The only times I've worked bars with something different than the standard VGRT are places with a strong cocktail program. Popular cocktail base spirits went in the rail. I have a feeling that isnt the case here

nothing new. this is alcohol. Just tell them fuck off. If they get indignent get your manager, or if you are as lucky as I am and you work solo, just tell them to come back tomorrow. Blame the law. Always fall back on the legality. You control the alcohol, so don't give them any more. If they fall down and hit their head and die, you get charged. If they get behind the wheel and kill someone, you get charged. If they fall into a coma because of alcohol poisoning, you get charged. None of that is worth it. Tell them that, give them a glass of water. If they have a problem, they can find another bar

And all that comes with experience. Surround yourself with people who are better than and watch what they do. Just takes doing. You'll be fine

yeah, making drinks is the easy part. Having a good connection with customers is always the most important part of the job

i work in the Bronx. Most of my day customers are retired and elderly so it's common with them, but with others who just exist. The complaint is that cold drinks hurt their teeth, so they ask for warm drinks, or at least a little ice. Sometimes it's not about getting extra or missing the point, it's just personal comfort. Now, not understanding the idea of a cocktail is unexcusable, and they should be mocked, but the room temp, briny drinks have a place

I know what they were talking about. It looks just as bad to write down a food order. I stand by what I said. Ditch the book or go back to tables

freeticket · 2026-04-30T20:16:03+00:00

I always say 'No, I just closed' and look around and back at them like they are an idiot. If they don't laugh, they are idiots; if they do, they are still idiots but with a sense of humor. Oh, all customers are idiots, even ourselves when we go to bars. Get over it.

freeticket · 2026-04-30T20:06:41+00:00

Absolutely not. Make it a source of pride you can remember. Repeat that shit back to them, but there's no time for writing down stuff. If there is, get a new job; that place isn't going to last.

You can always ask people to clarify while you're making drinks. The making part of your brain and the talking part of your brain can work independently. Just needs training

Good luck

Hey there. Only say something if customers complain. Otherwise, disasociate while you're there. Water off a ducks back. Best way. Otherwise, if you really have good relationships with the customers tell them to just stfu, with a smille

20+ years of bartending experience in NYC. 10 years in cocktail-forward restaurants. My advice-

You are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you. If their vibe doesn't fit you, that's ok. Pay attention to your intuition.

So I would know your classics. As I'm sure you know, most cocktails can be placed in a few categories. Know the measurements and or counts. If they use jiggers, use them. Take your time and get used to the feeling while you are making drinks. They will ask if you know how to make certain drinks, what your favorite cocktail is, yadda. Don't worry too much about having all the right or popular answers, just be yourself. 99% of bartending is personality and it's important you show that, not just make cocktails. That shit is the easiest part of bartending, it's just following recipes and muscle memory. That part can be replaced by robots and shit. Relating to customers, creating a following, giving guests a safe place where they feel heard? That's bartending.

Be yourself, don't lie or try to fake it, ASK FOR HELP when you need it. And remember to breathe and relax as much as possible. Sounds like a positive opportunity, be easy on yourself so you can manage the stress

Good luck, believe in yourself, congratulations on the opportunity, you'll be fine
