How do I get started as a bartender?!
I'm 19 years old, and I just learned that it's legal for me to bartend, which is something that I've always had an interest in!. The drawback is that I have absolutely no knowledge about it at all!. I don't know anything about alcoholic beverages and nothing about bartending!. I don't want to go to bartending school unless that's the only way to do it, but I really just don't know how to go about it at all!. Any help would be greatly appreciated!. Thanks!. -piecyheartWww@FoodAQ@Com

Find out if any bars are hiring!. Usually you'll start out as a barback - that's where you keep the bar stocked for the bartender, get simple drinks like bottled and draft beer, and maybe make drinks for the cocktail waiters/waitresses!. Eventually you learn the tricks of the trade and work your way up to bartender!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
