    Wait times are on the embassy website, I know a chain of Irish bars used to do temp foreign worker visas, but if you have family they can sponsor you.

    I'm about to start the L1A process and times are pretty reasonably (around 10 weeks in total)

    I don't want to be a buzz kill OP but I doubt you will be able to get sponsored for bar work.

    Have a look here and see if there is a category that might suit

    I'd advise you talk to your relatives who run the bars and ask them what type of visa they plan on using and when they plan on starting.

    In a lot of these cases it's up to the employer to start and manage the application process, there is nothing you can do yourself.

    Of course if you are a student you can apply for a J1 and do that for a summer.
