How can I get a job bartending (in Chicago) with no experience? (thinking about bartending school)?
I don't really have a strong enough connection to anyone that works at/owns a bar to get a gig through that method. I have some books on bartending and have/am getting some of the supplies for a bartending kit.
The advantage I see to going to a bartending school is partly increasing my comfort level with actually doing the job, but mostly because the schools help place you and have bars they work with to get their students placed. I wouldn't be going into random bars flashing my certificate or whatever, b/c I know plenty of bars DON'T care if you went to a school. I definitely do have the skills from a social aspect to do it, but I just don't really see how to get my foot in the door, and I'd rather pay for bartending school and become a 'tender sooner rather than start out bussing or washing dishes, etc.
Thoughts?
Bonus question, where should I look to get a bartending kit and what's a decent price? Are there any stores to get them at or just online?
Bartending school is a total rip off. The only people who could possibly benefit from it are middle aged yuppies who want to impress their friends at their next dinner party or at the shore this summer. No decent bar hires based on weather or not you went to school. Any place worth bartending at is going to make you work your way up, just get a foot in the door and make it known that your goal is to become a bartender. If your trying to learn the trade, try getting a job someplace that hires bartenders without experience like Red Lobster, (they are notorious for it, they have a hard time staffing the bar because their servers make way more money) it won't be the best gig in the world by any means, but it will get you some experience and instead of paying to learn how to make drinks, you'll get paid to learn. Once you get the experience and the knowledge, it will open up some doors. As for supplies, restaurant supply stores are the best places, all you really need is a church key (beer bottle opener) a mixing tin, and a wine key.
