How To Be a Bartender - What Do Bars Look When Hiring a Bartender?
Your work ethic is very important you have to roll your sleeves up and get some work done .
So What if I decide to work for someone else?
I know for us here in Liquid Kitty we prefer to hire somebody’s who’s matches our personality then has a ton of experience, will train them the way we want them to work at our place there’s nothing worse than hiring somebody who’s got twenty years of experience to come here and work with us and they’re gonna tell us how we should run but they’re not wrong the way they do things isn’t the wrong way to do it it’s just different and for us it doesn’t work that’s not how we want to do it, so there’s no right or wrong way to do it but we prefer to train somebody our way and have somebody and have somebody open minded i’d love to find somebody bartenders experience know we finds knows behind the bars and goes you wanna do it that way? Sure! I’d love to find that but it’s really tough so we’re always eager to hire somebody who's new, who's smart, hardworking really easy going and who can listen and can absorb like information like a sponge. - Damian (Kitty Liquid)
I guess it’s kinda bolth, I just, we just hired actually a couple of guys as like passers had never been in a restaurant business at all but they have such amazing personalities and they’re good people and that’s the one you wanna trust that people back here, there’s thousand of dollars back here you don’t want some douche back here just pour out booz just give it away to people, even if he's a bartender or not. So we hire based on that and they’re doing a fantastic job but then I’d hire bartenders that have worked you know for years and then just suck! because they have this attitude like, oh I wanna have my own shifts and that doesn’t work that way, you gotta start from the bottom and you know eventually someone's gonna fall off and you we’re gonna move you right in there because it all seniority that just how it works, specially little places like our hotels that how it is. - Laura ( Louie’s on Main)
Well I havin back working in established bar and then switching over to the I guess you could say the private sector in bartending I’ve notice some essential things that I look for bartenders, traditionally when you work at the bar essentially a person’s gonna go in there not necessary for the the bartender you gather for the drinks the food the atmosphere when we do our vans the difference is that if we’re not very, very efficient and we don’t take care of our client hundred percent we’re never going to get our call back again, so my main things that I look for our in a bartender are that a person, first of all that they are personable that they are helpful, they can try to connect with our guest every client that we have in the invent, you have that big smile just have a positive attitude your ethics is very important you have to be able to roll your sleeves up and get some work done, obviously there’s knowledge aspects that I want our bartender would know, you need to know, you need to know how to make basic drinks, things that people tend to ask for and also you have to keep up with new emerging drink that as everybody knows there’s always a new drinks there’s always a new drink that’s hot in town and you have to know that, you have to keep up with that and I would say that’s the really main aspects but as I said above all ours is your attitude you have to have the right attitude, if you don’t have that, you lost the job already. - Luis (Shake em up)
Trying to get a job as bartender... wish me luck
Any luck?
I didn't get the job :(. However... I did get a full time cooperate job. So I think that's waayyyyy better! I am terrified because this is my first big girl job.... Please wish me luck!
flykick1231 I really want to be a bartender so I'm gonna do that in a few years! 😄
@@flykick1231 So what happened? :D
You're lucky despite being a fun job you will not have to go through that gap in your young years. One thing I'll tell you is restaurant and bar enployees are most likely to become alcoholics. The job is both fun and stressful but it does change your life
I been working in hospitality and have over ten years of experience. I think all good bartenders are open-minded, personal able, and keep up with all industry information. My only peave is substandard work condistions but I still the same personable open-minded and I do my best to keep follow trends in the industry
Thank you guys for this video, it's really helped me out.
19 years old, starting bartending at a nightclub next week. Cant wait 😂
Aye nice bro good luck out there 👍
Good luck man!
Cheers guys, just finished my Saturday shift. Busy as fuck but honestly I love it.
Did you go to bartending school?
Hey what are the requirements to be a bartender?
Holy S#*T! I Just aced a entry level bartender interview with this info. I did not pretend to be anything special except for my willingness to learn, they needed help bad. Hope I get the gig! thanks guys, gals & awesome people who made this.
Did you get the job?
yes and no. the tips i used from you got me the yes. like being honest about my skill level and and lack of experience. the business called the day i was supposed to start and let me know that i was not needed after all. I no longer am interested in being involved with any restaurant or bar, people are people and i do not blame them. i am very grateful for not getting the job, but thank you for reaching out to me and following up. @@maximusperez5607
Did you get the job
I did my masters in physics but now I think bartending job is cooler than becoming a professor or researcher and obviously it's lot stress free job , i don't care what society thinks I'm gonna try it out
I do not think it is stress free. Busy nights are probably exhausting!
Same here I’m a mechanical engineer by day but I’m excited to try bartending!!
Bro keep your dreams becoming real,dont be a bartender its not worth it💀,unless you like it alot
I worked in my grandparents bar a long time ago in Detroit and it sucked I hated being around drunk people
They want to hire someone that is open minded but can’t be open minded themselves
Preach what you teach!!
I have been making and creating drinks for a while. Just have to learn a few common drinks. I'm good at it. I enjoy it. I'm thinking of interning at a bar where everyone knows and likes me. I know the game since I know the bartenders and learned how they got started.
I need to pay to get my degree in chemistry somehow.
OMG LAURA!!!!!! Adorable! Great team over there!
By the way, for anyone wondering: a lot of places hire up from barback to bartender in house. This is done because it helps the person trying to move up be familiar with internal processes, gaining the trust of the bar manager and showing a good working rapport with others. It also helps obviously to get you familiar with the tools, etc.
However.
It’s a fallacy to assume one could only be hired as a bartender if they’ve never bartended or barbacked. I think it’s unfair personally to people with excellent customer service skills that already have other full time work.
The bar industry is very unfair, unfortunately.
Thanks for the info!
I wanted to learn bartending
And then I took an arrow to the knee
They want Lucifer Morningstar like personality.
Hae Am from KENYA and I would to know how to mix Cocktails
Im actually wanting to work as a bartender
I think you need a mast card
@@Jesusweezy well yeah you have to do classes for the certificate n license
Do people starting out with a bar tending license with no bar tending experience, but have 2 plus years in being a barista (coffee)- does that count toward anything?
Having worked at Starbucks for a couple of years helped me become ambidextrous behind the bar. I also went to Bartending School and had a huge advantage when it came to speed and (not) spilling drinks. Not to mention you already have practice memorizing drink recipes. I was fortunate enough to have worked in a Starbucks within a hotel where I already had an excellent reputation as well as seniority. And now I am a bartender in the hotel's Sports Bar.
Short answer: Yes, it does count. Many people will agree that bartending is easier than being a barista.
Ana Thank you!
Well, maybe if you didn't put so much emphasis on experience you wouldn't have a know it all bartender!
I was wondering if someone knows of any places that hire bartenders or barbacks during the weekdays. I would love to works the weekends, but I already work at a place where I'm trying to get a bartending job. However, I need more hours, so I was wondering if any establishments would hire bartenders during the weekdays.
Ryan's Tasty Licks it’s all about actively looking. Upload a resume to indeed and aim it towards restaurant jobs.
Hire me!
I'm under 21 but if you get a license you can sale what do you need experience bartending?
grammar
Is there a difference between a man and a woman being a bartender like is there different rules you need to follow being a different gender
Just give the customers the drinks you wish to be free to drink those and you ll be sorprise with the results dont ever give a customer a weack drink or something.doesnt look good to you
I had a stroke reading that
Am I tripping out or is this video tiny af and in the corner only????
This video needs more cowbell
Lol you put liquid into a cup
So true! Putting liquid into a cup and handing it to a paying customer is NOT rocket science!
@@Cottagemould1 have you ever bartended? by your comment im guessing not lol. its not that simple. you have to remember recipes, do dishes, keep up on everyones drinks and remember what they were drinking, cash them out all while making the drinks for your servers because their tables ordered them, try it for a day in a busy bar and you'll drown
I'm sure that's all difficult, HA!
@Ellie O'Sullivan so would you say bartending is fun because I want to be one it's just I definitely have no experience I understand it will be hard work but I'm willing to do it
@Ellie O'Sullivan Kinda funny the fact that both jobs imply following specific procedures, measurements, fragile instruments and liquids
I have parkinsons, will they hire me?
Sure, if you stick to martinis
Im 13 and I am stressed about my Future.
Just from your comment I would say it sounds like you just actually care about your future which is a trait you shouldn't loose.Keep researching like you are doing now and you will be successful and most importantly happy with where you end up.
Write your goals down
@@chrisfinley333 Thanks
@@JunkerVlog I always do

The girl is really annoying
She's the type of bartender who has narcissistic attitude and asks her barback to do everything like she owns the place.
@@Amjad2 she talks about great personalities but has none
