Bar Basics

The bar opener-to-closer playbook: prep, pours, pace, and pass-down.

Course overview

What you'll get

A practical, non-certification course that teaches new bartenders and barbacks how a well-run bar works — from stocking a well to closing the books. Pairs well with Alcohol Safety for full compliance.

By the end, you'll be able to

  • Open and close a bar without leaving surprises for the next shift
  • Pour with consistent speed and cost control
  • Handle a three-deep rail without losing your head
  • Communicate cleanly with servers and the kitchen
