When the night is over and the lights go up, everyone starts to trickle out the front door a little more broke than they were when they entered. In a bar, you will find an interesting and diverse community of people who will seek out fine bartending, not only for the relaxation and camaraderie, but also for a familiar and comfortable environment where they are recognized and accepted.
To be a great bartender, you have got to not only know how to make some of the most popular drinks out there, you will also need to know how to make some of the not so popular drinks, for those who enjoy them. Ice cubes must melt slowly or they will spoil the flavor of the drink by diluting it too quickly. If the bar tender believes the patron is becoming too inebriated, some feel it is the bar tender s responsibility to stop serving alcohol to that person.
You learn about the different types of liquors, the mixers that go with them, and the garnishes that add the finishing touch. There are schools that train people and help them find jobs in the bartending field. It gives you the basis to start your own experiments in the quest for the world s newest favorite drink.
In conclusion, bartending jobs are not as hard to get as it seems as long as you know what is important. Let's face it, to be good it takes more than just serving a good drink.
