Become a Bartender - The Bar Set-Up

[@nikkiday9169]

I bartended years ago and recently just got hired to bartend again. I just registered for the online bartending course Dave is offering and I’m so excited to start! I believe this will take me to the next level of bartending. I’m always looking to best at what I do. Thanks Dave! 😊

[@deepakpetwal920]

Cool bar setup everything at one place .

[@craiggirolami5895]

One note, the three sink is wash (soap) / rinse (water) / sanitize! I think you mis-spoke. Great T-Shirt and I am enjoying your videos!

[@animeahpal8881]

I have commented on one of your previous video. Dave I can't afford to go and learn from a bartending school. What I can do is I can work harder more than enough to learn bartending from you. Any work , I meant it, cleaning the floor, cleaning the restaurant, mopling the bar anything, I just want to learn Dave.🙏🙏

[@ammosophobia]

Don't forget to run hot water down the draught beer drain lines - they can get funky.

[@jennmariedeloshia427]

This is wonderful. Thank you for posting the videos. I feel like I am ready to get back behind the bar.

[@markama]

You have to burn the ice also at the end of day and get fresh one in the beginning

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Yes, good tip David.

[@SargenSmee]

Thanks Dave! Very informative on what's what. I'm about to start casual work and will possibly be behind the bar. This is an excellent introduction.

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Thanks Sargen. Best of luck to you.

[@joses2505]

[@maggieomalley7861]

So informational, thank you!

[@gebronthomasson6960]

This is an absolute life saver thanks

[@patriciamortarotti3539]

I've always placed the spill mats with the Brand Name, here it's Tito's, facing the customer, is this a big deal? Thought they gave them for advertising purposes?

[@YelløwKing666]

Love most of this. The glass bottles of grenadine and whatever shoved deep in the ice stresses me out lol but other then that I can tell you know your shit. Also I’m jelly. Id LOVE a dishwasher behind the bar.

[@Kittybearxo]

I like how your bar is set up, very nice.

[@audiemuniz6445]

Nice bar

[@anastasiacobaine470]

Thank god for this!!

[@rossross9281]

Looks like a cool bar. I’d like to have a tipple there 🍹

[@garys9718]

I thought the fruit flies offered extra texture to the drink 🤣🤣great video though

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Ahhhh yes, the ever so tasty fruit fly garnish.

[@shishgeor]

Great videos! I love them. You are very experienced and entertaining! I have a video request you might be interested in. Can you make a video on house party list of essential alcohols for cocktails to buy? We are making a big party for 31st December and me and a friend of mine are going to be making cocktails, but we are not exactly sure what is worth to buy and what not to make the maximum amount of cocktails.

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Hey Bat, thanks for the message. Happy to take requests. Let me see if I can get something made before your party.

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Took awhile Bat, and I know you've probably already planned your party by now, but your video is ready. Hope it helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqbSaop8m85lY68

Lot's of love and respect to you sir !

[@davidalen9279]

absolutely excellent sir. second to none.

[@ulrikehutter7258]

I think the bar is to less light up, is it in reallife lighter ? sorry my English is not good

[@eraserheadcurry9355]

Thanks man! Needed to refresh my memory. Start a bar again this week

[@c21vivian]

So cool thank you!

[@Samantha-ov1dx]

My bar manager will not allow the ice bin to be uncovered. Immediately after using it, the lid must be pulled back shut. It gets tricky when we're very busy, opening and closing it again and again! Also not allowed to keep anything in the ice bin, except ice. Is it a health code violation to keep the bin open and/or bottles of things stored in the ice bin? I understand my manager's thought process, but it would be so much faster and easier to keep it uncovered

[@FRANK-oc8ku]

OHHHH ,MAN U ARE THE BEST, THANK U SO MUCH

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Nah, you're the best Rommel. I'm just the guy with the whiskey. Oh, wait, that does make me the best. 😜

[@amandasummers7881]

Do you allow your bartenders to accept shots or other drinks from customers?

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

This is a great question Amanda. I do not believe in allowing the staff to drink. It's a liability issue and it can reflect bad customer service. With that said, I'm not a prude about it. I've worked in many bars where drinking was allowed. My suggestion there would be to only allow one shot per hour with the limit being up to three shots total. No more. For those who don't really want to drink with the guest but do want the big tip for being so fun, I always made fake shots for them. Fill a shot glass almost to the top with water and put a splash of tea or coke in there and it looks just like Jameson or Crown. Works like a charm and your staff doesn't get wasted.

[@elvismauricioreyesgarcia8836]

Saint Felix Hollywood need new orange floor mats, please 🙏 The Bartender will be very Happier \m/

[@alexandergardner3974]

Where can I find the opening checklist that you use in this video? Is there a closing list as well?

[@benjaminyirenkyi426]

Do you sit?

[@kristis9388]

I prefer facing bar Mat towards the customers

[@joshuatejada5699]

Is having the bus tub and liquor on the floor a health hazard?

[@craiggirolami5895]

It is not a hazard, however in my jurisdiction (based on food code) it is a violation. Must be stored 6” off the ground on a cleanable surface (like a dunnage rack)

[@marthagasewa1708]

Can i come and work is this bar😊😊

[@jamesredmond4587]

Is there a certificate or anything like that i would get after completing your course that might look good on a job application?

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Hey James. So you know, certifications are worthless when it comes to bartending schools and online courses. Savvy bar managers could care less about a certificate created in a Word document and printed out. This is where bartending schools fool you into thinking their certificates have value. If you haven't watched it yet, I have a video that goes into more depth here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKSnZYJtlLaka5o Best of luck.

[@theweekendhomestead]

Perfect timing

[@jerichosurbano2989]

Okay

[@toxiknao8826]

I have a question. I always wanted to open up a bar. Even if im the only bartender. Is it better to create a menu for drinks? Similar to restaurants. (The bar will be very small) or is it better to have the diversity needed to create anything and everything thats ask in efforts to keep customers. I ask this cause they're times where I asked for a certain cocktail and they wouldnt have the ingredients. Does that diminish your ability as a bartender/bar owner?

[@ktb7554]

have a drinks menu i know for ireland at least its traditionally guinness whiskey and lager that’s sold so cocktails are a new enough thing here, having a drink menu let’s the customer feel confident ordering a drink they may have never tried before also it should have a list of what it contains having a set menu for cocktails allows the bartenders to master those specific drinks and gives better quality also consistency is a big part so having a menu of say 10 drinks allows the bartenders all to make each drink the same every time and keeps consistent quality, try know what the common drinks for your area is and put them on there.

[@kierenmoore3236]

Sprite isn’t Lemonade?

[@anastasiacobaine470]

Please make more videos. The other bartending videos from other KZbin re are not as entertaining and they don't show what being behind the bar is really like.

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Alright Anastasia, will do.

[@factfactory575]

Vegas has some of the laziest bartenders in the country. They have full bars just like the one you have educated us on but if you ask for a cocktail of any sort, they almost always try to resist making it. They pretty much only want to straight pour and/or hand you a beer and expect $5-$10 tips. If you want to be a great bartender, come check out our bartenders here and do the exact opposite. Great video though. Very informative and I learned a lot here.

[@GirlGangEmily]

we have the same last name lol

Wow! Really? Do you live in Utah? I have quite a few relatives there.

"The real barman" using Rose lime juice...

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Yes Connor, Rose's Lime Juice is a staple at most bars.

[@josephthepoet2856]

@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman Hate to break it to ya brother, knew you'd get defensive, but that shit doesnt fly anymore! Fast food bartending is over, except for TGI Fridays and Chiles. Squeeze a lime.

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

@@josephthepoet2856 With respect, thanks but you aren't sharing any earth-shattering advice. I understand the value of fresh lime juice. We all do, but there are plenty of guest who still want Rose's lime juice in their gimlets and actually request it. Bartenders should give the people what they want, not what they think they should have. It's like a waiter who refuses to serve a well-done filet mignon because he thinks it's wrong. Give the guests what they want, even if it doesn't seem to be what is best for you, or even for most people. Cheers.

@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman No, Ill never use Roses lime juice EVER again. I spent years using that shit. I always give my guests what they want DaveTheRealBarman. Always. That shit should be illegal. Hangover in a bottle CHEERS!
