Anyone can mix a drink. However there is a lot more to bar tending than mixology. Master bartenders can hold a conversation, keep the drinks full, and control a crowd--all done with finesse. Have you got what it takes to be a master bartender?
Having worked behind a bar, I can tell you it takes a certain breed to be a master bartender. Learning the skill will get you started in the business. But you must build your knowledge base to become the best of the best: A Master Bartender.

What is a Bartender?
A bartender (barman, barkeeper, barmaid, mixologist or tapster, among other names) serves beverages behind a bar in a bar, pub, tavern or similar establishment. This usually includes alcoholic beverages of some kind, such as beer, both draft and bottled, wine and/or cocktails, as well as soft drinks or other non-alcoholic beverages. He/She "tends the bar". A bartender may own the bar they tend or be simply an employee. Barkeeper carries a stronger connotation of being the purveyor, i.e. owner.Webster's 7th dictionary "barkeep: one that keeps or tends a bar for the sale of liquors"
