You are an Excellent teacher, very intelligent & articulate. Have you ever thought of start your own bartending certification school? I would totally pay to learn hands on from you.

Thank you Solar! That means the world to me. It just so happens that I already have a course! I just launched it this summer. I decided to create an online course because I think I can reach more people that way, it's more convenient and I know that I can teach the material in a way that will give you confidence even though it's not an in-person experience. Please check it out on my website therockstarbargirl.com. Definitely check it out soon because right now the entire course is 50% off for my back-to-school sale. The course includes 6 lessons, 2 bonus lessons, quizzes, assignments, flashcard PDFs, downloads, a course completion certificate AND my RockStar BarKit (16 piece custom bar kit with carrying bag) for FREE. Check it out when you can, it might be just what you are looking for. And thank you!

Wow, I normally never comment an any videos, but I can't help but comment on this one! I have to say, you are beyond amazing! You are a natural when it comes to teaching/helping others! I've been looking for alcohol 101 and all the videos that I came across were not very helpful; too difficult to understanding and to follow along with. You are an amazing instructor! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us, it has helped SO much! I will be starting a serving job at a bar and I am nervous and scared because I'm not very familiar with alcohol, but thanks to you I have been able to learn so much! Thank you. Ps. Your are so beautiful too

Thanks for all the info I have learned a lot .I used to work in a club, served a little this a little that. I'm talking about 1994 . Wanted to go to bartender school it was so diff back then. I didn't go through the School is was harder for women back in the days, just like all other things. But I enjoy the new insight u r giving us. Thanks and best of luck on everything that you do. Always watching and learning. Thanks for all the great lessons I have learned lots. Blessings. L
Two weeks ago I was a busboy at a restaurant, and my manager asked me to become a bartender. Not only have I never bartended before, but I’ve never even had a drink before. I knew absolutely nothing about alcohol. I had only five training shifts before working on my own, and I could not have done that without you. Don’t underestimate the influence you have had on thousands of people, whether they want to just learn more about alcohol or how to to bartend. My full-time job is a college professor, and I would stack your teaching abilities up with any of my colleagues. Keep up the great work you do.
The BASIC ... mind blowing!! Thank you so much, it made the whole thing so much easier to understand
Hey RockStarBarGirl! I am 50 years young and just got my first job bartending. Thank you for all of your help!

My first time behind the bar, i was 19 and had an amazing trainer. Asking whoever is training you about liquor you haven't seen is completely dependent on the bar you work in. My bar is pretty slow (Returning serviceman's bar) so i had a lot of time to just chat with my trainer about different liquors and what he commonly uses them in. If your bar is super busy, then of course just read the labels, but if your place is slower and you get along with your trainer then asking them about their opinions of new liquor is a great way to learn very fast. Also, depending on your bar, you might have a lot of time to learn, it took me 5 months before I needed to make anything that wasn't a 1) gin and tonic, 2) rum and coke, or 3) Vodka bitter lemonade. This let me be well prepared for when i DID have to make something other than those, as i had plenty of time to research. Number one priority (in my bar) is pouring a tap beer correctly and using the correct glass/jug, so your number one priority on your first day is to see what are the most common drinks and perfect that before worrying about learning 50 different drinks.
AWESOME video, I learned so much from this, thank you for uploading.

I know this video is over five years old but it is so relevant to me right now. I just have to tell you how much I enjoyed this video. You are so knowledgeable and such a good teacher. I have been wanting to try bartending for a while now but I've always scared myself out of it because I have no experience in the service industry. I have had a "secure office job" for almost seven years which was so boring but now I'm unemployed and trying to do something that excites me. I'm definitely going to check out more of your videos and hopefully it will push me to FINALLY give bartending a shot! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge! 🙏

Hey Tonya, thank you so much for watching. What's holding you back!? There's no time like the present. This is a great industry, especially if you have the passion and dedication it takes to get started. I want you to watch this video of mine where I deliver a message to help every new or wanna be bartender understand why they can start bartending today. kzread.info/dash/bejne/p6Ro3KiHhqqccc4.html The next thing I want you to do is head to my website therockstarbargirl.com and join the mailing list to get your free 40 page e-Book. It gives a thorough overview of all of the topics that I cover in my full online course. If you don't have prior experience, you will want to get yourself a little education to give yourself a fighting shot of getting employed. And if you don't have the money or the time for bartending school, my online course will give you everything you need (including your own bar tools) to go out there and get a rockstar bartending job. You got this! Thank you again!

RockstarBarGirl Thank you so much for all the information! I will definitely check out the video and your website. I've always had an issue with self doubt and I always end up talking myself out of doing something because I'm afraid of failure. However, I'm kind of at the point where my back is against the wall and I'm not really getting interviewed for the jobs that I have experience doing so why not try something new? I think it's a blessing in disguise that I'm not getting those boring office jobs because it's forcing me out of my comfort zone. I really appreciate your encouragement!
Thank you so much. This was helpful for my new job! I appreciate it!

RockstarBarGirl Just stating pure facts! I am a little embarrassed to say this but I actually saved this video to my ‘watch later’ about a year ago when I was getting back into bartending after being out of the game for a wee bit lol. I was deleting videos that were saved that I had watched & watching the videos that I hadn’t yet watched. Hence how I ended up getting to see your video lol. I’m so glad that you are a teacher, created an online course & share your content with us as this is truly a gift that you were blessed with! ❤️ I most definitely will be checking out your online course & be telling all my fellow bartenders out there to check you out. As soon as all of this craziness is over with the world rn & I get back to work, I’ll definitely be purchasing your online courses! I’ve been in this industry for about twenty years on & off & have been taught by many (& have taught many)..... but I’ll say that this is the first time that I’ve EVER been so captivated & retained all the information that I was learning. Not only will this broaden my knowledge on the subject but I believe that your lessons will help me to keep my trainees engaged 😁 I really can’t thank you ENOUGH!! I hope that you continue to keep posting your videos & growing your channel. As soon as I’m back to work in a few weeks (I pray ) & getting back to making $ than I’ll start my classes. I wish you nothing but success & happiness babe! 💕 Thank you ☺️

Steph Bby Flashcards! They are truly the best. Put the name of the drink on one side and on the back put the glass, recipe and garnish. Not everyone is a good trainer. Sometimes you have kind of have to train yourself. In this biz we call it sink or swim. Dont stress it. Stay friendly, let your guests know you're new, and call the manager if you have any serious questions or issues. Otherwise just do your best. You're already a rockstar!
