      @@jackjack4412 IDK. I'm in US, Great Lakes area. Tourist/seasonal. I average $40/hr w pay and tips. Not sure how they do it across the pond. These guys are straight pros. I would bet its comparable to $60-70/hr. Then you do the math, and work as much or as little as you need/want to.

      @@katdog9786 I doubt that, British tipping culture is the absolute worst and in no way comparable to the US. Idk if he's just a bartender or the F&B, but only the latter will get the 70 bucks you assume. You must remember that the 15% service charge they take trickles through the whole gig, from waitress to the dishwasher and is not income tax-free.
      As unbelievably as it sounds, that 3rd guy running around there will barely make a living in London.

      ​@J Rhubarb is a very naive way to look at it. Sure, you can learn most things on the job or by research without this, but if they learned valuable skills and confidence from attending some schooling then it isnt a waste in the slightest. If not for knowledge alone then making new contacts and enjoying yourself is a huge part of development as a bartender.

    The professional courtesy they have with each other is my favorite thing. This is how I speak to my colleagues and it does wonders for team cohesion and the guest experience. I was regarded by many to be one of the best bartenders in my city, and people would turn down sitting at a table immediately in favor of waiting up to 90 mins to sit at my bar, and I think the way I spoke to my coworkers was a substantive part of that. Of course they like good drinks, and watching the precision, speed, attention to detail, and ability to multitask, but seeing someone so busy take the time to be so polite is one of those things you just love to see.

    This is so inspiring. This is my dream job. I've been a therapist for 7 years. And I discovered bartending by accident and it has turned into one of the best adventures. I officially got a shot at a Country Club and I'm learning. This place is teaching me things. And I eventually want to be in a high-rise hotel as a master bartender with a channel and be able to film while working like this. I also want to own a bar in Florida and every. One of your bartenders has had some sort of background in licensed therapy. But I value this video right here. I wanna be like this. I've definitely feel called to be a master bartender.

    As a craft cocktail bartender that works at a high-end and incredibly high volume hotel, this is my life. I love it and hate it. But mostly I love it. And the pay.. $1200 in a single night bartending for a large corporate sales group recently. This is in the U.S, midwest area. This trade can be so incredibly lucrative in the right place. Love the footage guys. Cheers

      Hey mate, would you mind describing it a little more? I currently do de same thing, just in my home country, and I was just recently thinking about going abroad. I would love to hear some details, like how much prep you do a day, are you the one who comes up with the some of the cocktails/menu,how many days/hours a week you work,what kind of bar is it, was it hard to get the job etc. cheers man💓

      @@rudolfszam7099 Sorry for the long delayed reply mate. I meant to get back to you and, well, was busy slinging drinks! Prep work is fairly simple for us, we're focused mostly on classics but the sheer volume is so high that we can't even be bothered to press our own juices. Usually showing up 1-1 ½ hours early to make syrups, unload the liquor order, fruits/garnishes, ice, polishing, the usual really. Bartenders in the states make faaar more than those aboard to my knowledge. Whereas we are paid only $3.50/hour, all of our money comes from tips. Which generally speaking, is roughly 22% of the total bill.
      When you're dealing with expensive cocktails and highly expensive scotch pours, the total can add up quick. So on a total bill of about $300, which can happen pretty easily, I'll expect to make $60 off that table.
      Due to the nature of Hotels, and being one of the more prestigious hotels in the city, we get a ton of corporate events, wedding crowds, etc that come piling in. Any wedding, party, event going on in the hotel is autogratted 22%. Meaning our tip is already counted in the total on the bill. And very often, guests will not realize this and tip on top of that, often netting us a 42%(+) tip on each bill.

    • @ItsChrisFtw

      @@rudolfszam7099 I work alongside a few other bartenders to work on the menu, usually entailing 1 or 2 new monthly featured cocktails. I'll average anywhere from 30-40hours a week and take home roughly $1300-$2,000 a week after taxes are taken out.
      Honestly, there's some luck of the draw when it comes to securing positions like this. Make no mistake, the better you are at your craft, the better money you'll generally make, as you can go just about anywhere. But there was some luck, and some schmoozing to get in. Highly suggest if you do this, get into Hotels. Prominent Hotels that see many guests. The benefits are great as well. Cheers.

    I wish GoPros were around when I worked in a bar. It was 5 deep at the bar, and I would have 4 pints filling (resting on upside down shot glasses) while I was opening bottles or filling shots, then I'd top off the pints while taking the next 2 or 3 orders. So much fun.

    Best thing about bartending is , You don't have pressure, of course you do if it's your first week , for some it's first month but you'll love your job. You create your own unique recipe when you're skillful in mixing. You can either work sober or after downing your first pint. It's a fun work to be . ❤

    I love what these guys do!!! I will say that I can see how busy this bar is however I noticed how drinks can be expedited quicker! When you have a shaken cocktail and a stirred cocktail on the same menu, you can cook your stirred cocktail on ice first and leave it on ice while you build your shaken cocktails. The stirred cocktails will be close to finished by the time your shaken cocktail is ready. Or you can shake and stir at the same time if you have the skill! Just a suggestion :)

    I like how people who spend more money on their food seem to care less about the cook touching it. In the fast food and small kitchens I have worked customers would go through the roof if I would have dropped a measuring spoon in their drink and had to fish it out with my hand. Yet this guy can do it right in front of the lady and get away with it.
