2. Introduction
A bartender is someone who serves drinks behind a bar in a
bar, pub, tavern or similar establishment. This usually
includes alcoholic beverages of some kind, such as beer
(both draught and bottled), wine and/or cocktails, as well as
soft drinks or other non-alcoholic beverages. In
establishments where cocktails are served, bartenders are
expected to be able to mix hundreds to thousands of
different drinks. Bartenders also usually serve as the public
image of the bar they tend, contributing to as well as
reflecting the atmosphere of the bar. In establishments
focused more on food, this can mean the bartender is all but
invisible.

4. Job Prospects
Forecast: 9 percent employment growth for bartenders from
2010 to 2020, slower than the average for all occupations.
This job outlook is due to several factors including the
growing bar and restaurant openings around the country and
the need to staff them, as well as the continued trend of
many people dining out at these establishments. A steady
amount of turnover in this field also accounts for continued
employment. However, the increasing trend of restaurant
take-out or carryout services, may limit the employment
growth of bartenders.
