What bartenders are saying
“I printed out the mise en place section and it completely changed how I set up my station. My ticket times dropped and my manager noticed within the first week. Worth every cent.”
Marcus T.
Houston, TX
“The upsell scripts felt awkward to read but I tried them anyway. By Friday I'd added $40 to my tip average. The costing worksheets are also genuinely useful — I had no idea how badly I was pricing my well drinks.”
Jenna R.
Chicago, IL
“I've been bartending 6 years and I still picked up things from this guide. The classic specs section alone is worth it for anyone who learned on the job and never got formal training. I've already shared it with two people I trained.”
Dave K.
New York, NY
The A.M.P. Difference
Built by working bartenders. For working bartenders.
After Hours Mixology Program is not a generic bartending school recycling the same tired content. Every system, script, and worksheet was built by people who've actually worked the bar — slammed Saturday nights, difficult regulars, 300-cover rushes, and all. Practical over theoretical. Printable over pretty. Instant access, no waiting, no subscriptions.
Common Questions
Got questions?
What format is it in?
It's a PDF — works on any device, desktop, tablet, or phone. Print-friendly layout so you can keep a copy behind the bar.
Do I need prior bartending experience?
No. The guide covers beginner fundamentals through intermediate and advanced techniques. If you're new, start at the beginning. If you're experienced, skip to the sections you need.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If it's not useful, email us and we'll refund you. Visit /guarantee for full details. See guarantee →
Is this a subscription?
No. One-time payment, lifetime access. You pay once, download it, and it's yours forever — including any updates.
How is this different from YouTube tutorials?
YouTube is scattered and unstructured. This is a systematic, printable reference built around how you actually work behind a bar — not 10-minute videos you can't use mid-shift.
