LOL I worked as a bartender and.. dang can be anxiety triggering

I love it bc it keeps me moving a lot but it frustrating too

@@him050you have to stay chill all the time, if you rush surely will making a lot of mistake

Only non bartenders think this

Is it weird I would like to have background music while watching this? Something relaxing

Right! I love the invisible UI immersive mode.

@@chains_of_heaven Invisible UI is usually a sign that you're playing on hardcore mode

Its like real life. Will totally get it when its out. Any release date yet or is this just the demo?

Though he says "Max please" and i was like... why u hate Max, mate?

​@@achekaoso Same

What happened to the old fashioned "excuse me" ??

@@mohsinaziz6367 its a bar thing that u remind people that ur right behind him

​@@GorRexi was totally about to say that too

This is me rn. Watching this after I’ve just finished my 8 hour shift 😂

@@tomhall6458 Lol same, like why am i doing this😂

@@CrayonsYummyYummy probably cuz you love what you're doing. Thats admirable

That last sentence is too real, im watching this on my break rn 🥲💀

Just finished a 10 hour shift to watch someone else make drinks! agree 100%.

I work in the kitchen in a restaurant similar to this here in the states and I can assure you it is just as fascinating as this

They have videos on many different roles in the kitchen

@@Bulletzz303 would it be worth is to switch careers for the thrill? im an electrician in cali

@@muybitchin2180 do it man only one way to find out

@@muybitchin2180 No it wouldnt, youll make far less money for work that I would say may be about the same amount as demanding, but you dont get to choose your breaks, and dont have the option of eventually being independant unless you can afford to rent/buy a place to make a bar to do this in. The people you help appreciate it less, and will complain if they think its mixed wrong even if you did it perfectly, and its not like electricity for a house where it either works or it doesnt. Someone just might pretend they dont like the taste and tell you to make another. Stay an electrician. You did your training and now get to make the big bucks being a tradesmen. Going from that to bartender would be an absolute downgrade.

Me when I’m waiting to get my Stella and the lady in front of me orders two bloody Mary’s and a dry martini

@@maxvader1000 😂

Speak up then and say can you grab me a beer real quick? If the bartender is cool like most are then he will and if they are a dick then maybe find a new bar@@maxvader1000

yeah, i don`t heve taste so much refined to this type of drink, all the drinks he makes look literally equals, or is just me??

Any good bar would pop you a beer real quick.

I was thinking about the same thing.

yes hes a perfect wage slave making the restaurant pounds on the pence....

Being calm like this takes YEEEEARS of practice too, though. Don't forget that. Everyone is panicked early on so there will always be restaurants that have to hire those people, or no one will ever get to this level

This takes skill and as previously stated years of honing. Plus you need to have the proper mentality/demeanor. I've worked alongside enough people who got pissed off for the most inconsequential things... true professionals are hard to find

Do you know what drinks he’s serving at 4:35 in the two glasses, and the red one? It’s hard to understand what he’s saying.

@@rem45acp He says "Bartender's choice", but I really can't tell what he's making, as he's doing it very out of order (serving other customers between), and the bottles don't have labels.

@@schana96 Looks like it’s lemon and lime juice (poured into the same jigger), followed by simple syrup, some darker colored ingredient (maybe honey syrup), and bombay sapphire. Oh there’s also some dashes from a small bottle in there. So maybe a bees knees cocktail but extra sweet with the simple syrup.

must say cocktail bars are hard im currently working in one as its my first job just being 19 with 25 cocktails on the menu. Its hard work but love it wish I could be more like this though ours is very fast paced get the drinks out asap while this is more delicate. Must say has also helped social skills lol

@@rem45acpthe dashes are peschauds bitters

yeah screamed

Yes, it’s a type of art.

There was so much ice, 😭 it makes me cry

this type of bartending is like a waltz, others like an elegant but more carrabien or tiki oriented is like salsa etc. there are different types of. This is not my cup of tea, but watching it is calming and nice, althou I prefer the bit more fast phased bit more freestyle bartending. But everyone does what their personality and vibe matches. This guy is amazing!

@@sozo4483right?? So watery. And he lets the ice just in the tin for so long

@@jamiebadley1172What drink is he serving in the two glasses at 4:35? And the red one after? They look good but I can’t understand what he’s saying

nothing better than being on auto-pilot (zone) to get you through the day

Trust me, this is not busy. This is just a random day at a random hour. This place will be bouncing on a Saturday .

If you do anything for long enough you can make it look effortless eventually

This isn't busy

It's stressful at first but you get used to it and the chatter becomes white noise eventually too. It's surprisingly peaceful once you're comfortable

Better than other European urges

@@jb76489 like?

Im an Engineer as well, but while studying worked in retail and hospitality! I think everyone should do it at some point, it allows a great respect and perspective of people working in service industries

Just don't let your cocktail mix sit in ice for ages before shaking it like he does

@@jackhughes7637 hes doing it right lol. . .it cools the drink to prevent the ice from melting in the glass, reducing dilution while serving

And it doesn't seem really nice to serve it in front of the clients

​@itaca4861 I dont know, seems like a great theme

Whats a 'home bartender'? An alcoholic?

@@EvilTurtle97 Yes, just like a beer enthusiast or a wine connoisseur.

Lots of things are literally poison if you take the dictionary definition, that doesn’t mean they can’t be put to good use or even made into art in the hands of the right person.

Humans have enjoyed fatal activities for years, it's coded into us. Alcohol isn't necessarily poison provided it's consumed in sensible quantities every so often. Everything in moderation as they say and negligible harm will be done.

Essentially marketing

@@hrehanj6219 its literally poison by definition lol , quantity doesnt matter

As someone who doesn’t drink often I’d say that it is ok to drink every once in a while as long as you don’t go all out and get drunk. I enjoy Mezcal and Tequila but I don’t let alcohol control me. I get that it is not only poison for the liver, also for the brain. But I think that you can have a healthy relationship with it. Just like food, some food is bad for you but one can enjoy it without letting it control you and develop health problems because of that.

Not payed enough to work like a madman

@@JW93.you get tips lol. The better you work the more tips you get. Bartenders make so much money especially in places like this where drinks cost $15+

Pretty fast, if he was 3 deep at the bar though he would have to speed it up even more

Well there is obviously some speed ramping going on in the video for editing purposes, but totally agree

Mate try doing a 14 hour shift in a bar on a Saturday and you will realise that quality of service always drops with a massive customer overflow, were all humans, not robots, and were trying to serve people as fast as we can, putting a poxy stopper on some smelly bottle of prosecco that costs like 20 quid is not the biggest concern. Especially when some dickhead comes up to us at 2am asking for 24 whiskey sours and dosent even leave a tip.

So much passive agressiveness when my comment has not even a little hint of disrepect for the work but a genuine question to which you didnt really answered. I'm not going to places servings drinks by the pallet to show off drunkards with shades on in a night club, especially because of that customer base @@crazydublincid900

Why not , especially at a busy hour :D

Chris, best (and most polite) way to get a bartenders attention at a busy lounge/rooftop bar ?

depends where u live but in canada you take a bartending course to get a license, it takes a few weeks but it’s not difficult. after that just go applying at bars/restaurants/hotels.

If you're in the UK, just walk into a bar and ask for a job. So many are ready to take on newbies.

Literally happen to me tonight. First time ever for me. Was able to melt the ice and get back to service in 5 min. It was a collins glass 😢

You are grown up at 18...

@@Yamahan93 America laws about drinking are way too strict than here in europe

@@yashigamingandmore6426 It used to be up to each state what age you could drink. Then Reagan came in and f"d up our whole country and threatened to take any states highway funding if they didnt raise the age to 21

@@yashigamingandmore6426or any other place in the world.

Bro can i get your insta id

why would you not be allowed to watch someone make drinks even if youre not allowed to drink yet lol

I’ve been a bartender for years and honestly it’s really rewarding and fun. I also love the social aspect of it chatting with random guests and sometimes familiar faces all day. Makes the time go faster.
