"Cocktologist", I'm keeping that one.
it's a title that can refer to more than one role
Exo 594 cocktologists, find bone[r]s
I have a shirt that just says 'intoxicologist'
hi am a cocktologist lol
Cocktologist...I lost it at that one. I think I'll start calling myself (medical field) a "natural selection interventionists," if I ever hear a bartender address themselves as that. 🤣🤣🤣
That's fucking hilarious
🤣
Hipster bartenders hating other hipster bartenders. The irony...
IKR haha
The bigger irony is bartenders that still drink, shows how long youve really been bartending. When is the last time you saw one of these old guys behind the bar drinking a beer. There is a reason. All you kids at tales are so funny. The biggest thing is youll all move on to something else eventually. I was here before, here during, and ill still be here bartending long long after any of these guys in the video will.
so true xD
LOL. Yup. Chad from Dallas with his damn mumford and sons rancher hat and flower print fully buttoned up shirt with the velvet blazer talking about the cos-play and preening of other bartenders...
Lol i wonder if the hipster guy knows all the other bartenders hate him
As someone who works at a bar where your money comes from treating regulars well rude bartenders really irk me. Do they not understand that treating a customer with a baseline level of respect will result in better tips?
Chad Solomon - the guy the other bartenders are talking about
0:50
because he has a hat, got it chief
Chaim as well
I've worked as a bartender and honestly as long as you make drinks well and don't have your head up your ass you can get away with stuff.
"You're a bartender...and if you're not a bartender what are you even doing?" Priceless.
I've got no beef with mixologists, mustaches, etc... Just hate bad service
Interesting words about cosplay from the guy dressed like Johnny Depp.
I am 34 and have worked behind every kind of bar that you can imagine since I was 18. Personally, I can see where these guys are coming from, except... I appreciate the idea of "showy" bartending because it works in the right environment. I also respect traditional bartending because it appeals to drinkers that don't like all the fuss and nonsense.
Basically, learn your craft and be adaptable. Tailor your service to the CUSTOMER. That is the LITERAL definition of "customer service". Forget about how amazing you are and think about how you would want to be served in that environment. Don't get me wrong. You WILL serve aresholes. Just don't feel as if you're better than the person who is literally paying your wages. You're not. If you disagree... find another job my friend. You're not a true bartender.
Nice. I always like when customers ask me, "so what do you do?" "I bartend." "No, I mean like for your real job."
From someone who isn't a bartender, I have 0 issue with someone taking some pride in their work and I appreciate the showmanship. Also people who dress well in general. It's the difference between "I'm a bartender" and "I needed to pay bills"
I love how this is the longest video in the playlist.
I wear arm garters. I hate the feeling of my sleeves sliding up and down when I move and shake. Deal with it.
I don't think it's so much about things like that, that assist a BT in doing their job, I think they're talking more about the wank factor. That there are really shitty bartenders out there that do shit like that to appear important or sophisticated, but lack the essentials of just being a decent bar tender and having a detailed understanding of different kinds of alcohol and how to serve them, and hide behind stupid shit to mask it, and all the while delivering terrible customer service.
One of the women lays it down straight "we serve people booze". I mean, it's not that it doesn't take some level of skill, but seriously....it ain't rocket science either LOL!
My sister used to bartend and she left when she found out that her boss and coworkers were saying extremely rude things about her behind her back. If you're gonna say something about someone and if it's not something you'd say to their face you shouldn't say it at all.
😂 random
Good u sticking up for her tho
I've never related to this more. I work as a bartender in a small town in Iowa, we recently hired a "mixologist" from a slightly larger (yet still small) town in Iowa. You're a bartender dude. I've had people call me a mixologist, I reply "thanks, but I'm just a bartender"
There's a huge difference between a waitor and a chef.
So I can see why some people wanna be called 'mixologists' or some shit like that, to highlight that they are creating new recipes - and not just serving beer.
I spend a fraction of my time learning some "flair" at home that I haven't even used while working and zero time on appearance really bc I wear a uniform but even if I go to a casual bar someday I'd just wear what I would wear when I go out. Well...when I try to look nice. On a date perhaps. Bc you are handling people's drinks...you can't look like a schlub. Aside from that I spend 99 % of my time learning new drinks and tinkering with them till they're good. I don't think there's any thing wrong with any of that. You're at work. You're learning skills and putting effort in to add to someone's experience and ultimately make better tips. The goal of anything in life is to grow right? I also read books from people that have been doing it forever and are very successful with a ton of classic recipes...Some of them should be left to die probably but a lot of them are canon. Sooo....don't really see a problem there either. The hipster thing...yeah. Some are douches in a different wrapper but you're full of shit if you say you don't have a style or put thought into your look. I have a beard bc I think I'm better looking with it and I have a non masculine chin. Big whoop.
Seriously, this is RUclips, talking about bartending that should only interest people that are 21+. Muting curse words is lame and unnecessary. This is adult content for adults.
am i the only one who thinks it's funnier to hear a FUH-BEEP! hahahah
I mean, it's a valid question to some degree. The platform itself may prefer less swearing etc, even though yeah, I was surprised that a bartender out of any profession would ask :P
if the video is flagged as mature, they make less ad revenue. so even though this is youtube, and they could say fuck all day long...... money talks and they want to make as much money as possible.
making censored mature content for mature audiences fucking sucks. but they arent making this content for us, they are making it for money
It's a international platform, so make it 16+ :)
@@legendary_igel_master what country has 16s allowed to drink liquor?
The last guy’s scruffy beardish/ shadow is...👌🏾 on POINT!
Most of these comments were focused on aesthetic and visual aspects of a bartender. Very few mentioned quality of drinks being produced. If someone has a waxed mustache, overalls, tattoos, Fancy equipment or whatever... Who gives a shit as long as they make a good drink?
Bartenders are a lot different today compared to back in the day when I did it. We didn't have hipsters in the early 2ks.
It's lame how trying to dress or present yourself well is so hated. They hate people in a nice outfit or with a mustache?
#1 People who call themselves Ivy Mix
She didn't call herself that, her parents did!
roight roight roight
It's her real name...
YEEESSSSSSSS!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Everything about this!!!!
I agree with some of the things they say like the star-tenders. I can’t stand those, I’ve worked with bartenders like that. They are so annoying.
With the fashion I’m 50/50, where I work I have to wear black pleated slacks, rolled sleeve button up, and black vest. That’s just the uniform I am required to wear. Believe me, I’d love to go to work in a t-shirt and skinny jeans but I can’t. But if you have the freedom to wear what you want in your bar and if everyone is wearing a shirt and jeans while you’re wearing a dress shirt, bow tie and suspenders I’d look at you weird too honestly.
Mixologists may know recipes, Bartenders definitely know dirty jokes!
that Ryan dude is spot on. cheers.
fantastic drink and great service minded is what I want essentially aside of that it is a plus
I have been wearing garters on my arms for 30 years. I also bartend in a strip club. One of the entertainers put them on me about a week after I started and I have been wearing them ever since.
You've been a douchebag for 30 years.
Wtf is this? Next we'll hear what plumbers hate about other plumbers and what mailmen hate about other mailmen
This is why its so hard to make a career out of bartending, because as soon as you try and take it seriously people look down at you and laugh because you are trying to be serious with coming up with creative drinks, or dressing a different way in general. It sucks
Pretentious as fuck. LOL
Not exactly depends how serious or intense they are. Good bartenders respect other good bartenders. I’ve seen ones with crazy ego they’ll tell Barback they won’t learn there name until after 30 days
So it sounds like they all basically hate hipsters hahaha
Hipster-hating is the top team sport of the 2010's.
I was hating hipsters before it was cool. Which makes me hipster. Which makes me confused.
They are all hipsters.
@That Guy No.1 rule of being a hipster: Hating other hipsters
Is Ivy Mix a Vampire ? hmmm
We assure you this was filmed during the day.
Hi
She is pretty
Lol there's an ad for an arm garter underneath the video for me
Probably because people like me didn't know what arm garters were and went on Googling the term afterwards. Google is smart, but not smart enough to know the item is what the video is disapproving.
"Cocktail architect" got me shook
these bartenders seem very into their own opinion
erick castro is a genius, invented my favorite cocktail the naughty dog. if you like white russians/root beer floats you gotta try it.
Is that you Cosmo Kramer?
Flair. In my experience people go to street fairs for juggling and bars for good drinks.
Funny thing about being a bartender . most of the mixologist or whatever who can do all these artasin cocktails are good at what they do and its a specific knowledge they have but throw them into a dive bar that's 5 deep on a Friday night where people are ordering shots and regular mix drinks and they would not be able to hang . or vice versa. Not all of course cus some have worked both settings but a lot I have meet have always been craft cocktail specialist who take 3 minutes to make a drink . on the other hand you have busy club or dive bartenders who can make 20 regular drinks in that time .
clint brunke YEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!! I've seen it and had to deal with "professional" bartenders in my dive bars. They never last an entire shift. Fetal is a real position and they are always in it about midway through rush. I will throw them in a stool and let them whimper while I finish out the shift. It's better for every one that way.
clint brunke And I would never pretend to be able to perform mixology on the same level they can. I mean, I can make a mean craft cocktail, but I don't want to have to do that day in and day out. I prefer the mad rush and mayhem of a crazy dive bar at rush. I will pour an entire bottle of booze into the right amount of shot glasses for a group of regulars who love me and my bar any day of the week before I have to muddle an entire bag of lemons for the perfect group of lemon drops (which often happens to me as well) for a group of pretentious mid-range women on Blues Night. Just my preference.
Wow, these guys have some serious self-esteem issues.
"When I go to the dentist, I go to the dentist. I just go to a good dentist. You don't have a special name for a dentist that's actually good..."
Wow, that line was great. I see this trend at work and some of my hobbies. Programmers saying they're "software engineers" cause they feel they're smarter. Breakdancers calling themselves "bboys" because they feel they're a cut above the rest. Ego.
So he never heard of an orthodontist, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, endodontist, pediatric dentist, periodontist, or prosthodontist? xD
Woooosh
yeah but those orthdontists, oral surgeons, and the rest specialties you mentioned, actually do very different things that you are not even allowed to practice if youre not certified because someones health would be in danger. These so called "mixologists" and "cocktologist" and whatever do the same shit that every other bartender does, mix different liquors with other ingredients, but they actually do it slower. They cant last a whole shift on a busy bar a friday night, not even with a barback and a second bartender helping them. So instead of being called a shitty bartender, they prefer to be called a "mixologist", of course. Whats next, firemixology? "I do firemixology, my drinks all have lame ass fire on them."
That's what businesses call programmers. That's literally the title they're given.
@@OpinionMan100 You can't expect an idiot to be better than an idiot.
A software engineer is a title thats legit what you are after you finish school and it gives a more specific answer you inbred.
Holy shit, did you guys watch any of your other videos?
Go work in a beer bar if you are too lazy to make a cocktail with more than four ingredients.
"If it takes you longer to make and explain the drink than It takes for me to drink four of them, it's probably not a bar I want to hang out in." -Anthony Bourdain
I do get some of the points here but this is pretty pretentious.
Some people take pride in their work, and view food and drink more like art than just food or drink. It is the difference between someone who truly loves what they do, and has the creative spark to go above and beyond and someone who is there just for a paycheck.
Yes, at the end of the day you are giving someone booze, but there are people who appreciate the quality of the product they use and want to showcase it in a creative way. It is no different than a chef experimenting with exotic ingredients just for the fun of it.
For example, I like manhattans. If i find a really delicious small batch rye whisky, I may seak out the small batch and artisanal vermouth, and bitters. This is not because I want to be fancy or some shit, but because I genuinely love the craft and want to experiment with new things.
Take some pride in your work and maybe you won't be so jaded.
You're exactly the type of guy who needs to learn the lessons in this video lmfao
@@XxxTheFireEmblemxxX Well if seeking out a good product is such a bad idea, people would just stick to Smirnoff and Budweiser instead of trying something like Wyborowa or Lagunitas.
2:43 "Cocktologist"? I know what that guy used to moonlight as.
I love you, Jeremy Hawn.
I don't call myself a bartender but I also don't call myself a mixologist more like a beertender or just a drink server
As a customer, in the city that I live in, the bartenders look bored and some look young. You got to pry them away from their cell phones, ( similar to gas stations cashiers) because he or she becomes so shy, or they pretend to be. I f the customer is another race ( skin color) the customer service lately has gone done. I thought at first it was because they were friends, but when they talk you can tell they don't know each other. A lady bartender seemed nice at first as she says hello, but once conversation kicks in she gets rather aloof. This can be when it's busy or slow. Some bars , like the pool halls Lack good food. so you end up leaving for that reason.
A mixologist is just a bartender that can't fight.
I'm a bartender and I hate when bartenders are cocky. There's a lot of them....
1:38 that guy took shots at Pete
I feel like I need to donate to that one dude with the sickeningly thick 5 o'clock shadow. My god, this man must spend hundreds a month on razors. What a fucking beard. I'd pay him money to grow it for a year. And I'm straight.
As someone who is not a bartender but has a nice home bar and likes to make a wide variety of cocktails, my pet peeve is any bartender who thinks the customer doesn't know their stuff simply because they are on the other side of the bar. These types are usually mediocre in their craft. If you've done it professionally for a while but I can make a better drink than you, there's a good chance you suck at it.
barchitect 😂
K Funk Right?!!!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I am so stealing that!!!
K Funk Cocktologist!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Stealing that one too!!!!
Damn hipsters.
Destroying America, they are.
I wouldn't actually say they're the ones who truly destroy your country :)
Well, engladtur, that's because you are the problem. Now go away.
Brandon, just because you don't like arm garters doesn't mean you can't wear a v-neck if you're going to wear your shirt unbuttoned.
Hmmm... So no body hates bar-flare? Cos I feel the trend should be more around to some degree. (Other than Vegas or TGIF)
You can make a flaming long Island with 49 different layers, that's great, you still fucked up my Laphroaig neat. It's literally whisky in a glencairn... No ice, no water, whisky and a glass.
when I did it ''bartending'' we were "' drink slingers"...
Jillian Vose looks like Kassandra from AC: Odyssey
Just get me my bourbon and stop sneering at me!!
Cocktologist, in my world, has an entirely different meaning............uhhh, wait - what did you say? Check please
0:21 soooo that's why Nicholas Bennet was not featured in this episode...
The difference between a bartender and. Mixologist is a person who can invent a drink as opposed to following a recipe
I guess they are talking about getting served by other bartenders. The thing I hate is stopping and talking while we are in the weeds.
Wearing hats. Men don’t wear hats indoors and they certainly don’t wear one behind the bar!!!
Bartenders who leave one drop in a bottle are the worst.
I'm a bartender in NYC. I like this job becux I can wear what I want and make great money. I know I'm there to serve GOOD drinks as fast and efficiently as possible. That is my main objective. Any bartender who fails at this one simple thing needs to find a different craft. It's not that complicated ppl.
Scarlet Spyder how do you make a Michelob?
David Corral by buying it at a store lmaooo
Scarlet Spyder close but it was equal parts of shitty beer and disappointment
David Corral hahahhaha i hate all beer honestly. A nice strong cocktail is more my taste but hey i gotta give them what they ask for 🤷♀️
yah a mixologist and a bartender are definitely not the same thing. and the snarky bartender...Yes let's get rid of that PLEASE
...and only interviews bartenders from NY and CA. cause their opinions is what counts most.
Why someone could not be interrested in what he does and what alchool & ingredients he uses.... if cooking can be taken seriously then why mixing cannot be ? anyway there's different point of view on the job or the career of bartending (Sorry if I made mistakes writing.. i'm french Canadian)
You missed the point. They talking dissing being interested in perfecting your craft. They are dissing the ego and inflated sense of self-importance that these people adopt.
@@nope5657 You also forgot that they are dissing people who aren't casuals and interested in the low end life of bars. Most of the stuff they seem to go off on seems to come from the business side of things. The wardrobe and etc. Things that were established back when men wore suits and women were mothers.
ahhh i have such a crush on jillian vose tho
Hats indoors, Chad.
when did RWJ become a bartender?
Barchitect...Hilarious!!!!!
Ivy Mix!!
Thank God bartending will change and when it does these people won't be part of the industry anymore
I like these gois
2:35 don't the guy and the girl after look oddly similar. Like they are the same person, but one has hairless smooth skin.
If I'm at some bar where 95% of the guest are drinking bottle beer and a shot I can let this slide, but if I'm at a cocktail bar and you have to google how to make a baybreeze then you shouldn't be in the position you are making the kind of money you do.
Tool4APC2012 There are hundreds and hundreds of drinks and perhaps (or obviously) they don't get that one a lot. Maybe one shouldn't pay 10 times as much for a drink they can make at home if they're going to get pissed at a person for using the tools they have available to make them happy when they have hundreds of other customers they're trying to do the same for of which many are rude and judgmental. I suppose you'd prefer them to wing it or lie and say we just ran out of pineapple?
I LOVE THESE BARTENDERS! I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN ON THIS.
Those were a bunch of bad bartenders
2:27 I cringe when folks tell me they're seeing a periodontist. 😒
I cringe when people think brain surgeon and family doctor are the same :( Kinda like how general dentist and periodontist are the same huh...
0:49 Chad Solomon is describing himself...
😂😂😂😂 bartenders unite!
Cocktail architect?
Chad is quintessential the guy the others are talking about
Oh, that's what happened to Playboy.
WE LIKE BEING MEAN THOUGH.. lol
Why are bars so loud? Can't have even a shouted conversation. Hmm. Concrete floor, metal ceiling, and brick walls "papered" in big screen TV sets. Noise reflects like a pinball table. Damn. (Yes, I'm old enough to have played pinball, and too much time in loud bars in my youth probably damaged my hearing a bit). Point remains. It's called "accoustics".
Also, if no one ever heard of this, sound affects your sense of taste. Loud noises on planes can drastically lower your satisfaction or sense of taste when eating. The same can be said about the bar. I tasted the same cocktail by the same bartender at different levels of annoyance given the groups they bring in and when you are in a quiet environment, you have it easier when trying to taste what is served.
But, a mixologist really is different. They're certified for one, at the least a level 1 bar smarts, and they make they're own syrups and bitters for their cocktails. If I'm making tinctures and shit, I feel more like a chemist than a bartender.
Yup. Anyone can be a bartender, but it takes craft and creativity to be a mixologist
@@caseyadeyemi8817 Mixologist is literally a word that someone came up with because they were embarassed to call themselves a bartender, it's purely ego.
and this is someone who has worked in and owned cocktail bars for the last 17 years, in many parts of the world. I'm a bartender dude, just a very fucking good one. (excuse my own ego there)
"thank you cocktail servant!"
the audio here is the quality of a moldy pb&j
Who cares what the bartender is wearing or how their facial hair is styled?
If they're kind and welcoming, I'm happy to be there.
God these people are pretentious
Everything related to food and drink has gotten so pretentious and hipstery it's maddening. But that's the kind of people these guys want to cater to. The "I'm too good for" crowd. The "But is it organic" group.There are assholes on both sides of the table any more and nether has a fraction of the class or sophistication they need to back up their egos.
Lmaoo he looks like shane dawson
Chaim could be played by Nick Cage.
"im not a fan of the shakers and bar spoons" so you aren't a bartender...lol
He said shaker and bar spoon tattoos
