.

The NY Certification Exam Takes 30 Minutes. The exam is taken under the supervision of an examiner even though you take the course online. The test takes almost 30 minutes and there is a fee for this exam. The training is so extensive that the students actually get to sit at the bars where the qualified instructors show how to prepare all kinds of drinks and beverages so that they practically learn it.

LBS’s New York Certification Course. The course covers topics such as spotting someone who has had too much to drink, to check IDs properly and the liabilities and responsibilities of the bartender. You can attend in-class, in-person or online courses whatever suits you best. The acceptable forms of identification cards are Valid New York State driver’s license or non-driver identification card or a valid driver’s license or non-driver identification card from any other US state, territory, or possession or Canada, valid United States military identification, valid passport or visa from the United States government or any other country.

Bartending course will enable you to identify these cards if they are authentic and then serve the customer. You can also take on premise or off-premise courses for bartending. On-premise serving course can be taken if you are working at a bar or restaurant. The off-premise responsible serving course can be taken if you are working in a convenience store, liquor store, or other off-premises sales business.
