The New Millennium B. E. Rock and B. E. Windows were the two companies I worked for from 1985 through 2001. They operated two renowned restaurants that were also the two highest restaurants in the world at the time: the Rainbow Room at the top of 30 Rock and Windows on the World on top of the World Trade Center. In 1999, we lost the Rainbow Room in an unsuccessful negotiation with Jerry Speyer of Tishman Speyer. Two years later, in 2001, we lost Windows on the World in a catastrophe that changed the United States more than any single event since the Civil War. Timing is everything. When the first edition of T he Craft of the Cocktail was released in 2002, the timing was so right and so wrong. The 9/11 attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., and in the sky over Pennsylvania hit like a thunderbolt, turning our world upside down overnight.

The sudden downturn had a huge impact on the hospitality and entertainment industry. For me, it marked the end of a sixteen-year episode.

Bar media is a great tool to learn all about bartending. They teach you about cocktails, mixology, and all things bartending. Reading can help you build a solid foundation for your bartending skills.
However, reading something can only take you so far. It's important to know the best learning method so you can become an effective and efficient bartender.
Various Ways to Become a Bartender
1. Bartending School
Administrations like these usually hand out a certificate or license after you pass the course. Both documents are valid and are used in the industry. It usually takes 2-3 weeks to get certified, but you can also take college courses on hotel and restaurant management to further your business skills and knowledge.
2. Work as a Barback
If you do not have the financial means to enroll in a bartending school, you can always learn the ropes as a barback. A barback's job is to lift, clean, restock and be a bartender's assistant. You can learn from the current bartender by observing and watching them closely.
3. Work at a Restaurant
If you already have experience as a server but want to work at a bar, getting a restaurant job can help you further along with your goal. Restaurants usually hire people who are flexible and are willing to learn.
You'll find that working in a restaurant requires teamwork. Someone with bartending experience can teach you, and this will come in handy when you need to be stationed at the bar area during busy nights.
4. Mentorship
Making connections is essential; you must be willing to make friends to get further in your plans. You can learn a lot from an experienced bartender, so try to be friendly and ask if they're willing to teach you the ways of mixology.
