What are the Requirements to Become a Bartender?

Service with a Smile: Becoming a Bartender

A ready smile and easygoing personality are two of the main requirements to become a bartender. In bars and nightclubs, bartenders are the front line of the customer experience. During busy weekend nights, bartenders pour hundreds of beers and mix dozens of different drinks at a frenetic pace. Learning how to juggle customers' needs while retaining a pleasant attitude are essential to longevity as a bartender--and to bringing in bigger tips, a bartender's lifeblood.

Bartender Schools

Although bartending schools give novices a crash course on mixing drinks, many bar managers won't consider this experience sufficient for direct hire as a bartender. Bartending schools usually run two hours a night five days a week for a month. A "final exam" consists of making many of the most popular drinks from memory.

Online Bartender Classes

Online bartending schools teach you the basics--but they can't teach you how to deal with unruly customers or those who've consumed too much alcohol.

Fulfilling the requirements to become a bartender means working in a bar. One of the best ways to get hired as a bartender is to move up from wait staff or to train as a barback, the bartender's assistant. Barbacks keep the bar stocked and the drinks flowing. Both positions offer the chance to learn the names of drinks and how they are made.
