Are you familiar with one too many types of cocktails? Have you been enchanted by those movie scenes where the guy behind the bar is the coolest one, mixing random drinks and charming all types customers with it? Have you always dreamed of making the perfect cocktail and naming it after yourself? Then why not become a Bartender? Oftentimes being a Bartender is considered glamorous because you get to work in unique and interesting places, and also meet equally unique and interesting people! Contrary to popular belief, a Bartender’s responsibilities include more than just mixing up drinks.

Good communication and social skills
As a Bartender, you’ll be seeing and talking to a lot of people. Many people also tend to open up about themselves more when they drink, so keeping up a positive attitude and having great social skills is a plus for you and for the customers. Keeping the conversation going is what makes the customers happy, so it’s important to know the right thing to say and when to say it.
Being able to work under pressure
A Bartender, like employees in most restaurants, must be able to work under pressure. Meeting the requests of all the customers especially during a popular or busy hour can be stressful, but remember you must still keep a positive attitude as this is a service industry and attitude is key. So, if you can keep a huge smile while balancing the pressure of a fast-paced bar, then this job is for you!
Being able to keep the venue organised, stocked and clean
Being a Bartender will require you to be responsible for not only making the drinks, but keeping your ‘station’ clean and organised even after your shift is over. You will be responsible for all the ingredients used to make drinks, equipment such as glassware, strainers and shakers, as well as maintenance and upkeep of the place to attract more customers in the future.

“A proper drink at the right time—one mixed with care and skill and served in a true spirit of hospitality—is better than any other made thing at giving us the illusion, at least, that we’re getting what we want from life.”
