How much do bartenders make in Ireland?

Question

Can anyone give me any details on how much bartenders make on average in Ireland? Particularly, Dublin and Cork.

I'm from the States and am considering going to bartending school. My boyfriend is from Ireland and moving there is a likely possibility, but I have nothing else to "fall back on".

If anyone can give me any details it's appreciated!

Thanks

Answer 1

you'll need a visa and they are hard to come by. Thats another issue though. In Ireland we have minimum wage so you'll earn about €9.45/hr. There are not really tips on top of that. Bartending school is a stretch as it is mainly pints and shots as opposed to Manhattans etc.

Answer 2

hi you

i live in cork city on average bartenders now a days well min wage is 7.40 so you will have to get that anyway there is a lot of if`and but`s to your question here but it be up to 10.00 an hour and Even more in some cases its a lot to do with the bar and where it is located and who runs the bar and if they do lunch's and evening meals i earn almost  15 an hour and i would not class that as been great

Answer 3

I think you should come here and give it a SHOT-pardon the pun.

You should find it easy enough to get in, because Ireland(a bit less now) has a very liberal immigration policy.

They make good money.....DO it.

Answer 4

They don't earn very much, from what I can make out.

Answer 5

They earn too much. Sher half of them can't even pour a decent pint of plain. They think they're pulling a pint of that lager muck.
