erinedwards007 Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 I am looking for suggestions about good places to apply for a bartending position in Manhattan. I just relocated to this area last Friday (Jan 19), and have no idea where to begin.I don't care for a pretentious environment, and would prefer something laid back. I have mainly tended bar in dance clubs; however, I would also enjoy working in more of a personable atmosphere. Either one would be great. I love live music; rap, not so much, but I can deal; "regulars" at any place is always wonderful; working in a gay friendly atmosphere has proven the most fun for me in the past (where I worked was mainly gay men); vulgarity is a serious turnoff, but if it is a must, I have experience working in places like that. If you have suggestions, please be specific. Remember I just moved here and the more information you give me the better off I will be. I appreciate you taking time to read this, and any suggestions you may have to offer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerjockey Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Try the lower east village - I hear that's the best place to start in NYC if you wanna bartend here. As for 'gay friendly', or whatever, that's the entire city of NYC..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexeus Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 If your looking for where the popular gay bars/area is, yeah computerjockey is right, the Lower East Village and the Lower West Village are the best places to find.If you want a good mix, SoHo has a bunch of bars, and there's always rotating bar tenders there.If you want to make money... look anywhere from Mid-Town to Uptown.
