Reading intoxication
Spotting the signs early, tracking guests across a long event, and understanding how pace, food and drink strength change the picture.

What it covers
The judgment calls that actually happen behind a bar.
Anyone can memorize a rulebook. This class is about recognizing the moment in front of you and handling it without making a scene.
Cutting someone off
How to stop service calmly and respectfully, keep the guest’s dignity intact, and involve the host or venue when you need backup.
Checking ID properly
What to actually look for, how to spot a fake, and how to handle a refusal without turning it into a confrontation.
Liability & the law
Where responsibility sits between the server, the host and the venue, and what that means for you personally on a shift.
Pour control
Consistent pours mean predictable service. Free-pour technique, jiggering, and why a heavy hand is a safety issue and not generosity.
Working an event bar
Setup, stocking, keeping the line moving, and managing a crowd that all arrives at once after the ceremony ends.
Who it’s for
New behind the bar, or been there for years.
If you’re starting out, this is a solid foundation before your first shift. If you’ve been pouring for a decade, it’s the refresher that keeps your certification current and your venue’s insurance happy.
We also run private sessions for venues, catering teams and restaurant staff — get in touch if you want your whole team certified at once.
