    I know IT Tallaght do a course in Bar Management. Or at least they did when I was working there.

    If I recall, there was some element of drinks in it - one of the lecturers on the course leased a pub near where I live.

    There's a course in the CIT in Cork too. But it'd be a pretty full time course. Friend of mine did it, Jesus, 10 years ago.

    Best bet would just to be to get a job in a bar that does a lot of cocktails and learn as you go...

    If you have a bit of experience they will normally let you start and train you on the cocktails but I hated it! Such a pain in the arse when you are up to your eyes and some prat asks for sex on the beach or whatever:mad:

    Slightly off the point Loads of pubs in my town have closed down in the past few years and a few barman I know are trying to get out of it by doing something else. It's grand when your 20 and up for a laugh but when you want to settle down it's not a job for a family man/woman.

    Em, google it? And I don't mean courses I mean the drinks. This is not something that needs to be "studied" it's mixing drinks.

    Not sure, you'd be suprised at how much there is to mixing drinks, knowing the specific gravity of each mixer so they will float. You could probably go google like mad and feck about yourself but I gather it would work out quite expensive in the purchase of all the spirits needed :) probably work out cheaper going on a course instead of practising at home with your own booze.
