Where can i learn to bar tend?

Question

I'm a full time student but i need to get some money to pay for all of my stuff. whats a way i can learn bar tending without having to take a course?

Answer 1

A lot of places want experience. Familiarize yourself with drinks and alcohol. They sell books for bartending. Study up and even go to a bar and watch the bartender. Bartending is not fun at all. You have a BIG responsibility from cutting people off, to checking ID's, inventory, and learning the laws, according to your state. I'm a waitress and I have to be certified to serve alcohol. But you'll have to check your states laws.

Answer 2

find a bar that needs help

tell them you have no experience

if they need help bad enough they will hire you.

anyone can pour a beer, it's learning a few drinks

and how to deal with drunks that will take some time.

a hole in the wall bar not a fancy one is more likely to need untrained help

Answer 3

You can work at a beer and wine bar without training beyond what you would have as a waiter or waitress working at a restaurant that serves beer and wine.

To serve hard liquor, without training, you'd probably be hired as a c*cktail server, not a bartender. You might be able to work your way up to bartender though.

Good luck in this tight market. Lots of job seekers, not so many jobs.
