@pouringstories: Bartenders work harder than servers. There, I said it. 🍸💥 On this week’s episode I laid it out straight with Constantin. He mostly agreed… but you could tell he was choosing his words very carefully 😂 We clock in before them. We clock out after them. We know hundreds of recipes, serve the guests in front of us, AND bang out drinks for the whole floor while they run big tables and bigger checks. Don’t get it twisted, we love our servers. But the bar grind is different. Still wouldn’t trade it. The real conversations, the friendships, that bartender to guests energy triangle? You can’t get that hovering at a table without it getting weird. I stopped working just for money a long time ago. Having a fulfilling job means far more to me now. The newest episode drops this week. Who’s team bartender? Drop it below 👇 #PouringStories #bartenderlife
I'm a bartender of 31 years now. the kitchen is production. servers are service. bartenders are both.

As a manager, i had to do both. Both is hard! Its a bad statement that bartenders know more then servers. Its really different. Servers have to know more about the plates if costumers ask questions about it. Bartenders have to know their cocktails, that the servers also have to explain. Its 2 different kind of departments. For me both is hard. I just can talk out of experience.

Bartending is easier than serving, but you're in more of a constant state of motion than you are as a server.

Servers work just as hard as us and they have to be a lot nicer which is more exhausting. We work longer hours but we get to have a creative outlet as we work. They just have to grind for 6-12 hours. Appreciate your teammates

I can replace two servers with one bartender. Hell I could cut the entire my entire service staff and my team of bartenders could run the whole operation 😭😭

I was an average barback and became a auper barback … then became a bartender (a freaking great bartender) sales and following to the roof … my sales used to be about 30% of total sales .. in my humble opinion BARBACKS become the best bartenders

No. I've done both at once. It really depends on your service set up.

I bartend and always end up serving tables AND answer the phone. Close and lock up… I’ve only come across less than a handful of people that can do the same 🙃
