Melbourne

Yeah look it can't hurt. I left the industry earlier this year. I worked mostly in nightclubs, and they regularly started people with no experience. None of it is super difficult but like anything there's a learning curve and people can become highly accomplished at making wonderful cocktails. Be aware of the fact that the industry is rife with sexual harassment, poor workplace safety, bad payers and awful employers. Hospo voice cleaned the industry up somewhat, but they're not around anymore and there's still a lot of really shit behaviour you're supposed to tolerate from behind the bar. Much of it comes from the other staff and the customers. Most of the guys I worked with over the years turned out to be complete fucking creeps, not all, but it's a toxic masc culture and security are usually much worse and get away with it, cos macho bullshit and not being directly employed by the bar in a lot of cases.
