bar work

sparkie · 12-01-2006, 13:59

does anyone know where there might be some bar work going in the accrington area in the evenings?

I have previous experience behind a bar and would like to earn some extra cash. Any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

You have tried ringing round the decent boozers I assume? I'm not sure if I saw a board outside The Park on manchester rd.

There has been a board outside the Park on Manchester Road for the past 2 week saying 'bar staff wanted'.

May be worth a try

I know there is a vacancy coming up in the shakers in accy. My mate is leaving in 3 weeks.............but it is quite rowdy in there. Do you prefer quieter pubs?

From someone who worked in a lot of pubs and clubs when I was younger, I'd recommend that you learned how to work a bar in a quieter pub first. Even if you only spend a couple of months there before moving on to somewhere lively or rowdy, it will help enormously.

Sorry, I know you didn't want advice but I couldn't help myself.

Ooops - sorry, I blasted in. Well, if he's already had experience then go for the rowdy one it's much more fun.

Hee hee and HE happens to be a SHE

ha ha and yes I do know she has worked behind a bar before

Should see her handle a load of York fans when she's stewarding at Stanley.

Rowdy or quiet, good luck Sparkie.

Unfortunately, the job at the Park is not just for a bar person, they expect you to run the bar single handedly, clean all the shelves, stock up, change barrels, empty ashtrays etc.this wouldn't be so bad if the landlord/lady actually did any work themselves, but they are either in the back asleep/watching tv/messing on computer, or perched at the end of the bar smoking and drinking. I have loads of experience of bar work, but never have I worked for such lazy individuals. They give absolutely no support to their staff at all. This is the reason that the 'bar staff wanted' is permanently outside!!
