I also have a question how can I get experience as a bartender to get recruited should I try at lower bars then try better ones

@Hungariangirl 16 күн бұрын

I'm not a bartender but I think you should start with a lower bar. Get some experience and climb higher. Good luck!

Bruuh. I bartended in Japan for a year and those short years I got job offers from Australia, New York, Another posh bar in Japan, Germany. All I did was smile, now I'm overwhelmed with choices. Bartending really is an experience bro

started working at a bar a year ago, never know much about bartering, but everything can be learnt with enough practice and time, now i am full on barman working in a czech bar, working around 30hours a WEEKEND, sure, i dont have much of a time to sleep but, if yall are willing to take the same way, enjoy your time behind the bar guys (btw i am not sure if you should call it a bartending class, would probably call it like bartender practice or sum, cuz drinks are just recepees, but bartender is the one that makes them good, and the bar popular, not sure if its just my view of the thing or not) wish yall a great time

@nelsonlam96 Ай бұрын

Absolutely right! thanks for sharing. Anyone can make drinks, but its the bartenders that make guests enjoy them!

im 16 and been wanting to be a bartender for two years. sure, i got a ways to go. but people like you are a big inspiration to me. its refreshing not being called a fool for being passionate about bartending. much love man, maybe ill see you in NY one day if i end up there

@AlebouZumu Ай бұрын

I have left 4 jobs coz I dnt enjoy working there. There is no vibe at all. Now m working again but I dnt enjoy it. I guess m gonna give my resignation and become a bar tender. Bartender life is great. Meeting new people every day n experiencing new things, enjoying the work at the same time… we r earning.👍 That’s life man.

@nelsonlam96 29 күн бұрын

It never hurts to try right? If you're not enjoying what you are doing, bring your talent elsewhere and yes its true. We meet a lot of people and most of the time, you will forget their names. ^^

I’ve been wanting to go to bartending school. But what holds me back is speed and multitasking. I still try. Even if they’re my weakness, can I still do it? People think it’s not respectable schooling to study for, but not for me.

@nelsonlam96 Ай бұрын

I'd say try it. Worst thing that can happen is you tried and learned something new

Dunno if this is the right thing for me im taking training but its only 4 days and the drinks we making well...the recipes ain't easy to remember, i got 0 expeirence and when i imagine myself working at a bad im getting cold feet as to the amount of pressure such as remembering recipies and the drinks itself Im kinda doubting myself but maybe if i do gain a bit expeirence then my perspective might change Im only doing bartender since im curious about it and wondering if its something i can like but no matter how much i think about it i prefer computers or video editing

@nelsonlam96 2 ай бұрын

Why not do both? If bartending is your curiosity, you can find a spot that lets you only work a day or two so it's not a big commitment. Plus, if you don't like it after a few weeks, then you can always quit. But I would say, once you get the hang of it, making drinks and talking to your regulars is really fun!

I want to hear your story about how you started that job and your beginnings in the first bar where you were hired, e.g., from deciding to become bartender to the first couple of months you working there: challenges, from where you learned, etc..

As a bartender myself, I can confidently say that it usually is beneficial for men to build themselves. But for women, it usually ruins them. It might sounds harsh but that's been my experience.

@nelsonlam96 2 ай бұрын

I agree. Bartending showers the girls with compliments and attracts a lot of unwanted attention but hey..

@forsi330 2 ай бұрын

do you think bartending course is worth it for someone who has 0 experience? i think it cost around 250$

For $250, I'll say it is worth. I paid more than that in NYC. Only if you have interest in it!

I studied international gastronomy and am going to the US with in the next 7 months or so, just need to finish working at this restaurant as a cook so I can get my degree bc I have to have labor hours in the kitchen to be able to graduate, and I honestly hate the kitchen, I had a couple classes of bartending, mostly the basics and the history, and I would like to get a bartender job in the US mainly because of the money and bc of the talking environment, I’m very social and love meeting ppl, but also I love licour and the air conditioning, bc I get really sweaty working in the heat of the kitchen, which I hate, but what worries me is if bartending is the same amount of stress as I am experiencing right now at the kitchen, everything in bartending is a green flag for me but that one thing worries me.

Been in training for my first bartending job at a new place opening next week. I find your videos and outlook to be encouraging and relatable. And I'm stoked to start! I also highly recommend How to Know a Person by David Brooks for more on human connection. Will definitely stop by for a drink on my next NY trip.

I am a bar back/bartender at a small town bar in East Texas during the weekend. Weekends at this bar are insane. I just got my TABC two weeks ago and I’m pretty new to making drinks, but they get easier to make the more I make them. I feel like I mix well with the patrons but it is common to not get tipped at this bar, so we don’t split tips. If they did, they would only get about $150 for each night. The most I’ve got in one weekend was $160 because I do not get to serve as many people since my main job is being the bar back. It’s a tough crowd to serve but I absolutely love it.

You totally hit the nail on the head whenever you mention just the shoe opportunity of being in a position like that. I was actually supposed to be a barista at a very unique café in Santa Monica California and I still regret it every day because I just feel like a coffee shop is definitely my vibe. I love coffee, but I think you can make pretty good money as well maybe even just as much as a bartenderat least out there you can not. You have so many Instagram influencers are coming through every day or business executives. Everybody loves coffee and I just couldn’t imagine the opportunity that would come being in that position if you were likable. I just got hired on as a bartender at a local Italian restaurant so I don’t think it’s going to be a lot of cocktails, but mostly pouring wine, however, I do want to get my foot in the door as a bartender. Even though I’m not a huge fan of super late nights, I feel like I’m floundering at 35 years old. I have a masters degree but I don’t really like my field of communications and I haven’t made much money. But I know I like people and I like being in sociable environments so I always felt drawn to either being a bartender, or something else that allows me to make decent money, but also provide experience

Hey Dan, thanks for sharing with us. Definitely go where fits your vibe! Whether it be coffee or the bar. I do see a lotta influencers and execs in our bar and it's interesting just people watching.
