> was it worth it?
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Bartending School on your resume
will NOT help you get a job. Having said that, bartending school can help you
in other ways. I went to a hands on school. 600 bucks later, I knew 200+
recipes by heart, could pour it without thinking, knew what garnish goes with
what, what a speed pour, production pour, measured pour, *.pour is. Learned
the intricacies of floating liquors/liquers, blending drinks, mixing drinks
(to this day, I have yet to meet a bartender that stirs a drink properly), and
the laws. Most important thing I got out of the school was confidence. If
someone asked for a Ramos Fizz, I KNOW I can make it, cuz I did it a thousand
times before.
Good luck
