The experience was pleasant and had a lot of fun learning drinks and the trade in general.
First off, if you're thinking ABC then don't. That location was ran down and in a bad neighborhood.
Don, the instructor is like your awkward but funny uncle. He is consistent in the way he teaches (day or night class get the same info) and will recite with the class important things to know. He recites things in memorable and meaningful ways to help you memorize. He knows his stuff that's for sure.
And memorize you will. Memorize whichever way that suites you. The flashcard thing didn't help me and if you're not good at remembering things then study everyday. But I found memorizing easy to do.
Now, I am off to find a bar gig. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
