When I was "living" at the Millenium UN Plaza Hotel in New York a couple summers ago, I got to know the bartender there and asked him if bartending school was worthwhile.
He said that he hadn't gone to bartending school -- but his father had owned a bar.
Hmmm...
Nothing like a little on the job training.
My opinion is that there is a huge difference in bartenders. I love to find a real "mixologist" who really knows how to make all of the traditional drinks -- not just pour a shot and add something fizzy -- or know what this years "in" college bar drinks are. Like, what the hell is a Jelloshot?
I strongly suspect (with no personal experience) that the mixologist type in a high class hotel or restaurant could do pretty well -- but that person would really have to know how to mix -- and what glass to use and how to prepare the glass, etc.
To me, those folks are impressive.
Like my former pal at the UN Plaza.
