Recent news reports about adult beverage sales show that alcohol sales in drinking establishments, which include bars, taverns/pubs, lounges, nightclubs, comedy clubs, and music/cabaret venues account for the largest portion of on-premise adult beverage sales, followed by casual-dining restaurants.  These reports attribute the sales increase to beer, wine, and cocktails promoted in drinking establishments. The increase in sales in drinking establishments will increase the job opportunities in the Myrtle Beach, SC area for bartenders in this service industry.

While many service jobs are on the low end pay scale, bartending is one of the better service jobs. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, bartenders earnings are between $20-$30 an hour with their salary and tips.

Think about your average Friday. Do you like to go out and have a good time drinking with your friends after your last class of the week? Do you like to go out on the weekends and have a good time? Just think about all of the fun the bartenders are having serving you alcohol. Just think about all of the drinks that people buy them while they are working. Now, imagine yourself in that position of bartending. Imagine yourself going to work, say Broadway, for example, to make money but to have fun and meet new people as well.   Now imagine taking home as much as $500 per night that you work!
