Bartending
Are there actually bartending permits in Atlanta Georgia; and if so how does on apply for them?
I’ve been Bartending on and off for years I occasionally hear rumor of a need for a permit but no bar I work at has confirmed this and I can’t find any information on where one would get such a thing, if it does exist. Thanks!
Call a bar in Atlanta and ask them how you get one.
What does it take to truly be a great bartender? What Bartending Schools don’t want you to know is that it has nothing to do with memorizing countless drink recipes.
In fact, learning how to bartend is much easier than most are led to believe. A 50 hour course at some school with a thick book filled with two thousand plus drink recipes can seem pretty daunting and overwhelming to most.
But the truth is, there are no more than 100 drinks that a bartender will ever need to know, and a lot of them are extremely similar in many respects.
But being a Great Bartender has nothing to do with how many drinks you know or how strong you pour them (although that doesn’t hurt). Success in this profession cannot be learned in any class or book because it is all personality!
The Bartender is a very powerful character in any setting once he steps behind that bar. He sets the mood for the entire night, and in order to be a Great Bartender, he must be outgoing, charismatic, and very personable. You must be well-liked in order to be considered Great.
Below are some great tips to improve your status behind the bar:
Passion: Most importantly, your success as a bartender stems from your passion to bartend and serve customers. If you love what you do, your guests will see that and it will reflect in your work (and your tips).
Work Hard: Everyone appreciates hard work. Your guests will show their gratitude (with tips!) when you make their drink with speed and efficiency.
Remember Names: The bar creates a barrier between you and your guests. As a bartender, you want to become as personable as possible. Always introduce yourself and make sure you get your customers’ names in return. Use their name whenever possible.
Use Humor: Everyone has a sense of humor, including yourself. If you’re not the wittiest bartender, have a few jokes on hand that you can tell. Just make sure the jokes are appropriate for your audience.
Current Events: A Great Bartender always knows what’s going on in the world, whether it is sports, politics, or local news, you should always stay informed so you can answer any questions and keep good conversation.
Add some Flair: People go out to bars and restaurants to be entertained. Anybody can buy a six-pack and stay at home and drink by himself, but that wouldn’t be fun. At the bar, your guests expect to be entertained, so give them what they want. Learn a cheesy magic trick or two or add a bit of simple flair into your nightly routine. This will go a long way with your guest.
There are so many factors that must be calculated into the equation of a Great Bartender. But as long as you are outgoing and showing your customers that you are enjoying what you do, you will be on the road to a great bartender and the rest will just follow.
