Hey, we're Kyle and Nate, founders of the Nimble Bar Co
We didn’t meet on Tinder, but like many great relationships, we DID meet in a bar…
And in the beginning, things were pretty prickly between us. We didn’t really ‘get’ each other.
But as time passed, we started to develop a sense of team and a synergistic energy behind the bar that we came to be known for.
We started hearing things like “I just got back from [insert big city name here] and no one does it like you guys.”

The community, expertise, and proven programs to help accelerate your career.
Sure, you could learn a lot by pounding the pavement, working at crusty bars, and crossing your fingers that you might get that bar gig you’ve actually been dreaming of, or …
Start developing your skills methodically, using proven models and systems, and rapidly accelerate your bartending prowess.
In other words, learn potent life skills (that happen to pay the bills).

Learn from specialists
All the generalities around how to be a bartender are available on the internet. And it that’s what you’re after, then that’s all you need.
If, on the other hand, you want to uncover something new that most others haven’t, you’ll want to learn from specialists who’ve taken the time to develop in a specific area of expertise.
From functional flair and technique; to wine and beer; to verbal judo and winning competitions, our instructors are all specialists.’
