Call to All Aspiring Bartenders! Ever Hear this..

"I would never Hire a Bartending School Graduate! Matter of fact, I would laugh if they showed me their certificate!"
The Internet is filled with stories of disappointed students & establishments having wasted time and money investing in Bartending Education and their Graduates.
With all the multitudes of inept & unscrupulous "Learn How to Bartend" Businesses trying to make a quick buck on the enticing world of bartending. It is no wonder why this has become a Common Opinion! But there are success stories also. The trick is to simply make a researched & informed decision. Don't allow yourself to be rushed, dazzled or downright bullied. If a school is trying Hard to sell you, that's the time to walk away. If an Online business is promising you a certificate for a "Hands On" skill without ever seeing those skills - use your common sense and turn away. Just like a manager will ask from you...Ask a school to see credentials and references before signing anything. By doing this, these quickie, gimmicky businesses will start to fail. That's when the trust relationship between Bartending School Graduates & Establishments will increase and become the Common Opinion. This is where you will put yourself into the success category instead of the "I would never hire a bartending school graduate!"

Cheers to continuing success,
PCBS

Q. Is it really necassary to learn 150 drinks?

A. No doubt you have read or heard that many bartenders only pour about 40-75 different drinks. That may be true if that bartender has never ventured outside of their one type of establishment. If you were to learn the minimum standard 40 drinks at your neighborhood bar then got hired at a nightclub which added another 25 shooters to your list. Then got a job at a beachfront bar-which again added another 35 exotic drinks-do you see where I'm going with this? Then you apply at a 5 star hotel where another 35 dessert and 25 upscale cocktails are made - you are already at 160 drinks - minimum! Therefore, we teach you 150, in order to give you a much broader knowledge of cocktails that allows you to have as many possible job opportunity choices, ranging from neighborhood bars to the 5 star hotels. When lacking experience, knowledge becomes your power. That gives you the confidence to start convincing managers to take a chance on you.
