You know I have always thought it would be fun to be a bartender. Actually a Mixologist...the ones that know what a bartender knows but then some. Flair type mixologists, you know with the tricks and stunts and entertainment sounds appealing too. So for the new year gimmie your opinion.

Should I jump and go to Bartending school in LA for the next 1.5 months??

 

Hell yes! And make a Liquid Cocaine for me.

 

Done, with a little bit of shooting fire for extra appeal?

 

Fire is ALWAYS cool. :D

 

Bump for more votes PLEASE!

 

makes great money and always on your feet

 

def. should, I would maybe not to actually work but just to know how to do all that stuff for my own parties and such.

 

Well I have always wanted to have the knowledge and decided I am tired of not doing it so HEY! Plus, yes I hear the money is really good if you are good. I would never turn down extra cash! :-)

 

there are bunch of bad bartenders that still make good money.. haha.. if the venu you are at are busy enough.. drunk people won't care if you aren't top notch.

 

I say go for it as long as you have that kind of a personality!

 

So are you going to watch Cocktail a bunch of times and take notes?

 

Yes. I went to a bartending school here in Wa. You can get a good side job, or even a good main job. Depending on the place. Tips can be fenominal. Plus, at parties, you can be the shiznit by whippin up some wicked drinks.

 

HAHA! Nah, I am researching a few schools in and around LA. Would like to start by the end of this month. Just want to make sure I get to a good school with a great reputation. If any of you can advise on this that would be awesome!

 

I would love it if I could make a living bartending. Some places, you can make a decent living, but I haven't heard of too many bars/restaurants that offer benefits or health insurance.
If I could, I would work at a video store and bartend.

 

and thats the downside. its best as a part time deal.

 

You're in LA. Substance means nothing, image is everything. That being said, if you have cover model looks, a bright smile, and great personaility, then it doesn't matter if you ____ in a mixer and serve it over ice with a cherry garnish, you'll make loads of cash

 

^^^^ lol, I am not in LA I live 2 hours north but would go to train in LA. Geez pee in a mixer and top it with a cherry, I can do that already!

 

hells yeh dood go for it if you want it then u can be surrounded by hott chicks and keep them entertained with your talented mixology hands.

 

Well folks looks like I may have my first class on Saturday!

 

good job and good luck foo
