Bartending Jobs

A Bartender wil usually make about 70% of their take home pay in tips. The best bartenders can make around $100,000 per year.

In the United States, Bartenders are considered the top of the working class, revered by the blue collar worker. The Bartender is social core of society. When you have questions, you ask your bartender. The abilities of a bartender are expected to go far beyond the obvious drink making and food serving. Bartenders (Barkeeps, drinkslingers or simply: "tenders") provide solace to the downtrodden drinking man, company for the lonely, entertainment for the bored and useful information to visitors. For example a bartender might be called upon to recommend a restaurant for dinner, a theater for a show, the day's sports scores, the marital status of women lounging in the bar area, as well as a wide breadth of general trivia regarding stocks, cars, wine, sports, politics and history. In some states within the USA, you may need to become certified before taking a bartending job.
