Real recognize real when he said “I gotchu”
Hell yeeah!
Yep!!!
Damn I relate 😂 A part of me thought to myself “this is a guy I can trust”
I was skeptical until he said this😂
NO, FACTS!
0:11 "i got chu" thats one reliable man
Very reliable, Samir...as in, save-babies-from-a-burning-building reliable. I got chu.
Factsssssssssss yo he made me feel like everything was okay the second he said that hahha
I say that all the time. He’s definitely real. ❤😂
1. Learn the skills and get knowledgable
2. Memorize your drink recipes (you only need to memorize 50-60 to get hired)
3. Goal-setting
4. Create a powerful cover letter and resume
5. Hit the pavement (follow a plan to get a bartending job quickly)
6. Follow-up
7. Nail the interview
So you gotta be an alcoholic before bartending, got it 🤣
Only 50-60 Jesus !!!

Or your mum can work at a bar then just get her boss to hire you with no experience and freshly 18 years old (in Australia btw) then boom bag secured
You need to learn about mixology and if you literally know nothing go be a barback first. You can learn on the job and do research in your own time. You’ll be the best bartender they’ve ever seen in no time if you really commit to the grind.
Came for the information, stayed for the dad jokes.
My daughter would love you right now for saying that.
@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman also thank you for the videos, I'm starting a 2 week placement, at a cocktail bar starting Monday, so I'm gaining as much knowledge as I can so I don't feel like a complete potato when I go, your videos are so helpful
Liam northall Awesome! I’m sure you’ll do great. Keep me updated on how it goes.
Liam northall how did it went ?
how did it went bro?
When I went to the bartending school, I was fresh from Romania, didn’t speak the language and I had to learn 140 drinks. I have been a bartender for 6 years now. Make sure you don’t work in a depressive crowd kind of bar, go somewhere where people are happy. The rest will fall into place if you put the effort in.
this is really good advice! thank you(:
@@runelastname2003 You’re welcome and I wish you all the best on your journey ❤️
About how much do you make a night, if you don’t mind me asking?
Really good to read something like this because I'm trying to get a job as a bartender abroad and this is basically my description hehe
@@tinicoleofficial none of ya beezguts
Accidentally got a bartending job for a super fancy event and have zero experience. Need this rn
Nice accident you stumbled into there Noa. No matter what happens, just know that when the event is over, you'll know more than you did at the start, and now you'll have some experience to put on your resume. It's a good thing. You'll do fine.
So uhhhh how’d it go?
YE FR HOWD IT GO
Did it go well?
It's been a year already and the suspense build up is intense
2:44 starts step #1
Thx
Garden Girl thx ✌️
Thanks so much
u got me
O
“I’m gender supportive “ lol love it
Aka not tryna get striked
"girlfriend... Or boyfriend.. I'm gender supportive" king shit!! Love to hear it
Saw this video a couple months ago and i now have a job as a bartender 🤩 thanks
Fantastic Michael! Congrats. Knock 'em dead!
Did you take his course?
I’ve been a bartender for over 25 years, and now a bar manager. First of all, save your money, and do NOT go to a bartending school !! The only way to learn is by actually getting behind the bar, and learning how to pour drinks, interacting with customers, and keeping your area clean, stocked and organized ! If you have to start by being a server, or bar back , well do it, it won’t take long to step up if you’re really wanting to become a bartender. Listen to this man, he’s spot on ! Always treat your customers like they’re your new bff, that’s how you get regulars, and that’s where you start making money ! Never let them see you mad, frustrated, having a bad day, etc…. Listen to their problems, they don’t want to hear yours ! Listen to us veteran bartenders, we know what we’re talking about, we haven’t been in this business for our health for sure !! It can really be fun if you let it !

Good stuff CMC. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
I’m a barista wanting to learn this bartending craft thank you I’m gonna keep coming back to this video a bit more to keep up following this path.
Same omg
Same!
same ! they’re so similar
@@brielziebub I will agree and can see how you would say they are similar, but Alcohol is a whole another world, also you are wanting the customer to stay. Basically its different mindsets, and customers. Then there is the whole tips thing.
Confidence and consistency.
S-T-U-N i meant the drink making aspect. it’s a service role so it’s much more involved
What is amazing is bartending may not be hard like other professions yet so many are not good. So maybe it is not as easy as people believe. It is like cooking. Everyone cannot cook even with a recipe. Good information.
Very good analogy Miss Girl. Creating great drinks certainly takes a refined skill. For those who do become bartenders, fingers crossed that they receive good training.
Yeah you are so right its like cooking , you can say cooking is not brain surgery but there is a knack you have to have for cooking passion for the taste of the food and the outcome.
Most People just suck at everything just look at how people drive
Took this guys course within 2 weeks I became a Bartender at one of the busiest bars in south Florida (with no previous experience). Seriously if you want to become a bartender this guys course its more than worth it.
I appreciate the kind words Dominick, and I can't tell you how fired up I am for you. I love a happy ending (get y'all's mind out of the gutter; you know what I mean). Knock 'em dead Dominick!
@@KleWdSide The office in Delray beach FL. come see me I’ve been working as a bartender for 3 months. Learned everything from Dave’s course. Your just scared to make a move.
which bar
I not even old enough to drink but I already chose my side job.
You can’t poor alcohol then ?
@@jackstamford9937 no... i dont think you are even allowed to enter a bar if you’re under age.. being a bartender is out of the question.
@@jackstamford9937 most states you can serve alcohol at 18 but you have to be 21 to bartend
@@allieb7258 no there are 25 states that let you bartend at the age of 18
This is so well-rounded! I never expected to hear about goal setting and the power of the follow up outside of sales.
Definitely the best bartending info on TH-cam. Thank you
Thanks for the kind words Anthony. It's true that everybody trying to become a bartender is focused on the wrong thing. There's a formula that works, no matter what industry you're going into. All you have to do is take the action.
Take care!
Good info
I’m showing this to my 18 year old kids just for advice! This is awesome . Thank you!
You had me at the “I gotchu” I laughed at the “How you doin?” And I was in tears at “It’s M A G I C… that’s a rainbow” honestly the best video I’ve ever seen for people interested in this type of career
Very grateful for this video!!!! This was my first video I clicked on once I decided to learn about bartending, and I received way more than I imagined! I have finally decided to try and pursue a career in bartending. I always believed I had the qualities to be successful at this job, and you just confirmed that! I’m anxious to dive into your free course asap and learn what more there’s for me to learn! Being a foreigner and not having my support system on this continent, made me take longer, but frequent compliments about my accent made me realize that my difference (ex-insecurities) can maybe be turned into an advantage 😁. So thank you so much mr Allred for taking time to share your experience! I hope it makes your day knowing that one video alone already made a huge difference in me! Stay blessed!
Thanks for the kind words Laurushka. It does make my day that I'm helping you out in some way. Keep forging ahead and you'll eventually arrive at your destination. It's impossible not to when you never stop. Cheers.
@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman appreciate your reply! I purchased your course and just finished reading “Guess Who’s Back” section. Love your honest, funny, and brutally honest writing style! 😄
Been a bouncer atta night club for years, just recently thought bout bartending . Appreciate the info and motivation
I've been told for a while now, since I graduated High school c/o 2015 by older co-workers that they thought I would make a good bartender. Personally I don't see it, but lately I've been considering it. Thanks for the advice.
Its about 6am, im up heading to work after finding out my bonus check was about 90% less than expected....i need something new.
90% less? Ouch Khris! Sounds like you do need something new. Sometimes it takes something negative to happen to motivate us and push us in another direction, so what seems like unfair events in our life, turns out to be the best thing that ever happened because it sparks change. And change is good. Best of luck Khris.
Just signed up for your course, glad I decided to do it today because it was almost closed!! I'm so excited to learn from you and your successes in the industry. Recently I did interview for a position which I did fib a little saying I tended for a few months, a few years back, cause NYC is brutal if you don't have experience in almost any industry. So I want to really make sure when I step behind the bar I don't seem completely lost. Hopefully I make it past my trial shift. Will keep you posted!!
Welcome to the tribe, robertjayp. Great to have you. There's never been a better time to land a bartending job than now with the labor shortage. Get out there and kill it, and let us all know when you land that job. Cheers.
@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman Landed one job less than 2 weeks after signing up for TRBC. And just landed my second job today, as long as I don't completely screw it up, that is. I live in NYC so that's a standard way of talking to a new employee LOL
Thanks for everything man! You've really helped change my life. IN 2 WEEKS!!!! WHAT?!?!
DAVE IS THE REAL DEAL! Without this course I'm not sure I would've had the balls to walk in and present myself the way I did with 0 experience. Also, I lied on my resume because nobody in NYC will hire a bartender without experience and even getting barback/server positions is HARD. So that just says wonders because I've managed to work a couple shifts and not look or feel like an idiot.
@@robertjayp Amazing what you can do when you decide to stop thinking about doing something and actually taking action to do it. So glad that the course helped you achieve your goal. Congrats!
Sounds fake.
I recently finished a Flair Bartending course, and I can't wait to start working! Your video has some pretty valid points, so thank you for taking your time to give us those tips. I have a few goals already, such as owning a bar in the future. But I guess I'll enjoy making my fair share of drinks first :)
I was never any good a the flair. Probably would have hit myself in the head with a bottle. I'll leave the flair to you Deus.
Thank you, Dave! Great video🙏
How cool! I grew up in Walnut Creek. Learning about bartending now as a side gig.
Man, I doubted the hell out of you (and me), but after 11 days, I got my first job as a barback. Here’s hoping the bartending is coming soon!
My man, Anthony! Congrats! Another success story. Your biggest downfall won't be your inexperience, it will be your limiting beliefs and doubting yourself. Time to stop doubting and just continue to take daily action and chip away until you get what you want. Learn all you can as a barback, and then keep it your goal to become a bartender. Don't get stuck as a barback forever.
Well, after 6 days of working as a barback, putting in the work, I have been promoted to bartender!
Way to go Anthony! That's awesome. Thanks for the update.
not like it is a big deal to be a barback. Idk where u live but for example in London u could get a barback job in like 1 hour. Even in a big prestige bar. Not a big deal at all. Many of the barbacks cant even speak english. I consider this job equal to a kitchen porter... the lowest level of hospitality... nothing special... get promoted to be a bartender is like a couple of months maximum... if you speak english and ur not completely retarded (like 80% of hospitality ppl actually ARE) of course. So do not think about it as a wonderfully great achievment like being a brain surgeon or something... cuz man.. its not like that... And a lot of people complaining about the low salary and shit.. cmon .. XD U just fucking need to know your place in society thats all... other ppl are put a lot of effortnin their lives while you just.... basically serve drinks bro.. thats it..
Thanks for the reply Matthew.
We appreciate you taking the time out from calculating launch trajectories and feeding the homeless at the neighborhood soup kitchen to kindly judge our aspirations and successes.
I know your TH-cam channel must be a front for the actual secret and successful life you lead, because all I see on there are subscriptions and liked videos of bands, fantasy gaming sites--with lots of goblins and warlocks battling middle earth, etc...
So while I think your advice to Anthony that “U just need to know your fucking place…” as well as your insightful and grammatically acute observation that “other ppl are put a lot of effortnin their lives…” is extremely valuable and constructive, I’m not sure how much mentorship Anthony is seeking from a jobless, gaming 30-year old living in his parents’ basement stroking his guitar and watching wizard gaming videos and the TBS Harry Potter marathon.
Cheers (or as Harry would say, “Expecto Patronum”)
Dave
"yea how ya doin "love ya man 😂😂😂😂
I been bartending part time at a hotel for about 2 months now. I just landed a bartender job at one of the busiest restaurants in the state. I’m a need all the knowledge I can get.
He's right, the follow up is important and most bar managers are so busy they can't remember who they interviewed. So you kind of have to help them by showing up inquiring and getting a hard yes or no. Also they will give you feedback as to why they didn't hire you.
Good point about getting feedback from the hiring manager. That information is like gold!
@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman YOU"RE AWESOME!
Gave me a lot to think about. Thank you!
Currently working as a barback at a popular nightclub in my city, working my way up to bartending. This video was very informative.
Did you become a bartender? You should have had the time to learn by now if you kept going.
Great intro. I got you. Lol loved it. Must watch! Thanx Bro!!
You rock bro. And thank you for sharing your golden wisdom
You got me with just the Video, I will Definity be taking the course, signing up tomorrow, I'm a F & B Supervisor, I have dipped and dabbed in bartending over the course of 20 years, just never settled on the Profession, my customer service stills are excellent, now I wish to complete my skills with the gift of Tending Bar as I service my customers or a least be comfortable enough to know that the employees are comfortable and knowledgeable on the subject and have the skills to Proform well.
Right on Jacquelyn! Knock 'em dead.
When he said " I gotchu" my heart said, ok I found exactly where I need to be, and I settled in
Ty for the info, very helpful.
I just bought your book, I can't wait to get started on putting my new found knowledge to good use!!
Right on! Don't stop until you land the job.
Thanks Dave! your videos are really helping! Keep the good work!
Thanks for the kind words Antonio. I will do my best.
It's all about who you know, and proving you can kick ass... network, network, network! Get to know people in the business. I was a server for 6 years and wanted badly to break into the business. A friend led me to a position serving weddings and events, and I basically made myself the barback... need glasses? I gotchu! Need cases of beer? I gotchu! Bar never shared tips with servers, but they were so appreciative they agreed to tip out to me. Honestly, all I wanted was a chance to try it out. One day they hadn't scheduled enough bartenders for this huge event, and as I was barbacking, my manager said ok Sarah, we need you to hop on the tiki bar. It was pure chaos, but it gave me the confidence from then on that I could handle anything thrown at me. Network and kick ass, and eventually someone will give you a shot.
Love this Sarah! You nailed it perfectly. You did everything necessary to get to your goal. And of course, I love the "Whatever you need, I gotchu!"
Great content! Thanks Dave!!
I just got hired as a bartender and they are fully aware I have zero knowledge or experience. I am working full-time in technology consulting though, and I basically have just always wanted to be a bartender.
Wow the training is so amazing
Hey Dave! Two questions:
I have recently been thinking about making the switch to bartending but my recent background is in tech. The two fields couldn't feel more different. Do you know of folks who have made this drastic of a switch?
I also have a background in social services, specifically working in homeless shelters. Through those years, I developed incredible de-escalation skills. So my question is: how often are these skills needed at a bar? Is this a skill worth bringing up in an interview? Or putting on a cover letter?
Our bartender just quit, and I was asked to help, I have been a hostess, and I don't drink at all, and I felt awkward, but just started listening to people and made it through the day. I'm here for a 101 class 😊
I just joined your course! I am excited for this journey
Right on! Very excited for you as well Danae. Go kill it!
I work at Red Robin and they have a bar there and I think it looks interesting to learn about it despite me not into alcohol I always wanted to make a drink for myself or to just learn in general.
If l have no experience before in bartending , how can I make powerful resume and cover letter to impress the employer? If I have no experience ,how to be hired?
ramprasad sapkota That’s exactly what I teach in the course.
That opening line made me crack up!!!
Hardest part of bartending for me is memorizing peoples’ faces and names. Gotta make those regulars feel like family!!
I want to comment on the 5th follow-up. I have a felony. It's really hard for me to find a job. The job I found was only aquired after I showed up time after time, 5xs actually!! I started out in the dish out, got promoted to prep cook, eventually transferred to consessions(I work at Roadhouse Cinemas in Tucson AZ), and after a lot of persistence and showing that I really wanted a shot, I finally got a shot at bartending. I'm mid training right now, but I did it!! My advice for any goal, keep trying!!
This is awesome Clarence. This is exactly why I teach this in the course. Nobody realizes the power of the follow-up. Managers LOVE it when they see someone so committed that they don't give up. It's the sign of a great employee. Thanks for sharing your story.
Great vid! I'm 14 years old and I'm still in secondary school, in the future I hope that I will be a bartender!👍🏻
me too!!
aada same lmaoo
same lol
I totally wanna be a bartender and can tell this guy is the one to go to just because of the "I got you"
Oh man. Went to bartending school last month, already worked a few high volume bartending shifts for an event company, and still shitting my pants when the new work flows through.
When you said I gotchu I liked
His step #3 anthony robbins comment cracked me up. Went back to hear it again.
Excellent Video, very well made
I’m glad I found this video I’m going to watch the rest of your videos as well 🤗 I’m moving to las Vegas in about 2 months and would like to bartend to bring in additional income. I still want to go to bartending school but I want to learn as much a I can before hand.
FashNForward Daily good luck!
Thank u Dave 💯👍🇯🇲
I wish I could favourite or like this video 100 times just for Dave's P-E-A-K comedy MAN oh man
Love your video new subscriber I’m going to apply apply at some spots this week and am superrrr nervous no prev bar experience but I’m going to fake it until I make it and study until then lol thanks for the info
Atta kid, Leah. Knock 'em dead.
Thank you. I’ll reach out to you. I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge and skills👌
Thanks for the videos
Im so very interested to become a bartender someday after i graduate. I pursuing Bachelor of science hotel and management and i also much more time flairing and mixing cocktails im so happy to get an information about to become a bartender
Thank you so much for the help
Question were do I put the liquid.
2nd interview with O'Charleys later today. I didn't exactly take less than 21 days on my particular journey (really more my own fault, and a little bad luck), so it feels like i have a holy grail near my hand. Thank you for your content Dave Allred!
Atta kid, Jim. 2nd interview is a very good sign in this industry. It's not like the corporate world. Let me know how it goes.
Result: I was informed they were fully staffed at this time, but they'd keep my resume on hand.
Luckily i got an email from another place i applied for, I could get another interview scheduled.
Never stop! Never stop! Never stop! Do you see a pattern here?
Haha i don't plan on stopping. I'm happy that there's actually places interviewing me. I squeezed some experience from working with a catering company on the side, so....I plan to keep swinging my bat and following up with employers. I would be damned if i spent the rest of my life writing loans.
@@revolvichouseSo where are you now ? Haha
Thanks man
Your awesommeee thank you
thanks so much man, im trying to study bartending early so that when i graduate ill be ready for some jobs :)
Awesome Leon, best of luck to you.
so spot on man!
Thanks Jeffersonian. Love that name, btw. It's so...Founding-Father-like.
thank youuu! i have an interview at 12pm and know almost nothing. still hope that i get it tho lmao
When he said 'you're probably asking who is this guy' I absolutely was NOT. I'm 21 and will take any/all information I can get
Yup, and I start Saturday afternoon
So my goal is to be an emt but I would very much like to do this on the side I won't a colorful life one I can be satisfied with and I think your tips can help thank brother
bless ur heart ♥️ thank you
You cool ash😂💯🏋🏾♂️
Thanks Dave
When he said “stop it” i stopped lol
I don't believe goal setting is synonymous with success, rather the mentality it takes to set goals being succinct with performance.
I would agree with you on that, Madwood.
How do you not have more subs? Very helpful, sir!
Thanks Truth Seeker. My goal is to provide as much value as possible and whoever comes will hopefully get something out of it.
I really want to learn so im going to do my best to learn
U sound like Tony Robbins dude. Good vid.
Don't know about that, but I'll take it. Thanks.
Bartenders are usually in short supply. Walk up somewhere where they look for people. Even with zero knowledge they usually give you a chance. If you manage to not be a tripping hazard and do some stuff during the first two nights you'll be fine. - Also don't be afraid of quitting and going somewhere else if the clientele, coworkers, management, style, music, location, tips, equipment or whatever else is not what you're looking for. There are plenty different places and being "in the right place" makes a HUGE difference.
Your personality is super bomb ! I had to subscribe lol
Right on Leea. Great to have you here.
I'm trying to create my own bar in Guam after my time in service in the air force. I still have like 15 years left, but is there anything i should do to take my first step towards my goal?
"haha yeah how you doing"😂😂😂
This videos had as much knowledge as Ted Talks😂🙌 great videos!
Brilliant!
Well that's just flat out kind Laura. Thanks a million.
Informative video I like it
As someone who signed on to a catering job, where I can pick certain roles and bartender is one of them which I want to try but I have no experience but no time to do a bartender course
0:9 best intro everrrrr
Started bartending training today, The Light 🏠 Texas
My fear is gone you rock love from London 🇬🇧
Atta kid, James. Love hearing that you extinguished your fears. Go London!
There are a lot questions I want to ask, but one or two things come to mind:
1) Do I need a license or certificate if I plan to become a bartender?
2) Must I taste test some or few alcoholic drinks?
Hey Selena, to answer your questions:
1) I have a video on that right here: th-cam.com/video/BsD4O7_Qq58/w-d-xo.html
2) Yes, definitely! Take a straw and hold your finger on the end to get just a bit so you can taste what you're making and make adjustments until you feel comfortable. I still taste-test all my margaritas because I want them that perfect balance of not too sweet and not too sour.
@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman nah you gotta taste at least an oz worth
My dad has a friend who was a bartender and it looks cool
When he said, “I’m gender supportive….” I’m sold.
Randomly became a bartender, had about 1 hour of training on the job. Have never drank a single beer in my life I dont drink alcohol.
I dont know how I got here. Almost cried from the stress on the job and still powered through. (Boss was happy made big money all alone that night tho I thought I am going to loose my job lmao)
I am good in fashion, art and IT.
Why am I working as a bartender now.
I just gave myself a dutch oven and its kinda nice
😎
My is 20 years old because I’m a dyslexia student so like learning disability so any advice sir thanks
