@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman also thank you for the videos, I'm starting a 2 week placement, at a cocktail bar starting Monday, so I'm gaining as much knowledge as I can so I don't feel like a complete potato when I go, your videos are so helpful
1. Learn the skills and get knowledgable 2. Memorize your drink recipes (you only need to memorize 50-60 to get hired) 3. Goal-setting 4. Create a powerful cover letter and resume 5. Hit the pavement (follow a plan to get a bartending job quickly) 6. Follow-up 7. Nail the interview
You need to learn about mixology and if you literally know nothing go be a barback first. You can learn on the job and do research in your own time. You’ll be the best bartender they’ve ever seen in no time if you really commit to the grind.
When I went to the bartending school, I was fresh from Romania, didn’t speak the language and I had to learn 140 drinks. I have been a bartender for 6 years now. Make sure you don’t work in a depressive crowd kind of bar, go somewhere where people are happy. The rest will fall into place if you put the effort in.
Nice accident you stumbled into there Noa. No matter what happens, just know that when the event is over, you'll know more than you did at the start, and now you'll have some experience to put on your resume. It's a good thing. You'll do fine.
I’ve been a bartender for over 25 years, and now a bar manager. First of all, save your money, and do NOT go to a bartending school !! The only way to learn is by actually getting behind the bar, and learning how to pour drinks, interacting with customers, and keeping your area clean, stocked and organized ! If you have to start by being a server, or bar back , well do it, it won’t take long to step up if you’re really wanting to become a bartender. Listen to this man, he’s spot on ! Always treat your customers like they’re your new bff, that’s how you get regulars, and that’s where you start making money ! Never let them see you mad, frustrated, having a bad day, etc…. Listen to their problems, they don’t want to hear yours ! Listen to us veteran bartenders, we know what we’re talking about, we haven’t been in this business for our health for sure !! It can really be fun if you let it ! 10:33
@@brielziebub I will agree and can see how you would say they are similar, but Alcohol is a whole another world, also you are wanting the customer to stay. Basically its different mindsets, and customers. Then there is the whole tips thing. Confidence and consistency.
Took this guys course within 2 weeks I became a Bartender at one of the busiest bars in south Florida (with no previous experience). Seriously if you want to become a bartender this guys course its more than worth it.
I appreciate the kind words Dominick, and I can't tell you how fired up I am for you. I love a happy ending (get y'all's mind out of the gutter; you know what I mean). Knock 'em dead Dominick!
@@KleWdSide The office in Delray beach FL. come see me I’ve been working as a bartender for 3 months. Learned everything from Dave’s course. Your just scared to make a move.
What is amazing is bartending may not be hard like other professions yet so many are not good. So maybe it is not as easy as people believe. It is like cooking. Everyone cannot cook even with a recipe. Good information.
Very good analogy Miss Girl. Creating great drinks certainly takes a refined skill. For those who do become bartenders, fingers crossed that they receive good training.
Yeah you are so right its like cooking , you can say cooking is not brain surgery but there is a knack you have to have for cooking passion for the taste of the food and the outcome.
This is so well-rounded! I never expected to hear about goal setting and the power of the follow up outside of sales. Definitely the best bartending info on UA-cam. Thank you
Thanks for the kind words Anthony. It's true that everybody trying to become a bartender is focused on the wrong thing. There's a formula that works, no matter what industry you're going into. All you have to do is take the action. Take care!
Very grateful for this video!!!! This was my first video I clicked on once I decided to learn about bartending, and I received way more than I imagined! I have finally decided to try and pursue a career in bartending. I always believed I had the qualities to be successful at this job, and you just confirmed that! I’m anxious to dive into your free course asap and learn what more there’s for me to learn! Being a foreigner and not having my support system on this continent, made me take longer, but frequent compliments about my accent made me realize that my difference (ex-insecurities) can maybe be turned into an advantage 😁. So thank you so much mr Allred for taking time to share your experience! I hope it makes your day knowing that one video alone already made a huge difference in me! Stay blessed!
Thanks for the kind words Laurushka. It does make my day that I'm helping you out in some way. Keep forging ahead and you'll eventually arrive at your destination. It's impossible not to when you never stop. Cheers.
@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman appreciate your reply! I purchased your course and just finished reading “Guess Who’s Back” section. Love your honest, funny, and brutally honest writing style! 😄
My man, Anthony! Congrats! Another success story. Your biggest downfall won't be your inexperience, it will be your limiting beliefs and doubting yourself. Time to stop doubting and just continue to take daily action and chip away until you get what you want. Learn all you can as a barback, and then keep it your goal to become a bartender. Don't get stuck as a barback forever.
not like it is a big deal to be a barback. Idk where u live but for example in London u could get a barback job in like 1 hour. Even in a big prestige bar. Not a big deal at all. Many of the barbacks cant even speak english. I consider this job equal to a kitchen porter... the lowest level of hospitality... nothing special... get promoted to be a bartender is like a couple of months maximum... if you speak english and ur not completely retarded (like 80% of hospitality ppl actually ARE) of course. So do not think about it as a wonderfully great achievment like being a brain surgeon or something... cuz man.. its not like that... And a lot of people complaining about the low salary and shit.. cmon .. XD U just fucking need to know your place in society thats all... other ppl are put a lot of effortnin their lives while you just.... basically serve drinks bro.. thats it..
Thanks for the reply Matthew. We appreciate you taking the time out from calculating launch trajectories and feeding the homeless at the neighborhood soup kitchen to kindly judge our aspirations and successes. I know your UA-cam channel must be a front for the actual secret and successful life you lead, because all I see on there are subscriptions and liked videos of bands, fantasy gaming sites--with lots of goblins and warlocks battling middle earth, etc... So while I think your advice to Anthony that “U just need to know your fucking place…” as well as your insightful and grammatically acute observation that “other ppl are put a lot of effortnin their lives…” is extremely valuable and constructive, I’m not sure how much mentorship Anthony is seeking from a jobless, gaming 30-year old living in his parents’ basement stroking his guitar and watching wizard gaming videos and the TBS Harry Potter marathon. Cheers (or as Harry would say, “Expecto Patronum”) Dave
You had me at the “I gotchu” I laughed at the “How you doin?” And I was in tears at “It’s M A G I C… that’s a rainbow” honestly the best video I’ve ever seen for people interested in this type of career
Our bartender just quit, and I was asked to help, I have been a hostess, and I don't drink at all, and I felt awkward, but just started listening to people and made it through the day. I'm here for a 101 class 😊
Honestly the application take is very very real. Every kitchen job I’ve ever worked I don’t think I’ve actually filled out an application. Just went in there saying I’m looking for a job here’s my resume and my experience “if you could have quick word about any open positions that would be great” has worked every damn time.
90% less? Ouch Khris! Sounds like you do need something new. Sometimes it takes something negative to happen to motivate us and push us in another direction, so what seems like unfair events in our life, turns out to be the best thing that ever happened because it sparks change. And change is good. Best of luck Khris.
Just signed up for your course, glad I decided to do it today because it was almost closed!! I'm so excited to learn from you and your successes in the industry. Recently I did interview for a position which I did fib a little saying I tended for a few months, a few years back, cause NYC is brutal if you don't have experience in almost any industry. So I want to really make sure when I step behind the bar I don't seem completely lost. Hopefully I make it past my trial shift. Will keep you posted!!
Welcome to the tribe, robertjayp. Great to have you. There's never been a better time to land a bartending job than now with the labor shortage. Get out there and kill it, and let us all know when you land that job. Cheers.
@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman Landed one job less than 2 weeks after signing up for TRBC. And just landed my second job today, as long as I don't completely screw it up, that is. I live in NYC so that's a standard way of talking to a new employee LOL Thanks for everything man! You've really helped change my life. IN 2 WEEKS!!!! WHAT?!?! DAVE IS THE REAL DEAL! Without this course I'm not sure I would've had the balls to walk in and present myself the way I did with 0 experience. Also, I lied on my resume because nobody in NYC will hire a bartender without experience and even getting barback/server positions is HARD. So that just says wonders because I've managed to work a couple shifts and not look or feel like an idiot.
@@robertjayp Amazing what you can do when you decide to stop thinking about doing something and actually taking action to do it. So glad that the course helped you achieve your goal. Congrats!
I've been told for a while now, since I graduated High school c/o 2015 by older co-workers that they thought I would make a good bartender. Personally I don't see it, but lately I've been considering it. Thanks for the advice.
I recently finished a Flair Bartending course, and I can't wait to start working! Your video has some pretty valid points, so thank you for taking your time to give us those tips. I have a few goals already, such as owning a bar in the future. But I guess I'll enjoy making my fair share of drinks first :)
I been bartending part time at a hotel for about 2 months now. I just landed a bartender job at one of the busiest restaurants in the state. I’m a need all the knowledge I can get.
He's right, the follow up is important and most bar managers are so busy they can't remember who they interviewed. So you kind of have to help them by showing up inquiring and getting a hard yes or no. Also they will give you feedback as to why they didn't hire you.
It's all about who you know, and proving you can kick ass... network, network, network! Get to know people in the business. I was a server for 6 years and wanted badly to break into the business. A friend led me to a position serving weddings and events, and I basically made myself the barback... need glasses? I gotchu! Need cases of beer? I gotchu! Bar never shared tips with servers, but they were so appreciative they agreed to tip out to me. Honestly, all I wanted was a chance to try it out. One day they hadn't scheduled enough bartenders for this huge event, and as I was barbacking, my manager said ok Sarah, we need you to hop on the tiki bar. It was pure chaos, but it gave me the confidence from then on that I could handle anything thrown at me. Network and kick ass, and eventually someone will give you a shot.
If l have no experience before in bartending , how can I make powerful resume and cover letter to impress the employer? If I have no experience ,how to be hired?
You got me with just the Video, I will Definity be taking the course, signing up tomorrow, I'm a F & B Supervisor, I have dipped and dabbed in bartending over the course of 20 years, just never settled on the Profession, my customer service stills are excellent, now I wish to complete my skills with the gift of Tending Bar as I service my customers or a least be comfortable enough to know that the employees are comfortable and knowledgeable on the subject and have the skills to Proform well.
I just got hired as a bartender and they are fully aware I have zero knowledge or experience. I am working full-time in technology consulting though, and I basically have just always wanted to be a bartender.
Hey Dave! Two questions: I have recently been thinking about making the switch to bartending but my recent background is in tech. The two fields couldn't feel more different. Do you know of folks who have made this drastic of a switch? I also have a background in social services, specifically working in homeless shelters. Through those years, I developed incredible de-escalation skills. So my question is: how often are these skills needed at a bar? Is this a skill worth bringing up in an interview? Or putting on a cover letter?
2nd interview with O'Charleys later today. I didn't exactly take less than 21 days on my particular journey (really more my own fault, and a little bad luck), so it feels like i have a holy grail near my hand. Thank you for your content Dave Allred!
Result: I was informed they were fully staffed at this time, but they'd keep my resume on hand. Luckily i got an email from another place i applied for, I could get another interview scheduled.
Haha i don't plan on stopping. I'm happy that there's actually places interviewing me. I squeezed some experience from working with a catering company on the side, so....I plan to keep swinging my bat and following up with employers. I would be damned if i spent the rest of my life writing loans.
There are a lot questions I want to ask, but one or two things come to mind: 1) Do I need a license or certificate if I plan to become a bartender? 2) Must I taste test some or few alcoholic drinks?
Hey Selena, to answer your questions: 1) I have a video on that right here: ua-cam.com/video/BsD4O7_Qq58/v-deo.html 2) Yes, definitely! Take a straw and hold your finger on the end to get just a bit so you can taste what you're making and make adjustments until you feel comfortable. I still taste-test all my margaritas because I want them that perfect balance of not too sweet and not too sour.
Oh man. Went to bartending school last month, already worked a few high volume bartending shifts for an event company, and still shitting my pants when the new work flows through.
Bartenders are usually in short supply. Walk up somewhere where they look for people. Even with zero knowledge they usually give you a chance. If you manage to not be a tripping hazard and do some stuff during the first two nights you'll be fine. - Also don't be afraid of quitting and going somewhere else if the clientele, coworkers, management, style, music, location, tips, equipment or whatever else is not what you're looking for. There are plenty different places and being "in the right place" makes a HUGE difference.
I’m glad I found this video I’m going to watch the rest of your videos as well 🤗 I’m moving to las Vegas in about 2 months and would like to bartend to bring in additional income. I still want to go to bartending school but I want to learn as much a I can before hand.
So my goal is to be an emt but I would very much like to do this on the side I won't a colorful life one I can be satisfied with and I think your tips can help thank brother
If I wanted to sell something to people who wanted to start in the restaurant business as a bartender, these are the things I would say. First of all, bartending is not easy. It requires a range of skills and at least a modicum of personality. Second, if an establishment is hiring bartenders with no experience, it probably not a great place to be a bartender. Once professionals get a hold of preferred shifts, they hold on to them, sometimes for years. When they leave, the next bartender up moves in. If it's a good bar, others in the bartending community hear about it and open slots are filled by experienced bartenders. So how do you get experience? Start at a restaurant with a bar and become a server. Notify management you are interested in a bartending position. Then master the skills of being a server (also not easy) which are analogous to bartending. If you are good, you will be the next to step up. Or try a hotel. They may hire a bartender with no experience, because the bar at that particular hotel may not be busy and, as above, no good bartending job is handed to someone with no experience. Honestly, I became a bartender by being a regular at a bar. I knew they wouldn't make me a bartender, but having made friends with the managers, I asked if they would lie when someone checked my references and say I had experience. I went to bartending school, so I didn't look like a complete asshole on my first day (it wasn't until my 5th day when they asked me to change a keg, which they didn't teach), and I never put it on a resumé. The only thing worse than having no experience is having bartending school on a resumé. I got a job at a hotel bar. Then another hotel. Then someone liked me and recruited me into management at a large establishment. I learned about the business. Managed a few establishments and returned to bartending. Now I own and operate a bar and restaurant and still bartend 4 nights a week, because I love what I do, I'm good at it, and owning a restaurant is less lucrative than bartending. At least for now. Bartending is an art that requires dedication. Every career bartender will tell you they still watch and learn from other bartenders. If a bartender tells you their job is easy, they are either not good at it or trying to sell you something.
Thanks for the comment Toad. Let me address your thoughts one at a time: 1) First off, please don't tell me bartending is difficult. You can work 25 - 30 hours per week and make $60,000 per year mixing liquid and pouring it into a glass. Yes, that's oversimplifying...it takes some skill to make the drinks correctly and you must provide good customer service, but it's not like engineering or brain surgery or being covered up in your neck with grease rebuilding a carburetor. It's simple, and anyone can learn it and do it well. Anyone who thinks bartending is a difficult job--mixing drinks for $50 - $60 per hour---I can't imagine what they'd do if they had to re-tar freeways all summer. Give me a job that makes as much money that is easier than bartending. 2) I have hired hundreds of bartenders and servers, through my own bar and through my clients I consult for, and we hire inexperienced bartenders and servers all the time so we can mold them and train them through our program. We hire experienced ones too, but sometimes those "professional" bartenders can be jaded and they haven't even been trained well (plus, 95% of them steal), so bars that hire inexperienced bartenders could be a lower-level bar, or they could have a good training program, but even if they are lower-level, that's ok in the beginning. You just need somewhere to learn and gain experience so you can put it on your resume for the next bar your apply to. 3) You are correct, managers don't give a shit if you put bartending school on the resume. The purpose of my course and what I do to help people is to get their foot in the door. Like you said, hotels are one good option, but there are plenty of places who will hire someone with a good personality and train them. Once their foot is in the door, they can gain experience and level-up and find better and better bars to work at. And yes, getting a serving job first is also a decent route to take, but my students are able to follow the plan and actually get hired as a bartender, and then they're on their way to leveling-up. Those are my thoughts on the matter. I'm not writing this in a disrespectful tone...I just want people to realize that we have found great success in helping aspiring bartenders take some action so they can get their foot in the door, jump behind a real bar, which is the quickest way to learn and gain experience. That's what differentiates my course from others: I'm not promising to give you all the experience you need. I'm giving you enough skills and knowledge so you don't look like a jackass, just like you stated Toad (by the way, I do teach how to change a keg) and then I give you a plan to get hired which is the quickest path to get the experience you need. Cheers, Dave
@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman it is true that a bartender can make $50 to $60 per hour working 25 to 30 hours a week for over 60k per year. That is easy money for someone equipped to do the job. Another job where you can make easy money is being a Major League Baseball player. Mike Trout is going to make over $33 million this year. Even more astounding, he only has to work 8 months a year. Watching him play makes it look effortless. Clearly he just decided he was going to be a major league ballplayer and went for it. But you've hired "hundreds" of inexperienced bartenders who have achieved success. Let's take your word for it. "Hundreds" at least implies 200. I won't attempt to guess how long you've been in this business by your age, but let's give you a generous estimate at 20 years. Along with experienced bartenders (who you claim 95% to be thieves) you have shoehorned in 10 totally inexperienced bartenders a year. I have been hiring bartenders for at least 15 years and I can say I am well under 30 total. Why do you have to hire so often? If you were right about 100% of your hires, where did they go? Did they reach a point of experience that included them in your 95%? Or was a plucky attitude not good enough to be a skilled bartender? You mentioned in another video that someone presenting you with a resumé (one of your sacred tenets) including bartending school prompts you to, in front of them, crumple it up and laugh in their face. Even though you encourage people to work toward their goals, if they didn't take your version of bartending school which involves zero hands on training they are not only completely unworthy of consideration, they should be subject to ridicule. Pretty dick move. I have worked with a lot of bartenders who are professionals dedicated to a career they value enough to constantly improve. They make "easy money" because they have worked hard to attain a level of employment worthy of their skill. Experienced bartenders don't need to steal to make money and wouldn't dream of doing it because risking their access to those jobs makes no sense. You've got a lot of balls calling us thieves when you openly admit you put your thumb over the vent hole of a pour spot to short pour people you don't like. To anyone who wants to be a real bartender, there are ways to attain petty retribution to someone you don't want to stay at your bar that don't involve you stealing from them. The reason you feel 95% of experienced bartenders are thieves is because you want to justify your questionable conduct. Just a heads up, we're not like you. Also, we don't like you. You cheapen our profession.
Toad Hall lol you actually just said being a pro baseball player is easy? You must have half a brain if that. If being a pro in any sport was easy money everyone would do it. Moronic argument
@@micahfrigo1024 I think you may have missed Toads point... People that are good at something Make It Look easy... doesn't mean it is. Just because a good bartender makes the job look effortless doesn't mean it doesn't take a lot of patience, effort, skill gained through practice, and wisdom gained through experience. You're right... if pro sports were easy everyone would be an athlete... if bartending were easy, every ditz and moron with half a personality that thought they could hang behind my bar would still be there... just my 2 cents
I work at Red Robin and they have a bar there and I think it looks interesting to learn about it despite me not into alcohol I always wanted to make a drink for myself or to just learn in general.
I want to comment on the 5th follow-up. I have a felony. It's really hard for me to find a job. The job I found was only aquired after I showed up time after time, 5xs actually!! I started out in the dish out, got promoted to prep cook, eventually transferred to consessions(I work at Roadhouse Cinemas in Tucson AZ), and after a lot of persistence and showing that I really wanted a shot, I finally got a shot at bartending. I'm mid training right now, but I did it!! My advice for any goal, keep trying!!
This is awesome Clarence. This is exactly why I teach this in the course. Nobody realizes the power of the follow-up. Managers LOVE it when they see someone so committed that they don't give up. It's the sign of a great employee. Thanks for sharing your story.
Oh gawd!!! I watched this video and applied for bartending. I have no experience other than restaurant experience opening wines and pouring beers, but never made cocktails.... and I got a job as a bartender!!! It was actually really easy!!! Just sell yourself!!!

You do realize, Jimmy, that when I say "Literally millions of dollars in tips" that I say "collectively". I've had more than 10,000 people go through my course, so as a collective group they are earning millions. I'm not claiming that you will make millions yourself. I want to make sure that statement isn't taken out of context.
Im so very interested to become a bartender someday after i graduate. I pursuing Bachelor of science hotel and management and i also much more time flairing and mixing cocktails im so happy to get an information about to become a bartender
Im doing this so I can be a basic bartender for my family and friend's weddings. I dont want them paying thousands for a bar and bartender. Just pay give me a place to be and for the drinks and ice. I'll do all the mixing and stuff for 50 bucks and maybe a bottle myself to take home hehe

What is amazing is bartending may not be hard like other professions yet so many are not good. So maybe it is not as easy as people believe. It is like cooking. Everyone cannot cook even with a recipe. Good information.
Very good analogy Miss Girl. Creating great drinks certainly takes a refined skill. For those who do become bartenders, fingers crossed that they receive good training.
Yeah you are so right its like cooking , you can say cooking is not brain surgery but there is a knack you have to have for cooking passion for the taste of the food and the outcome.
Most People just suck at everything just look at how people drive
This is so well-rounded! I never expected to hear about goal setting and the power of the follow up outside of sales.
Definitely the best bartending info on UA-cam. Thank you
Thanks for the kind words Anthony. It's true that everybody trying to become a bartender is focused on the wrong thing. There's a formula that works, no matter what industry you're going into. All you have to do is take the action.
Take care!
Good info
Very grateful for this video!!!! This was my first video I clicked on once I decided to learn about bartending, and I received way more than I imagined! I have finally decided to try and pursue a career in bartending. I always believed I had the qualities to be successful at this job, and you just confirmed that! I’m anxious to dive into your free course asap and learn what more there’s for me to learn! Being a foreigner and not having my support system on this continent, made me take longer, but frequent compliments about my accent made me realize that my difference (ex-insecurities) can maybe be turned into an advantage 😁. So thank you so much mr Allred for taking time to share your experience! I hope it makes your day knowing that one video alone already made a huge difference in me! Stay blessed!
Thanks for the kind words Laurushka. It does make my day that I'm helping you out in some way. Keep forging ahead and you'll eventually arrive at your destination. It's impossible not to when you never stop. Cheers.
@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman appreciate your reply! I purchased your course and just finished reading “Guess Who’s Back” section. Love your honest, funny, and brutally honest writing style! 😄
I’m showing this to my 18 year old kids just for advice! This is awesome . Thank you!
Been a bouncer atta night club for years, just recently thought bout bartending . Appreciate the info and motivation
Man, I doubted the hell out of you (and me), but after 11 days, I got my first job as a barback. Here’s hoping the bartending is coming soon!
My man, Anthony! Congrats! Another success story. Your biggest downfall won't be your inexperience, it will be your limiting beliefs and doubting yourself. Time to stop doubting and just continue to take daily action and chip away until you get what you want. Learn all you can as a barback, and then keep it your goal to become a bartender. Don't get stuck as a barback forever.
Well, after 6 days of working as a barback, putting in the work, I have been promoted to bartender!
Way to go Anthony! That's awesome. Thanks for the update.
not like it is a big deal to be a barback. Idk where u live but for example in London u could get a barback job in like 1 hour. Even in a big prestige bar. Not a big deal at all. Many of the barbacks cant even speak english. I consider this job equal to a kitchen porter... the lowest level of hospitality... nothing special... get promoted to be a bartender is like a couple of months maximum... if you speak english and ur not completely retarded (like 80% of hospitality ppl actually ARE) of course. So do not think about it as a wonderfully great achievment like being a brain surgeon or something... cuz man.. its not like that... And a lot of people complaining about the low salary and shit.. cmon .. XD U just fucking need to know your place in society thats all... other ppl are put a lot of effortnin their lives while you just.... basically serve drinks bro.. thats it..
Thanks for the reply Matthew.
We appreciate you taking the time out from calculating launch trajectories and feeding the homeless at the neighborhood soup kitchen to kindly judge our aspirations and successes.
I know your UA-cam channel must be a front for the actual secret and successful life you lead, because all I see on there are subscriptions and liked videos of bands, fantasy gaming sites--with lots of goblins and warlocks battling middle earth, etc...
So while I think your advice to Anthony that “U just need to know your fucking place…” as well as your insightful and grammatically acute observation that “other ppl are put a lot of effortnin their lives…” is extremely valuable and constructive, I’m not sure how much mentorship Anthony is seeking from a jobless, gaming 30-year old living in his parents’ basement stroking his guitar and watching wizard gaming videos and the TBS Harry Potter marathon.
Cheers (or as Harry would say, “Expecto Patronum”)
Dave
You had me at the “I gotchu” I laughed at the “How you doin?” And I was in tears at “It’s M A G I C… that’s a rainbow” honestly the best video I’ve ever seen for people interested in this type of career
Our bartender just quit, and I was asked to help, I have been a hostess, and I don't drink at all, and I felt awkward, but just started listening to people and made it through the day. I'm here for a 101 class 😊
Honestly the application take is very very real. Every kitchen job I’ve ever worked I don’t think I’ve actually filled out an application. Just went in there saying I’m looking for a job here’s my resume and my experience “if you could have quick word about any open positions that would be great” has worked every damn time.
Its about 6am, im up heading to work after finding out my bonus check was about 90% less than expected....i need something new.
90% less? Ouch Khris! Sounds like you do need something new. Sometimes it takes something negative to happen to motivate us and push us in another direction, so what seems like unfair events in our life, turns out to be the best thing that ever happened because it sparks change. And change is good. Best of luck Khris.
Just signed up for your course, glad I decided to do it today because it was almost closed!! I'm so excited to learn from you and your successes in the industry. Recently I did interview for a position which I did fib a little saying I tended for a few months, a few years back, cause NYC is brutal if you don't have experience in almost any industry. So I want to really make sure when I step behind the bar I don't seem completely lost. Hopefully I make it past my trial shift. Will keep you posted!!
Welcome to the tribe, robertjayp. Great to have you. There's never been a better time to land a bartending job than now with the labor shortage. Get out there and kill it, and let us all know when you land that job. Cheers.
@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman Landed one job less than 2 weeks after signing up for TRBC. And just landed my second job today, as long as I don't completely screw it up, that is. I live in NYC so that's a standard way of talking to a new employee LOL
Thanks for everything man! You've really helped change my life. IN 2 WEEKS!!!! WHAT?!?!
DAVE IS THE REAL DEAL! Without this course I'm not sure I would've had the balls to walk in and present myself the way I did with 0 experience. Also, I lied on my resume because nobody in NYC will hire a bartender without experience and even getting barback/server positions is HARD. So that just says wonders because I've managed to work a couple shifts and not look or feel like an idiot.
@@robertjayp Amazing what you can do when you decide to stop thinking about doing something and actually taking action to do it. So glad that the course helped you achieve your goal. Congrats!
Sounds fake.
Currently working as a barback at a popular nightclub in my city, working my way up to bartending. This video was very informative.
Did you become a bartender? You should have had the time to learn by now if you kept going.
I've been told for a while now, since I graduated High school c/o 2015 by older co-workers that they thought I would make a good bartender. Personally I don't see it, but lately I've been considering it. Thanks for the advice.
How cool! I grew up in Walnut Creek. Learning about bartending now as a side gig.
I recently finished a Flair Bartending course, and I can't wait to start working! Your video has some pretty valid points, so thank you for taking your time to give us those tips. I have a few goals already, such as owning a bar in the future. But I guess I'll enjoy making my fair share of drinks first :)
I was never any good a the flair. Probably would have hit myself in the head with a bottle. I'll leave the flair to you Deus.
I been bartending part time at a hotel for about 2 months now. I just landed a bartender job at one of the busiest restaurants in the state. I’m a need all the knowledge I can get.
Great vid! I'm 14 years old and I'm still in secondary school, in the future I hope that I will be a bartender!👍🏻
me too!!
aada same lmaoo
same lol
He's right, the follow up is important and most bar managers are so busy they can't remember who they interviewed. So you kind of have to help them by showing up inquiring and getting a hard yes or no. Also they will give you feedback as to why they didn't hire you.
Good point about getting feedback from the hiring manager. That information is like gold!
@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman YOU"RE AWESOME!
"yea how ya doin "love ya man 😂😂😂😂
It's all about who you know, and proving you can kick ass... network, network, network! Get to know people in the business. I was a server for 6 years and wanted badly to break into the business. A friend led me to a position serving weddings and events, and I basically made myself the barback... need glasses? I gotchu! Need cases of beer? I gotchu! Bar never shared tips with servers, but they were so appreciative they agreed to tip out to me. Honestly, all I wanted was a chance to try it out. One day they hadn't scheduled enough bartenders for this huge event, and as I was barbacking, my manager said ok Sarah, we need you to hop on the tiki bar. It was pure chaos, but it gave me the confidence from then on that I could handle anything thrown at me. Network and kick ass, and eventually someone will give you a shot.
Love this Sarah! You nailed it perfectly. You did everything necessary to get to your goal. And of course, I love the "Whatever you need, I gotchu!"
If l have no experience before in bartending , how can I make powerful resume and cover letter to impress the employer? If I have no experience ,how to be hired?
ramprasad sapkota That’s exactly what I teach in the course.
You got me with just the Video, I will Definity be taking the course, signing up tomorrow, I'm a F & B Supervisor, I have dipped and dabbed in bartending over the course of 20 years, just never settled on the Profession, my customer service stills are excellent, now I wish to complete my skills with the gift of Tending Bar as I service my customers or a least be comfortable enough to know that the employees are comfortable and knowledgeable on the subject and have the skills to Proform well.
Right on Jacquelyn! Knock 'em dead.
When you said I gotchu I liked
When he said " I gotchu" my heart said, ok I found exactly where I need to be, and I settled in
I just got hired as a bartender and they are fully aware I have zero knowledge or experience. I am working full-time in technology consulting though, and I basically have just always wanted to be a bartender.
Same here. 1yr ago now, how’s your experience?
Hey Dave! Two questions:
I have recently been thinking about making the switch to bartending but my recent background is in tech. The two fields couldn't feel more different. Do you know of folks who have made this drastic of a switch?
I also have a background in social services, specifically working in homeless shelters. Through those years, I developed incredible de-escalation skills. So my question is: how often are these skills needed at a bar? Is this a skill worth bringing up in an interview? Or putting on a cover letter?
I just gave myself a dutch oven and its kinda nice
😎
U sound like Tony Robbins dude. Good vid.
Don't know about that, but I'll take it. Thanks.
Yup, and I start Saturday afternoon
2nd interview with O'Charleys later today. I didn't exactly take less than 21 days on my particular journey (really more my own fault, and a little bad luck), so it feels like i have a holy grail near my hand. Thank you for your content Dave Allred!
Atta kid, Jim. 2nd interview is a very good sign in this industry. It's not like the corporate world. Let me know how it goes.
Result: I was informed they were fully staffed at this time, but they'd keep my resume on hand.
Luckily i got an email from another place i applied for, I could get another interview scheduled.
Never stop! Never stop! Never stop! Do you see a pattern here?
Haha i don't plan on stopping. I'm happy that there's actually places interviewing me. I squeezed some experience from working with a catering company on the side, so....I plan to keep swinging my bat and following up with employers. I would be damned if i spent the rest of my life writing loans.
@@revolvichouseSo where are you now ? Haha
There are a lot questions I want to ask, but one or two things come to mind:
1) Do I need a license or certificate if I plan to become a bartender?
2) Must I taste test some or few alcoholic drinks?
Hey Selena, to answer your questions:
1) I have a video on that right here: ua-cam.com/video/BsD4O7_Qq58/v-deo.html
2) Yes, definitely! Take a straw and hold your finger on the end to get just a bit so you can taste what you're making and make adjustments until you feel comfortable. I still taste-test all my margaritas because I want them that perfect balance of not too sweet and not too sour.
@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman nah you gotta taste at least an oz worth
I really want to learn so im going to do my best to learn
I had my bartender training today and I was so lost lol
And how are you now, Dayni? Any better?
Thats what I’m experiencing after my bartending training yesterday.
I start training on bar Wednesday and I'm nervous lol
Thank u Dave 💯👍🇯🇲
I wish I could favourite or like this video 100 times just for Dave's P-E-A-K comedy MAN oh man
His step #3 anthony robbins comment cracked me up. Went back to hear it again.
I totally wanna be a bartender and can tell this guy is the one to go to just because of the "I got you"
Oh man. Went to bartending school last month, already worked a few high volume bartending shifts for an event company, and still shitting my pants when the new work flows through.
Bartenders are usually in short supply. Walk up somewhere where they look for people. Even with zero knowledge they usually give you a chance. If you manage to not be a tripping hazard and do some stuff during the first two nights you'll be fine. - Also don't be afraid of quitting and going somewhere else if the clientele, coworkers, management, style, music, location, tips, equipment or whatever else is not what you're looking for. There are plenty different places and being "in the right place" makes a HUGE difference.
Hardest part of bartending for me is memorizing peoples’ faces and names. Gotta make those regulars feel like family!!
I’m glad I found this video I’m going to watch the rest of your videos as well 🤗 I’m moving to las Vegas in about 2 months and would like to bartend to bring in additional income. I still want to go to bartending school but I want to learn as much a I can before hand.
FashNForward Daily good luck!
You cool ash😂💯🏋🏾♂️
When he said “stop it” i stopped lol
This videos had as much knowledge as Ted Talks😂🙌 great videos!
I got a job interview on friday, lets hope I clutch this bartending position.
did u clutch it?

0:9 best intro everrrrr
"haha yeah how you doing"😂😂😂
So my goal is to be an emt but I would very much like to do this on the side I won't a colorful life one I can be satisfied with and I think your tips can help thank brother
You rock bro. And thank you for sharing your golden wisdom

Great intro. I got you. Lol loved it. Must watch! Thanx Bro!!
When he said 'you're probably asking who is this guy' I absolutely was NOT. I'm 21 and will take any/all information I can get
If I wanted to sell something to people who wanted to start in the restaurant business as a bartender, these are the things I would say. First of all, bartending is not easy. It requires a range of skills and at least a modicum of personality. Second, if an establishment is hiring bartenders with no experience, it probably not a great place to be a bartender. Once professionals get a hold of preferred shifts, they hold on to them, sometimes for years. When they leave, the next bartender up moves in. If it's a good bar, others in the bartending community hear about it and open slots are filled by experienced bartenders. So how do you get experience? Start at a restaurant with a bar and become a server. Notify management you are interested in a bartending position. Then master the skills of being a server (also not easy) which are analogous to bartending. If you are good, you will be the next to step up. Or try a hotel. They may hire a bartender with no experience, because the bar at that particular hotel may not be busy and, as above, no good bartending job is handed to someone with no experience. Honestly, I became a bartender by being a regular at a bar. I knew they wouldn't make me a bartender, but having made friends with the managers, I asked if they would lie when someone checked my references and say I had experience. I went to bartending school, so I didn't look like a complete asshole on my first day (it wasn't until my 5th day when they asked me to change a keg, which they didn't teach), and I never put it on a resumé. The only thing worse than having no experience is having bartending school on a resumé. I got a job at a hotel bar. Then another hotel. Then someone liked me and recruited me into management at a large establishment. I learned about the business. Managed a few establishments and returned to bartending. Now I own and operate a bar and restaurant and still bartend 4 nights a week, because I love what I do, I'm good at it, and owning a restaurant is less lucrative than bartending. At least for now. Bartending is an art that requires dedication. Every career bartender will tell you they still watch and learn from other bartenders. If a bartender tells you their job is easy, they are either not good at it or trying to sell you something.
Thanks for the comment Toad. Let me address your thoughts one at a time:
1) First off, please don't tell me bartending is difficult. You can work 25 - 30 hours per week and make $60,000 per year mixing liquid and pouring it into a glass. Yes, that's oversimplifying...it takes some skill to make the drinks correctly and you must provide good customer service, but it's not like engineering or brain surgery or being covered up in your neck with grease rebuilding a carburetor. It's simple, and anyone can learn it and do it well. Anyone who thinks bartending is a difficult job--mixing drinks for $50 - $60 per hour---I can't imagine what they'd do if they had to re-tar freeways all summer. Give me a job that makes as much money that is easier than bartending.
2) I have hired hundreds of bartenders and servers, through my own bar and through my clients I consult for, and we hire inexperienced bartenders and servers all the time so we can mold them and train them through our program. We hire experienced ones too, but sometimes those "professional" bartenders can be jaded and they haven't even been trained well (plus, 95% of them steal), so bars that hire inexperienced bartenders could be a lower-level bar, or they could have a good training program, but even if they are lower-level, that's ok in the beginning. You just need somewhere to learn and gain experience so you can put it on your resume for the next bar your apply to.
3) You are correct, managers don't give a shit if you put bartending school on the resume. The purpose of my course and what I do to help people is to get their foot in the door. Like you said, hotels are one good option, but there are plenty of places who will hire someone with a good personality and train them. Once their foot is in the door, they can gain experience and level-up and find better and better bars to work at. And yes, getting a serving job first is also a decent route to take, but my students are able to follow the plan and actually get hired as a bartender, and then they're on their way to leveling-up.
Those are my thoughts on the matter. I'm not writing this in a disrespectful tone...I just want people to realize that we have found great success in helping aspiring bartenders take some action so they can get their foot in the door, jump behind a real bar, which is the quickest way to learn and gain experience. That's what differentiates my course from others: I'm not promising to give you all the experience you need. I'm giving you enough skills and knowledge so you don't look like a jackass, just like you stated Toad (by the way, I do teach how to change a keg) and then I give you a plan to get hired which is the quickest path to get the experience you need.
Cheers,
Dave
@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman it is true that a bartender can make $50 to $60 per hour working 25 to 30 hours a week for over 60k per year. That is easy money for someone equipped to do the job. Another job where you can make easy money is being a Major League Baseball player. Mike Trout is going to make over $33 million this year. Even more astounding, he only has to work 8 months a year. Watching him play makes it look effortless. Clearly he just decided he was going to be a major league ballplayer and went for it.
But you've hired "hundreds" of inexperienced bartenders who have achieved success. Let's take your word for it. "Hundreds" at least implies 200. I won't attempt to guess how long you've been in this business by your age, but let's give you a generous estimate at 20 years. Along with experienced bartenders (who you claim 95% to be thieves) you have shoehorned in 10 totally inexperienced bartenders a year. I have been hiring bartenders for at least 15 years and I can say I am well under 30 total. Why do you have to hire so often? If you were right about 100% of your hires, where did they go? Did they reach a point of experience that included them in your 95%? Or was a plucky attitude not good enough to be a skilled bartender?
You mentioned in another video that someone presenting you with a resumé (one of your sacred tenets) including bartending school prompts you to, in front of them, crumple it up and laugh in their face. Even though you encourage people to work toward their goals, if they didn't take your version of bartending school which involves zero hands on training they are not only completely unworthy of consideration, they should be subject to ridicule. Pretty dick move.
I have worked with a lot of bartenders who are professionals dedicated to a career they value enough to constantly improve. They make "easy money" because they have worked hard to attain a level of employment worthy of their skill. Experienced bartenders don't need to steal to make money and wouldn't dream of doing it because risking their access to those jobs makes no sense. You've got a lot of balls calling us thieves when you openly admit you put your thumb over the vent hole of a pour spot to short pour people you don't like. To anyone who wants to be a real bartender, there are ways to attain petty retribution to someone you don't want to stay at your bar that don't involve you stealing from them. The reason you feel 95% of experienced bartenders are thieves is because you want to justify your questionable conduct. Just a heads up, we're not like you. Also, we don't like you. You cheapen our profession.
Glad you were able to open up your vault and unload your anger, Toad. Hope it helped. Best of luck to you...
Toad Hall lol you actually just said being a pro baseball player is easy? You must have half a brain if that. If being a pro in any sport was easy money everyone would do it. Moronic argument
@@micahfrigo1024 I think you may have missed Toads point... People that are good at something Make It Look easy... doesn't mean it is. Just because a good bartender makes the job look effortless doesn't mean it doesn't take a lot of patience, effort, skill gained through practice, and wisdom gained through experience. You're right... if pro sports were easy everyone would be an athlete... if bartending were easy, every ditz and moron with half a personality that thought they could hang behind my bar would still be there... just my 2 cents
Carburetor !! What's that?🤣🤣
thanks so much man, im trying to study bartending early so that when i graduate ill be ready for some jobs :)
Awesome Leon, best of luck to you.
That opening line made me crack up!!!
Haha I went to get some interview ideas and found my cousin lol😂my mom’s sisters son! Hi 👋🏻
thank youuu! i have an interview at 12pm and know almost nothing. still hope that i get it tho lmao
Teach me!! I’ve always wanted to do this….I need a different life
I don't believe goal setting is synonymous with success, rather the mentality it takes to set goals being succinct with performance.
I would agree with you on that, Madwood.
I just bought your book, I can't wait to get started on putting my new found knowledge to good use!!
Right on! Don't stop until you land the job.
I work at Red Robin and they have a bar there and I think it looks interesting to learn about it despite me not into alcohol I always wanted to make a drink for myself or to just learn in general.
Ty for the info, very helpful.
Gave me a lot to think about. Thank you!
I agree with following up but if you have to follow up 4 or 5 times then it's probably not a company you want to be working for.
Question were do I put the liquid.
Aahhhh I want this so bad ! Also you remind me of Thomas Haden church
Thomas Haden Church? I love it. Haven't gotten him before. It's usually John Cena.
I want to comment on the 5th follow-up. I have a felony. It's really hard for me to find a job. The job I found was only aquired after I showed up time after time, 5xs actually!! I started out in the dish out, got promoted to prep cook, eventually transferred to consessions(I work at Roadhouse Cinemas in Tucson AZ), and after a lot of persistence and showing that I really wanted a shot, I finally got a shot at bartending. I'm mid training right now, but I did it!! My advice for any goal, keep trying!!
This is awesome Clarence. This is exactly why I teach this in the course. Nobody realizes the power of the follow-up. Managers LOVE it when they see someone so committed that they don't give up. It's the sign of a great employee. Thanks for sharing your story.
Oh gawd!!! I watched this video and applied for bartending. I have no experience other than restaurant experience opening wines and pouring beers, but never made cocktails.... and I got a job as a bartender!!! It was actually really easy!!! Just sell yourself!!!
@@tylerwatson1274 I work at a place called the Elks Lodge. I'm still with them for the whole time and learned a lot about bartending!!! Even with the videos, I am able to keep up about counting, garnishing, keeping organized, and all of that lovely stuff!!it is awesome!!!!!
Thank you, Dave! Great video🙏
My fear is gone you rock love from London 🇬🇧
Atta kid, James. Love hearing that you extinguished your fears. Go London!
Love your video new subscriber I’m going to apply apply at some spots this week and am superrrr nervous no prev bar experience but I’m going to fake it until I make it and study until then lol thanks for the info
Atta kid, Leah. Knock 'em dead.
“Literally millions of dollars in tips” oh shit really. I might be a bartender to startup my own godam bar
You do realize, Jimmy, that when I say "Literally millions of dollars in tips" that I say "collectively". I've had more than 10,000 people go through my course, so as a collective group they are earning millions. I'm not claiming that you will make millions yourself. I want to make sure that statement isn't taken out of context.
I don’t drink at all due to some health issues. But can I still become a bartender?
„I‘m gender supportive“ ADOPT ME RIGHT NOW
How do you not have more subs? Very helpful, sir!
Thanks Truth Seeker. My goal is to provide as much value as possible and whoever comes will hopefully get something out of it.
Thanks Dave! your videos are really helping! Keep the good work!
Thanks for the kind words Antonio. I will do my best.
"But wait, there's more!"
Michael Wehrley and this ones a screamer
I just joined your course! I am excited for this journey
Right on! Very excited for you as well Danae. Go kill it!
Im so very interested to become a bartender someday after i graduate. I pursuing Bachelor of science hotel and management and i also much more time flairing and mixing cocktails im so happy to get an information about to become a bartender
I just started bartending at holiday inn I need to learn more they just threw me in there
Yooo thats the best way to learn unfortunately.. Its 4 months later and I bet if your stuck with it youre probably nice ass hell and comfortable
i just started bartending for the first time last night and im having a hard time with the transactions and the pos part of the job
See if this helps at all: ua-cam.com/video/jUJ5bgYOfd8/v-deo.html
Im doing this so I can be a basic bartender for my family and friend's weddings. I dont want them paying thousands for a bar and bartender. Just pay give me a place to be and for the drinks and ice. I'll do all the mixing and stuff for 50 bucks and maybe a bottle myself to take home hehe
Wow the training is so amazing
