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.

Kam started bartending to explore his passion for mixology as a way of connecting people. He's worked across pub settings, fine dining, and cocktail bars, including as Bar Manager at Ancora Waterfront and Head Bartender at the Diamond. His favourite drink to make is the Espresso Martini because it cleverly balances caffeine and alcohol, and while simple in concept, requires skill to perfect. When not behind the bar, Kam is building his global brand, Bootleggers Cocktail, and loves travelling to discover food, beverage, and music from around the world. Teaching at Fine Art Bartending School is meaningful to him as it's where his own journey began, and he's excited to help develop the next generation of bartenders.
