After the Tom Cruise move “Cocktail” hit theaters, there was a surge in bartending careers. Movies like this one glamorize bartending by making life behind the bar seem like exciting nights where nothing goes wrong. The bartender always ends up with the best girl in the bar. The bar is always full of people yelling for more drinks. A bartender never has a moment free. In some bars, this is the case. In others, however, there is plenty of seating to go round and the action never gets started.
Depending on the personality of the bartender, this could be an ideal situation. There are the bars featured on the popular television show “Cheer”. Here the neighborhood bar is the place everyone meets up at the end of the day. The bartender is good friends with the patrons. Getting to know these individuals on a personal level is what makes bartending fulfilling for them. There is no need to be a hustle and bustle nightclub bartender. In this type of “Cheers” bar, the bartender takes a friendly approach to life behind the bar.
For the bartender craving excitement, there is the nightclub bar scene. Here, the night’s activities vary on the clientele. One night could see a crazy bachelor party and another night a girl’s night out group. Often times, a nightclub bartender will deal with drink specials, 2 for 1 night and other promotional pieces the nightclub might be running. There is also a higher demand for a varied drink mixing list. Nightclub bartenders need to be well versed in drink mixes. One never knows what type of drink a nightclub patron might have a taste for.
Whether choosing to bartend in a neighborhood bar or the hot spot night club, one thing remains the same; life behind the bar is never dull.
