At least in CA there is literally no such thing as a 'bartending license'. The requirements for getting a job as a bartender in california start and stop at convincing a bar owner to let you tend their bar.
- baby 8y agoI was there for a bit and I got carded in almost every bar I went. They are very anal with it.
- lozaning 8y agoYea, you'll get asked for ID to prove you're of drinking age. That's totally different than some kind of state proctored or recognized bartending exam that a bartender must have passed in order to work at the bar.
- isaiahg 8y agoEven if there's no license, there no way someone can just walk into a bar and get a bartending job. I should know, I went to bartending school. Bartenders are almost always hired from lower level employees. Usually you start by cleaning tables, then you work your way up to a barback, and then you can move up as a bartender.
- lozaning 8y agoHence my caveat about needing to convince a bar owner to let you be a bartender. Never said it was easy, just that there is no such thing as a bartenders license.
