STIR Academy of Bartending was set up in 1997 as a platform for people who’re interested in learning about bartending and getting training in the field. It’s run by Shatbhi Basu, the first female bartender in India. The institute pioneers bartenders – with a mix of theoretical and practical knowledge.
They have a six to seven month part-time course. It’ll happen three times a week at least and is a three-hour class. The fee is INR 35,000 and once you graduate, there, you’re a certified bartender. A lot of the graduates have gone to open up their own enterprises, have worked at popular bars – including five-star hotels.
