Click Here   to see The Tampa Tribune newspaper article about ABC Bartending Schools.
ABC Bartending School in Tampa, Florida, is located off the Howard Franklin Bridge by the West Shore Mall at 4601 West Kennedy Boulevard.   Owner Tony Sylvester opened his first Bartending School in Florida in 1977 and has been training and placing Bartenders here ever since.

Bartenders are known for their ability to make a good living, have fun and meet people.   Continue down this page for a look at our Placement List for Tampa.  Then click on the sidebar for a look at our Placement Lists for other parts of the country as well as Letters of Recommendations and Newspaper Articles.  Now you can see why Tony Sylvester is one of the leaders in this field.

The Sylvester family has been in the Hospitality industry for three generations.  Tony brings you all that experience in his school's curriculum and manual.

Look at the great cities listed at the bottom of the page where Tony has opened schools.   As you can see, all these cities are hospitality oriented which means lots of Restaurants, Hotels, Country Clubs, Night Clubs and Bars.  Now what does that mean for ABC graduates?  Opportunity!

Look around at the number of liquor serving establishments in your city and the number of Bartenders, both Full and Part Time, that it takes to staff these operations.  Get the picture?

Thousands of students are trained and placed every year nationwide by ABC in our professional one week, two week and three week programs that cover all the techniques used to become a professional bartender.
