Product Description
This concise reference offers those who have chosen bartending as their primary profession—as well as those who bartend part-time—the tools to achieve success. In addition to teaching the basics—how to pour; the differences between the vast array of gins, scotches, tequilas, and vodkas; how beer, wine, and spirits are made; and which glassware to use for each beverage—the guide provides critical information on the nuts and bolts of customer service, checking IDs, dealing with intoxicated customers, tipping, and inspiring a bar crew to work as a team. Including a glossary of common bar terms and recipes for more than 125 cocktails this third edition features updates in bartending practices and expanded coverage of the myriad tequilas, beers, and ales in vogue.

 Good Book, Better with a class... July 8, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got this book as a text book for the class I took at S.F. School of Bartending. I found it to be a great help with lots of tips and insightful information. However I felt the book was not laid out as well as it could have been (and there are more than a few typos and spelling errors, which is annoying) and there were times when it left me asking questions. I think one would get more from this book if used as a supplement to a class, that way you can do the reading and come to class and have your questions answered.
 Good Book! September 3, 2003

This book gets straight to the point!...The "Street Smarts" of Bartending. Yeah, the Nuts and Bolts of Bartending. Refreshing to read a book that tells it like it is.
Bartending isn't just making drinks, remembering recipes, etc...There's Much more.
Finally a book that honestly speaks about the trade.
There's a difference between "tending bar" and "Bartending".
Apparently Lori Marcus is a Bartender...not just an Author.
It's clear that she's Been there and done it! It's obvious to any bartender who reads it. Very useful and informative.
If you're serious about being a bartender, then this book is a good addition to your library.
 A True Disappointment! September 25, 2001

I bought this book because I wanted a crash course in bartending. The ratings were so good, and I hadn't found a book that catored to my need, and so I ordered this one. I was very disappointed. It is somewhat informative and easy to read book, but it falls way short as a crash course in bartending. There is a lot of useless info such as where beverages are made, etc. and not enough info on important matters for the beginner who wants to become a bartender. I would not recommend this book; as a matter of fact I returned my copy.
Excellent Book for the Beginner Bartender!!! August 30, 2000

If you're looking for a book that will teach you the nuts and bolts of bartending - this one's for you! This book goes over in detail: pouring techniques, preparing drinks, a complete rundown on origin and taste of the various liquors, how beer is made and types of beer, how wine is made and types of wine, tapping kegs, customer service, cash handling...I could go on forever! I received the book a few days ago and was so impressed with the amount of information presented that I had to return and write this review! Lots of helpful tips and tricks that even an experienced bartender would find useful. If you're looking to buy a one guide book on the "Ins and Outs of Bartending" this book REALLY lives up to its name!

Finally a book for the professional bartender. It gives you the insight on what you really need to be professional bartender. Unlike most books that give you a 1000 recipes and teach you what cups to use, this book is truely designed to help those who wish to make a living bartending. A must read for those considering becoming a mixologist for a career or to supplement their income.
