Hollywood Campus Staff Profiles---------------------------------------------------------
Andrew - Bartending Instructor
Alex - Bartending Instructor
Greg - Bartending Instructor
Andrew "The Alchemist" Willett is a working bartender, bar chef and bar consultant. Holding a culinary degree from Kitchen Academy in Hollywood, Andrew specializes in the use of fresh juices and custom-made ingredients. He is a scholar of the history and forms of mixed drinks as well as the emerging trends in quality bartending. His passion for making the best possible drinks is inexhaustible. Andrew is a member of the Museum of the American Cocktail and trains new students in the art of mixology at the National Bartenders’ School in Los Angeles.
Born in Los Angeles , Alex spent 10 years as a bartender in Honolulu, Hawaii . He worked in every atmosphere. From the high-end hotel beach bar, to the overcrowded college "dive" bar. From nightclubs that stayed open till 4 am, to restaurants that specialized in martinis and wine. He prides his service on speed and accuracy, with a balance of making his customers feel welcome and attended to at all times. Alex has always enjoyed passing on what he knows about the bar and service industry to those that are curious about making it a career. As an instructor at NBS he will teach you that if you remember your patrons' names, what they drink, and make them forget about their workday, you will get very far in this business.
Greg Bryson is one of Southern California’s up-and-coming mixologists. In bars and clubs across Los Angeles, as well as the National Bartenders’ School, he has earned a reputation for his somewhat unorthodox social skills, and for insisting on a high degree of excellence in drinks. As an instructor at NBS he is highly committed to turning students into fast, efficient, fun bartenders by means of passing on the knowledge and experience he has acquired.

"The National Bartending School of Los Angeles is fantastic! The atmosphere is so welcoming and inspiring it makes you want to work hard at becoming a great bartender. The people that work there are awesome and the job placement after you graduate is wonderful too. I still go in there and practice from time to time 2 years after graduating. I would highly recommend this school to anybody who is interested in bartending."
Romney Marino
"As far as the school goes, Andrew Willett is AMAZING. He truly is an asset to the Hollywood NBS. He is so knowledgable and really gives you a feel for how drinks SHOULD be done properly even if we get a job that wants us to make drinks "cheap and slutty" with sour mix. So I give him 5 stars! And I always appreciate your emails, they are that glimmer of hope in my week."
Guy / Now working @ Bar 1912 Beverly Hills Hotel, Beverly Hills, CA
"After attending the school I interviewed with Bar 1912 at The Beverly
Hills Hotel. During the interview they asked me several questions to
test my knowledge; the difference between a Gibson and a Gimlet, the
grading system for Cognac, to name a couple. Thanks to your extensive
training I passed the test with flying colors and was hired as part of
their opening team. I'm still there six months later and very happy
with my job. Had it not been for the course I don't think I would have
made it... Thanks for everything,"
Joey
"I currently work at the Bonaventure Brewing Co. in the Westin Hotel downtown. I went to bartending school in 2001, but I still use the job leads. I find them very helpful. Thanks. "
Richard Wayland - (Riordan’s Tavern – Downtown Los Angeles, CA)
"I'm happily working at Riordan's Tavern in Downtown Los Angeles. It's still so great to have your job postings, though, as they keep me informed on all the hottest new jobs around town, so I can stay on top of my options.Lastly, I just have to say that I owe so much to Andrew, a true mixologist instructor who knew how to make real artistic sense of mixing drinks, rather than just spouting ingredients and recipes. Thanks so much!"
Jabriel D.
"Dear NBS, Thank you very much for your job board postings. I recently replied to an ad from a hotel in Marina Del Rey. I went in for an interview and was hired a week later! "
Stephanie Jones
"From the first phone call to the school, Patty made me feel welcome and informed, she explained all aspects of the school and instantly I felt comfortable choosing National. Then the instructers Mario, Carlo and David were all highly knowledgeable, entertaining, patient and effective. I particularly LOVE the fact as a student I can be a life time member, can always come back in and practice and have the additional support of job placement assistance. The entire experience was so easy and fun and delivered even more than was promised. I highly recommend National Bartender's School of LA. "
