i just got finished with learning all the ropes and memorizing all the drinks (so many!!! i still don't even know them all.)

there's no bartending experience under my belt, this job will be (pretty much) a learning experience for me...it's a rather low key bar, which is great because it gives me time to hone my skills and develop a style . it'll give me the training i need to accumulate enough confidence to go some place really busy and demanding (with more tips!!!) so it's all good in with me 🙂

i'd never go into something unprepared, i became a hermit for the past two weeks to gain enough knowledge to land this job.

I would think that most people order the more common drinks and not so much the obscure ones, so, as long as you have the popular ones down pat, the other ones you could look up. Will they have a recipe book handy for quick reference?

Your refuge with your cocktail guide must have really paid off, along with your determination if you gained enough knowledge to get the job in just two weeks of cramming .... you did great !!!

Tip from a Martini drinker here ...... SHAKE vigoriously, do not stir 😉

You have the personality for it, you're very approachable and friendly. Gawd, if you could only imagine what secrets I've revealed to my bar-maid .. she knows more about me than my own mother did. The stories you'll be told will be endless entertainment. 🙂

Just watch Cocktail w/ Tom Cruise alot..that way you can get some good moves down

hate to tell you this but a bartender is not just a bartender he is also:

An entertainer
Counselor of sorts
Cupid (love middle man)
Security guard

People come to the bar because: they're lonely, looking for love, trying to find a hook up, in a fighting mood, or to vent, so you will end up being all things to these people. I bartended once back in college great dinero.
