HOW TO GET Your First Bartending Job ‼‼
Bar Interview– Bartending Interview Questions and Answers
What happens during a bar interview plays a big role in whether or not you land that bartending job. Although researching the position and writing a good resume are important, nailing the interview is crucial.
Working as a bartender can be a fantastic job, but it’s not for everyone. During a bar interview, you must remain relaxed, positive, show your personality and your desire to learn and always have great responses to the difficult questions your interviewer will ask.
Below you’ll see bar interview questions which will guide you through what you should and shouldn’t say during your interview. During the interview, remember to avoid one-word replies. And, if at any time your interview is interrupted, which is bound to happen in a busy bar – smile and say hello to whoever comes over. You want to show the interviewer that you have a good attitude, are personable and don’t get easily distracted. The interviewer will be judging you on how you interact with the other staff and customers in the bar to determine how you might be with future customers.
Remember that people want to work with someone they like.
Don’t Forget! Bring a copy of your resume, cover letter, reference letters (if you have any) and bartending certificates you may have. Also bring a pen and paper so that you can take notes – you want to show the interviewer that you are interested in the position and are keen to get the job.
Sample Bar Interview Questions
Bar Interview Questions: Why do you want to work here?bar interview
This question is usually the opening question, and you want to nail it. Have a reason that is specific to the establishment. And not that it’s your favourite place on Saturday night and not that they are the only people hiring right now.
Play to their ego a little and say you like the style of the bar and have recognized how well it is managed from coming in as a customer. Tell them that you think the service is great and that the bar staff seem to work well together. Mention that you would like to work in a professional environment where everyone works hard, but works together.
Bar Interview Questions: Tell me about yourself.
What your interviewer is expecting is something short and sweet. Tell them where you are from, what you’re working towards and what you’ve done to get there. For example, “I’m a student. I’m working towards a degree in… My favourite part of my studies are…
If you happen to lack experience and the interviewer mentions it, respond quickly expressing how you haven’t learned years of bad habits that would have to be undone. That you’re a clean slate in the bar world and you’re ambitious to learn the trade. Tell them you believe attitude and personality is more important and you have the attitude they are looking for. If you don’t have any experience at all, you can offer to work as a bar back to start out and work your way up. Or, if you don’t have any real experience but are confident of your bartending skills, you can offer to work a shift or two for free to prove that you have what it takes to work in a fast-paced environment like the bar industry.
Bar Interview Questions: What are your strength and weaknesses?
The trick question. Go ahead and brag about what you’re good at. “I’m a great conversationalist and can find something in common with the other person quickly” or “I am very punctual, and that spills over into all my work, including returning to customers and checking up on them regularly” or “I have a very strong work ethic and take pride in what I do”.
When you highlight your weaknesses, remember they play on your strengths. For example, “I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist and may spend a little too much time perfecting something” or “I’m full of ideas and sometimes I see what I think is a more efficient way of doing things and make suggestions to coworkers that they may not want to hear” or “sometimes if its a little slow in the bar, I get engrossed in a conversation with a customer and find it hard to cut it off politely so that I can take care of my other responsibilities.”
Bar Interview Questions: Tell me about a difficult customer you had to handle and what you did to resolve the situation?
Have a story ready from your first job. For example, your first burger flipping job during high school when you were trying to save up for college. Let’s say that you had a customer that came in and always wanted to special order a burger – and it was always during peak times when you were busy in the kitchen which slowed everything down. So, you talked to the customer and made him a deal. You told him that as soon as you saw him come in, you would start his special order burger with the next set of meat you put on the grill. He would simply order the same way and then step to the side and wait for his burger. This way, I was able to start his special order when I was ready and it didn’t take a half hour for him to explain his order and for the cashier to find a way to punch it in

I would like to thank Lou, Cindy and Mr. G for all they have done for me to succeed as a bartender! At first, I was a bit skeptical whether or not bartending was for me. I did tons of research and I came across Bartending Training Institute after I read positive reviews off Yelp. For the dude who gave a negative yelp review because BTI doesn't use real liquor, what do you expect? The business would close down with all the wasted liquor. Come on bud, common sense... Anyways I decide to give BTI a try. FYI BTI is located in N. Hollywood (closer to SFV) and I reside in the other valley (SGV). I was willing to drive 45 - 1 hr in traffic just to get taught by the best! With working part time and after the first few courses I took, I felt overwhelmed with all the recipes. But with the help of great guidance from them, it really wasn't so bad. Lou and Mr. G broke down recipes easy for us to remember. Lou would be on your ass if you made a mistake but hey, he's only doing that so you can do it the right way! Plus if you believe bartending is cakewalk, you're definitely wrong. The one catch phrase I'll always remember from Lou is "Hands on the GLASS not on your ASS". He gave me a death stare when I first started with that phrase and ever since I always had my hands on the glass. LOL. As for Cindy, in orientation Lou mentioned one time in class that Cindy is GOD... and it's true. She hooked me up with a gig and a job and I haven't even graduated. Word of advice: Listen everything they preach and you will succeed. I HIGHLY recommend this bartending school to anyone interested in bartending/mixology. They ARE the best in the business!!
