Institute Of Bartending
Bartenders, Mixotogist, how much do you make?

how long have you been bartending. mixing drinks
what type of establishment do you work at:
night club, restaurant, hotel, pub ect.
do you like it?
how often do you work
I’m asking because I am considering it, also there is a school, Bartending Institute that teaches how to mix drinks, its a course for $800 for 2 weeks, would this be worth it? they also said you have to be certified by law (not necessarily through them) is this true?
on average what do you make?
Thanks Jim thats good to know, hey we’re neighbors, I’m in galloway ohio:)

I have been bartending for 11 years now. I have worked in about every environment there is except for a hotel. For the most part I have made really good money. I have made the most at places that are owned by one or two people (not a corporation). They tend not to over staff where as a corporation will have way to many people working. On average working at a place like this (which I do now) I make $500-$800 a week working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday ( I work in Columbus, Ohio) Except for my first bartending job where I was learning, I would never stay at a place making any less than $100-$150 a night. The money and lifestyle are addicting. I am going to school now but have put it off due to the amount of money I am making.

As far as the school, spend your money getting to know people behind the bar. I cannot express this enough, those schools are a waste of money! I have seen many people apply through the years who have went to those schools. They are a joke. No real bar hires them. Have you ever served before? If so I would get a job serving and let them know you want to train behind the bar. I have had customers who I have became friends with who I have helped get a job and have trained them how to bartend. Those schools teach you how to pour and make drinks and the laws of alcohol service. That is about 1% of what you need to know. Anyone can look up a drink recipe, knowing what to do when there are people standing 3 rows deep on a busy night is what a bartender does.

Art schools are educational institutions in either primary, secondary, undergraduate, or graduate level that focus on graphic design, illustration, painting, photography, and sculptures. Large institutions offer a major degree in visual arts.   This degree is part of a broad-based program in liberal arts and science. Most accredited colleges offer Bachelor of Fine Arts or Fine Art B.A. To obtain an authentic college or university degree from a professional art and design educations, verify either accredited by National Association of Schools of Art and Design or education offered through a member of Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design. Those art school accreditation institutions provide accreditation to each institution after overseeing a rigorous liberal arts and general education curriculum.

In the United States, the private and public schools offer degrees in Bachelor of Art (BA) and Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA). Generally, Bachelor of Art degree program focuses on approximately 30% studio coursework and remainder in general education. Bachelor of Fine Arts degree program on the other hand focuses on 70% studio coursework and the rest in general education. Coursework for graduate degrees such as Masters of Arts (MA), Master of Fine Arts (MFA), Master of Architecture (M.Arch), and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) varies by specific chosen discipline.

The best art schools are Art Institute of Chicago and UCLA School of Art and Architecture.  Due to highly competitive nature of admissions, primary selection criteria is based on artistic talent and academic performance.  Secondary selection criterion is applicants grasp of other skills not related to academics. During the admission process, admission is based on strength of student’s portfolio, class ranking, admissions essay, and the letters of recommendations.  In regard to student’s strength of portfolio, admission staff look for technical skills, creativity, ability to draw from observation and the use of different media.  Interview process is a secondary selection criteria where they look for motivation, passion, commitment, openness to new ideas and critiques, and ability to articulate student’s work.
