  1. Mr. or Mrs. Congeniality - A truly masterful bartender will be able to charm the guests, talk about any topic with ease, offer amazing customer service, and be a walking, talking, drink-crafting people magnet at your event.
  2. Multi-Tasker - A great bartender can make a drink while taking another drink order, and at the same time be either cashing out a customer's bill or scanning over their inventory and letting the barback know what they need restocking. Picture a head on a swivel, and that is what you need behind your bar.
  3. Gandhi-Esque Patience - Event Bartenders put up with a lot sometimes behind the bar. Customers hemming and hawing about what drink they want, then making a decision, and then amidst the bartender preparing their chosen drink, suddenly changе their minds and request a completely different drink. Deep breaths are required.
  4. Knows Their Craft - Of course one of the biggest attributes any bartender can have is having a solid drink repertoire of the most popular drinks that they could make whilst blindfolded.
    5. Creative Mixologist - Great skills to possess are those bartenders that not only know how to make many different popular drinks but are themselves. master chefs of booze behind the bar, constantly creating new drink concoctions.
    6. Time Management Skills - You need bartenders that can act as a flash with a shaker and sling out, rapid-fire style, drinks to your guests in a busy event. But they also have to have the restraint and experience to be able to adjust that speed easily when things are quieter and laid back.
    7. Professional Attitude - The very best bartenders are ones that show up early, start getting to work right away, set up their bar area, and stay late afterward to help clean up. Team players are highly desirable to employees.
