How to Become a Bartender: Shaking Things Up

 Bartender

Ever wonder what it’s really like on the other side of the bar? In this episode, Mirav chats with Tom Ostoyich, a seasoned bartender with over 20 years of experience, about the job of slinging drinks, managing crowds, and keeping the party safe and smooth.

Tom gives us a peek behind the curtain—because bartending isn’t all flair and free shots. It’s late nights, quick thinking, multitasking madness, and making sure everyone gets home safe. He shares career insight into the skills you need to thrive, how to handle the heat when it gets wild, and what makes this career surprisingly rewarding.

If you’ve got the charm, stamina, and a head for hospitality, bartending might just be your next great career move. Tune in and see if life behind the bar is your kind of vibe! 🍸
