Tricks Of The Bartending Trade

You hear about 'tricks of the trade' in many different professions. These tricks are usually designed to make the job easier, quicker or more profitable. But the tricks of the bartending trade are a little different. They’re very successful at increasing the bartender’s profits by increasing the tips they receive from the dazzled and entertained customers, but they don’t necessarily make the job easier or quicker.

The bartending tricks I’m talking about are the tricks done in what’s referred to as extreme or flair bartending. The purpose of these tricks is strictly to delight, amaze and entertain the customers. These tricks can also make the bartending shifts more fun and enjoyable for the bartender. The added income from increased tips is a well deserved bonus.

The most common tricks are juggling a bottle or two, throwing ice cubes or garnish (lemons, limes and such) and catching them in the glass or shaker. Tossing straws so they land in the glass is also common. There are other tricks done using garnishes. The garnishes are easy and economical to use in tricks. They don’t make a mess or break if they’re accidentally dropped and they’re cheap if they get wasted.

The more experienced the bartender is at flair bartending, the more elaborate the tricks can get. Some very experienced bartenders are able to juggle up to 6 bottles. They’re able to throw bottles in the air behind their back and catch them in various ways. One of the flashiest ways of catching the bottles is on their head. They’re also able to juggle bottles between their legs.

Those types of extravagant tricks aren’t usually seen in the bars during the bartender’s shifts. The flashiest of tricks are performed during competitions. The best working tricks emphasize speed and accuracy. They also have a no spill rule.

Flair bartending’s been shown to increase business for the establishment. Customers enjoy watching the tricks and tell others. This brings in new business and keeps the repeat customers coming in. All this business means increased profits for the bar and the bartenders.
