Any bartending school that says they will place you in a club is lying. There is no way you are getting in a club with no experience. My advise is to go to school, get a job anywhere, then go to the city. This way you can say "I currently work at Joe's Tavern but its not busy enough for me". That will make you much more marketable. P.S. You can NOT get behind a Friday's or Applebees bar without waiting tables yuckkkkkkk.
