Is bartending as complicated as it looks?
I don't think so. I think you can always be a better bartender, learn more recipes and develop your knowledge. The hardest thing about bartending is experimentation; learning to get the balance of flavors and alcohol is important, but I think that you can only acquire that through experience and practice. You could always learn to do stupid tricks like spinning the bottle around, but I think the most important thing that you need is have a great personality, willingness to learn, and the ability to multi-task. If you can do several things at once, your going to be a great bartender.
