Well, first off - places like TGI Friday's, Chili's, Applebee's, etc, can be 
much more challenging for a rookie bartender than the corner bar. Not only do 
they do much higher volume overall, but the bartender generally has a load of 
responsibilities on top of just making drinks - and the drinks you do end up 
making, are typically much more involved. You would have probably done 
yourself a favor by starting out as a server and already have been bartending 
by now, and even if you hadn't worked your way up yet, you'd still have the 
restaurant experience to put on your resume. My 2 cents? You're probably 
sticking your nose up at the vast majority of places that you have the 
possibility of landing a job. You won't start out as a bartender in any chain 
restaurant, unless it's a new opening.
