Hey man, I've got a trial shift at a bar this weekend, so I'm binging your videos in case I miss something obvious, so thanks a lot! I've learned a ton of stuff thus far. Keep up the awesome content.
Great vid. You look a little bit like Tony Hawk bruh.
maybe he's Tony Hawk's bruh
you used to look like dennis from its always sunny and now you look like tony hawk, you have so many looks!
I kinda know when I'm gonna have to cut someone off so when I hand them the last drink I warn them that's gonna be there last one
+nordette Good point, I usually do the same. Cushions the blow. Should of thought to put that in here, thanks for sharing!
No prob, great vids by the way
BartendingPro hey can you do a video on getting fast. Especially if you get hired at a nightclub and need to deliver. Looking confident organizing, your bar, counting money. I'm still trying to get faster as a bartender but if I get hired to a severely high volume bar I haven't beem able to impress yet
@@redwolf481 the only way to get fast is to start slow, learn the pours/recipes accurately, and then to just do it.
Accuracy first, and the speed will come. It's always faster to make a drink correctly once than it is to remake a correct one.
Overboard l
Yeah, i typically never had problems when I refused service to someone because they were inherently drunk to a degree that I didn't feel comfortable. The ones that gave me the biggest problems were the ones that were hammered. Although, they are hammered, I never took it personally if they got upset because I know that they are hammered. Me simply saying it's against the law for me to serve someone who is intoxicated and saying it's no big deal, feel free to come on back another day or offer them a non-alcoholic beverage in a cup relating to what hard drinks are served from so they don't feel out of place in their social circles. I'm also a beast in stature so people don't throw their arms up in protest. These are great videos you put out.
This is helpful! I was used to working at bars that were more lenient and just kind of let people party, but now I work at a casino and they are very strict. We really can't let people get drunk and I have to cut people off all the time, and I hate it. I feel bad. So I wanted to see what you said in this! I think it's definitely a good idea to say it nicely instead of acting tough and possibly embarrassing them. Thanks for the video.
I generally don't enjoy cutting people off & it can be awkward, but it's liberating in some instances if the customer is loathsome.
Been cut off once, never let myself get that bad ever again.
If someone comes in drunk, it’s easiest to cut them off before they get started. Most of the people I cut off started somewhere else. If you give them one drink and then come to the conclusion half way through that drink they need to be cut off then it’s 10 times tougher.
My way of cutting someone off is when they ask me for a drink and i hand them water and smile at them and say , have some water and then let me know how u feel and most get the hint . Sometime i will just cash them out since they are obviously wasted and or acting like drunk assholes
That was the most useful video for me so far for learning bartending! Thank you!
Whats the song that keeps playing in the background? That shits a banger
Shared this with my entire staff. Great stuff
Always go with your gut feeling! It's always a smart procedure to try not to give them the receipt. A receipt says everything about what they drink and who their server was. Hopefully it's not your name as their server. another way around this is if you can add how many guests to a table always do 8 or more. Hopefully someone benefits from this are actually understands what I'm saying. let me work Jason been falling for a while. I hope you don't mind me spitting some knowledge.
Super helpful, thanks for making these videos.
This is great stuff. If only I had the balls to actually become a bar-tender
How do you approach a single person or a couple people in a group when cutting off? Do you call the other person to the side to make it more discreet? I find that the most challenging because you don't want to embarrass that cutoff person in front of the group. Any help is appreciated.
+dingdongdirtbag Good question.. I would assume that if they're getting cut off, then the group would understand why anyway and the person getting cut off would probably be too drunk to even care or control their emotions either way... I could easily see pulling them away from the group and talking with them "person-to-person" making things even more awkward considering you are still singling them out. Sometimes I believe that you just have to "call-it-like-you-see-it" even if there are witnesses around to notice and possibly cause embarrassment to the individual. Fact is, if you don't want to be embarrassed, then know your limit!!! haha.
+Mark Osterhout But, us as bartenders we need to be cautious when cutting someone off, because as a customer, there is nothing more frustrating than being cut-off before youre actually acting intoxicated. However, the way I look at it is, sort of like Beer Pong rules. In other words.. It's House Rules, meaning that customers should always give bartenders the respect that they deserve, because in those moments we as bartenders have the authority over them as Judge, Jury, and Executioner. You dont like it, then take your business elsewhere!
Once i was alone in the bar at a usual monday evening, at about 1 A.M. 35 german drunk kids came into the bar and started to all grabbing my attention and being quite the challenge, in that situation I had to cut off alcohol for everyone to avoid having called the cops on the bar for being to loud and misbehaving. One guy at that evening drafted his beer when I was busy doing something else and bragged in front of his friends, I did call this one out in front of his friends and told "if im seeing you one more time doing something like this im kicking you out", i didnt like to be that guy in that situation but sometimes if it gets overly busy you need to make decisions that focus on the well being of everyone and your bar.
But what if you ARE the manager? :(
Thank you alternate universe Tony Hawk
I'm a pretty skinny 26 year old guy and the worst for me is big obnoxious agro bros who always seem to want to fight me after I cut them off. Almost never fails no matter how I do it lol
music is awesome in this one :D
Come to Australia. We need a license haha
Even though I hear Fine ,When the musics Blaring ,Try to read lips,whatever, wright it down,maybe get a hearing Aid.What do you recommend?
I had a customer that was stumbling but kept ordering should I have cut him off?
YES
I meant behind the counter at a Bar? That's ok I wasn't specific.I could ask them to speak up but then you just have a bunch yelling at you.
if somebody does get cut off is it more about how they might be acting or how much they really drank?
+royalblue1193 Acting, unless like I mention, there is an ESTABLISHMENT based rate, like X# of drinks limit. Otherwise it's how someone is tolerating, or more specifically not tolerating their booze. Hypothetically, someone with a low tolerance can be done after like a beer a couple shots, vs someone with a huge tolerance might be able to put back 5, 6, 10 drinks before they get sloppy.
thanks
+BartendingPro Can the bartender still assume responsibility if a person with a high tolerance leaves the establishment, gets pulled over by an officer, and blows over the legal limit? Are we to make sure that the customer doesn't have too high of a blood-alcohol level before leaving? Is it our fault if they do?...
This is a good question. I'd be interested to know too.@TheDutchking90
This guy honestly looks like Tony Hawk, I do like his videos though.
Omg the only time i had to cut someone off, my mamager told me not ti serve him anymore. My dumbass didnt ask her, soooo what should i say? I just said ok and went back to work PRAYING he wouldnt order another drink. Well.... He did. Do you know what the f i told him? Yeah.... I was so nervous i told him, "Sir, i cant serve you anymore." Man:"whynot? ' Dumbass me :" Sir, your are slurring your words and have clearly had too much. " He was so insulted he went toy manager complained bec he was embarrassed (understandable) and insulted aaand my mamager gave him a gift certificate and me a harsh toung lashing. Im sure i said worse bec i was so nervous amd block3d it out. Lol Hence why im watching your video
