Bartender Instructors

Grant began his bartending journey in Alberta, earning a Diploma in Bartender Training from N.A.I.T. before moving to Vancouver. With extensive experience at the Westin Bayshore and various nightclubs, he excels in both high-volume and flair bartending. His skills shine on sunny days when an Aperol Spritz is a patio favourite. Outside of bartending, Grant loves traveling through Europe and gardening, holding a Master Gardener Certificate from VanDusen Botanical Garden.

Drew started bartending to have a skill that could get him jobs while traveling. He quickly loved the creative part of making new and fun drinks. He learned bartending at Fine Art Bartending School and has worked mainly in UK cocktail bars and various other venues. His favourite drink to make is the Tom Collins because it's a friendly way to introduce people to gin. Drew loves to be outside, hiking in summer and skiing in winter. Teaching at Fine Art Bartending School is special for him because it's where he started, and he's excited to help others begin their bartending careers.

Dave got into bartending after working as a barback at The Keg Steakhouse, where he was inspired by the bartenders there. Dave draws his knowledge from a wide range of venues, including Irish pubs, sports bars, live music venues, and even a private legion. His favourite drink to make is the Margarita because each sip brings back memories of a vacation. Dave loves the outdoors and spends his free time hiking and camping. His goal as an instructor is to make bartending approachable to students.
