hey guys, i could really do with some help!! i have just started flairing, but at the moment i work in a bar in a restaurant therefore nothing at work, and no exciting drink (beer+wine). I really want to know the best types of places to work where i can either flair, or even learn cocktails and more things like that (preferable both!!!). i think i need to look now though before all the summer jobs go thanks you soo much, lewis (oh btw, im in the oxford/reading area if that helps )

Hi
There are not many bars that let you flair in the area but it depends what you want to do.
Is this a part time thing or is bartending your life?
Three bars that I know you can flair at are - Maxwells, Living Room and Thirst

Well I'm just doing events at the moment (such as John Terry's Wedding). I'm still on the payroll at Maxwells though.
In Reading no-one will let you flair except TGIs. Sahara is a good bar to learn from (there is one in Oxford too) but no flairing. TGIs is good to learn little bits but I don't know any great flairers that work there. A guy called Gary is good but doesn't really push it. However, I'm around in the parks!
