Nice try, Mr. edit-the-post-and-then-say-"who? Me?" :x!

You got away with it this time, slymeister....since no one caught it and preserved it in a quote.

I would not recommend someone who is already a professional (account.... or what not) to start at a bar, if you were still in school/starting out that woudl be fine cause it shows me you are hard working and does what it takes to get the bills paid.  However you appear to be in your late 30 or early 40's so I'd want to expect that you have already done what it too to get the bills paid and you are in a place where you can be at the bar and socialize oppsed to make ends meet.

In my opinion if you are over 30 moonlighting as a bar keep in an establishment that you do not own in some shape or form would not be a way to get my attention. Even if you just got out of school.

Good stuff...you and Johnny are along the same vein....

Tyler had a good point though as well....

Both views are a bit of a moot point as my clients/prospects are generally in the 50- to 80-year-old range.  So handing out a card at the bar would be few and far between...and only if the conversation went that far.

It would be like Johnny aluded to where--for the most part--no one would be the wiser...

Everyone has had good points to ponder.....from different points of view.

Thanks for the input.  O0

I would like to add something. 

If you can get by without bartending, I recommend trying to fill your time with serious networking that will help boost your business out of the gates.  This may hurt in the short run, but it could pay off big time in the long run.

That's an excellent point, Tylermeister....and one I've wrestled with for a while...

The point is that, with the time and energy going toward punching a clock ANYWHERE for that matter....if at all possibly affordable....that time & energy can go toward further efforts to get things off the ground.

I think I'm leaning in that direction....I have a killer training conference the end of this month in San Diego that will light the fire under my ass and probably make the prospect of bartending grow strangely dim.

BTY...anyone going to be in San Diego Feb. 23rd & 24th?

Went ahead with the bartending gig to fill the gaps for now....

Got hired (today) by a top notch caterer (Paulie...'member Tony's Market?)

Anyway....pretty cool p/t gig...

they do a lot of stuff at Invesco Field (Broncos)...and high didge stuff that Shanahan puts on around town (and at his house) O0

And they do the spread to feed the Broncos everyday they're in town training...

Not sure where bartending for them comes in on that....but I could get on the rotation as a server and rub elbows with'm.

I big difference I have found between the bars in the US (NYC) and Australia were that the bartenders remembered what you ordered and all you had to do was say another one please  - to easy - you def don't get that here - so we were tipping pretty big from great service - think the 10 double jd's contributed to that too.

But for reals it was really nice to have a chat and for the bartender to remember what you wanted, made it nice and easy rather then yelling over the bar! But one time I remember in Ohio when i said "rolling rock" with my aussie accent one guy was like rolling rawk what??? after that i was like pffftt jesse you can order from now on

My mum tendered bar at a wedding functions centre for over 10 years for extra cash, (she works in a medical centre normally) she enjoyed it - was a nice change of pace from an office environment

Hope you are enjoying it :)
