[edit] Minimum requirements
Bartenders have to have their grade 12 education to work in a bar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.216.215.4 (talk • contribs) December 7, 2005
this is not correct..do not listen to this man you do not need a high school diploma or GED to work as a bartender... bartending is considered in the food industry, which does not require finishing high school or accquiring a GED. A diploma is preferred though in most places, or GED —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.235.29.73 (talk) 17:06, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Terminology
As I understand it, in the UK 'barkeep' is short for 'barkeeper' which specifically means someone who *owns* a bar, not someone who just serves drinks in one Justinep 21:59, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Mixologist should certainly not be merged into bartender since it indicates not only stature (a mixologist isn't a type of bartender), but rather an education/understanding of the art/craft of creating/mixing drinks. Suggesting that a Mixologist is a sort of Bartender is akin to suggesting that an architect is a sort of construction worker. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.131.246.82 (talk • contribs) August 6, 2006
Bar a place where where we drink, tender which means kindness, so bartender means a place where we drink which has kindness. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.232.8.8 (talk • contribs) October 20, 2006
- "to tend" means to manage or look after. A bartender looks after a bar. I don't know why you would think it refers to a place. 142.150.41.57 00:09, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Anime

[edit] Historical question
What is the black armband that many older bartenders are shown wearing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.178.120.10 (talk • contribs) January 9, 2007
- That's a good question. Though in movies, I have seen other colors (like red or white) worn, too. These were mostly in old "Westerns" and it was the barkeep in the saloons who usually wore them. I never really thought about it before. If anyone has an answer, I'd be curious to know, too. --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 09:07, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Our "head" bartender wears one. It strengthens your grip. Said bartender also has carpal tunnel so that helps out even more. Scientific evidence? No. Does it work? Yes. (i would try it myself even though im pretty young).--Ijnixon (talk) 00:45, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] "underpaid therapist"
It seems like "underpaid therapist" is a colloquial term for a bartender, and not an official name. I would suggest that "underpaid therapist" be taken out of the article to keep up with Wiki's standards of professional editingAznsamiam 04:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Legal underage serving
in california it is legal of for a person to server alcohol as long as they are not
"acting in the capacity of a bartender and the service occurs in an area primarily designed and used for the sale and service of food for consumption on the premises."
however no where is it clearly stated what the capacity of a bartender is. anybody have any ideas?
