Where is a good place to start bar tending? What type of establishment should I start with?!


Question: Where is a good place to start bar tending!? What type of establishment should I start with!?
Right now I am taking a 40 hour bar tending school!. The school does have job placement, but if I should happen to start looking for a job on my own!. Where is a good place to start!? What type of establishment should I start with!? A bar and grill like Chili's!? A night club!? A billiards hall!? A casino!? A pub!? A Strip club!?

Where can I go where my 40 hours of class is enough experience to start, without getting stomped on!? Or a place where the other bartenders won't mind a new guy joining in without a ton of experience!. And I don't want to start out as a barback!. Thanks in advance for your advice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
It depends on a few things!. Remember, bartending is mainly a sales job!. If you are dedicated to your craft and have the ability to connect with people you don't know, it can be a windfall!. It's all about finding the right situation for you!. A bartender with zero personality but a true blue collar work ethic can make boatloads in the club scene, but someone with a little more gift for gab and empathizing skills can make a ton in even a not-so-busy country club job!.

In the end it's more about what you can bring to the bartop and finding a spot that matches your skillset!. The sky is the limit with the right combination!Www@FoodAQ@Com

The best place to start is at a local dive bar!. They always have regular customers and serve basic drinks!. You will develop a lot of social experience in a place like this as well as time to experiment with drink recipes!. When you get some experience it will be easier to get a job at a restaurant or mainstream bar without starting as a bar back!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
