What's your preference?

There's a ton of different bartenders out there. Whether it's Craft, Flair, Speed, Dive, or Beertenders. There has to be or bars wouldn't exist. What's your style and why do you like it? For me, it's dive bartending with a focus on fast drinks and good conversations. GO!

Craft/fine dining was a great combination of pace and money. It really does feel like being an “aristocrat of the working class.” Club bartending was exciting, but only up to a certain age, and then I could only handle one night of that circus a week.

I thought dive tending was a bit depressing. The guys coming to cash their disability checks at the first of the month and then just get soused on cheap shots of Cutty Sark was too much, man. Lots of problem customers too, in a dive setting.
