age and bartending - these are the essentials

This site will expose some of the myths of bartending jobs and show you the steps to getting your first bartending job. It can be fun and exciting and slow nights might not be so difficult but, if you have yourself a good bartending job at a busy, popular club or bar, you need to be prepared to work your tail off.

You need to learn the difference between shaken, stirred, on the rocks and straight up. Ice cubes must melt slowly or they will spoil the flavor of the drink by diluting it too quickly. Flair is also an important component of bartending.

Having fun while you work and smiling will attract attention and draw more clientele towards you. Combining both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, with different flavors to create new drinks for your customers to enjoy. Bartenders will also need to keep cloth on hand as well, to quickly clean up spills and wipe down the mixing area from time to time.

You are in the business of not only selling drinks but of selling yourself as well. The job is high paying, a lot of fun, and a great way to meet new people.
