10 beginner flair bartending moves to make you look like a Pro - Part 1 

Thanks man. I appreciate that. I'll get there. 🙂💪🏻

Tom Dyer is hardly underatted! Known as one of the best flair bartenders back when I was involved. Although he does have dreads now apparently🤣. I've been out of the flair game for over a decade tbf

Do it. 😉💪🏻

That's about to be me tomorrow 😂🤞

A year ago

Bartending is way more than these tricks. You need to have some knowledge of ingredients and drinks. You can flip bottles and throw shit in the air all day but if your not fast and have to Google every drink someone orders, then even if you do get hired, you won't make shit for money.

@@erikkzn2386 who tf is "we"? Industry people sure, but there's plenty of people that would watch a flair bartender do tricks and think they're the best of the best, when a mf doesn't even know their pour counts or how to make an old fashion lol

NICE. best of luck Anna. I hope you got some of these. I have plenty of other videos that will help too.

That’s smart!

i used water too ;)

I'm learning and my teacher gave me a practice bottle, it's heavy as it if had liquid but made out of plastic

@@TomDyerBartender the infinite napkin teasing trick

Right he makes it look so easy LOL I’m bartending for 10 years I’m pretty sure I would drop that thing in a heartbeat! 🤣

Yeah lv is where I live, I’m tryna learn how to flair it’s always been something I’ve wanted to do growing up here watching all these crazy tricks

Awesome! Thank you!

You're welcome. I wish I could fit it into 1 video but I talked too much. Haha

It's my pleasure

Thank you very much. I will keep uploading if people keep watching. Thanks :)

Thank you. Yes. I will keep posting. I have a lot more videos on my channel you can check out

It a not going anywhere, so whenever you're ready

That's awesome, thank you very much. :)

Ugh…mixologist… It’s just bartending, mate. The term mixology is as corny as the term foodie. I’ve been bartending for nearly twenty years, and every time someone comes in for a job and the first thing they say is “I’m a mixologist” I know right off the bat that they’re a shit bartender. My response is always, “great, we’ll start you off as a barback so you learn how to tend the bar.” That usually separates the wheat from the chaff.

@@eyespy3001 well, I have to agree with that. I separate the two by calling mixology the whole process of using techniques to create infusions, bitters, etc. And then bartending as actually working at the bar. But you are 100% right. It's the same thing

Flair is not needed to be a good mixologist .. Most flair shown above is unhygienic (putting the damn bottle in the shaker) and it's hard to measure accurately whilst doing all this .

My pleasure. Glad to help.

@@TomDyerBartender ,it's always a pleasur to see you 😀👍HAPPY Days

My pleasure. Glad its helping

Bartending is a lifestyle. You gotta love it to keep going. Tattoo is made by a lady called esme Baker. Her studio is the boiler room in Guilford if you are interested. Happy practicing

With practice you're able to control the amount quote easily and while ots rolling hardly anything is poured

Thank you! Cheers!

@@TomDyerBartender that's impressive. 🔥 I thought about to learn barkeeping tricks, but I would always be afraid to break something.

What about part 2? 😉

Glad this one has helped. See if you can upgrade the other moves to their next levels? :)

@@TomDyerBartender unfortunately we dont work with napkins so i cant use these tricks or i might bring my own napkins to work so i can bring up the level of the bar because im the only one who will do working flair there , my collegues are not experienced bartenders , and im finding difficulties stalling the bottle on my elbow , i can do it perfectly on my fingers and my forearm after a spin, but i think its harder to balance it on the elbow i have to practice it more .

there's a method called free pouring where you count seconds to pour exactly 1oz or more, knowing that any liquid (not syrups) comes out at the same speed/time

it takes a couple days to learn and it really comes in handy if you have a lot of drinks to prepare

Yes. Stefano, gave a good explanation. Have a look for a video on "free pouring" and that should help you out

One think. What about the amount of liquid poured i to the shaker while rolling the bottle. You can ot masure that or you can pour it to the jiger after all but it would looks really stupid.

I assumed that if someone wasn't free pouring it was because they weren't allowed to, not because they weren't familiar with it lol

They're very good, thanks for asking. I can free pour well, make a balanced cocktail and serve quickly. 😉

My pleasure. Happy practicing.

Great. Glad I can help out. There are a lot of videos you can watch. Thanks for the comment.

i own a bar

This is why I started my You Tube channel so people can learn from me.

You got it Mark. I count my pours. I can now count for Oz or Mls. With practice one can become very accurate when performing these moves and free pouring. It takes a little bit of time, but you'll be surprised how good you can get it.

Thanks

Always welcome

Hi Ian, I think www.barproducts.com might still have it. I only have 1 DVD from 2007....My You Tube videos have better content 😉

you count while you pour and after a while of doing these moves, it just becomes second nature. It takes practice, but with enough, you can be very accurate.

Practice. You'll be surprised how accurate you can be if you just practice a little bit. You can always use a Jigger at the beginning to check your pours before they go into the drink

I have a video coming out about this today ...in one hour from now

You get to know your equipment over time...if you use the same Type of pourer on each bottle at your bar it comes down to get a rythm. I count down in my head all the time so i can freepour at work...saves precious time during rushhour 😉👈

@@tlou2cinematicgameplay636 my bar has three different pourers 💀

Bartend first flair second. Enjoy the journey and don't rush it.

Learn to free pour. Also performing these moves you learn quickly when it's pouring and when it's not to be able to free pour

thank you for your suggestions

Ive been to Norway many times and have friends that moved to work there. They all flair and used flair behind the bar and made a lot of tips. They know how to free pour and they use a jigger as well. It's all about perspective and using the right moves at the right time. Check out my secret flair moves video

Sorry for the late response. But yeah of course some people will, Norway's a long and windy place, haha! But I guess the place I work at just chooses to follow the laws of Norway to the letter though. We have regular random inspections from people in civilian clothing who put marks in your records for the most annoying and ridiculous things, and if they see you doing this kinda free pouring stuff you're very likely to get at least a written warning if not a dot or two in your book if a lot of other things aren't right according to them, and once you've received either of those they are even more liable to come through more often.. It sucks :(@@TomDyerBartender

My advice, look for another bar to work at! I'm from Belgium and I ain't got no problems with the amounts of booze I use. I always think "gotta give them something worth of 15/20 bucks"... I ain't gonna charge ya 20 bucks for, just an example, sex on the beach without a decent amount of Vodka and schnapps! 🤣✌️ #HopeItWorksOutForYouEventually #YouCanDoIt

By counting. Learning how to Free pour means counting when you pour. During the rolling part of the move, hardly any liquid pours out (maybe a few ml's) so when you pour you're able to count to achieve the correct amount

Count as a normal pour. The more you do the move the better you will be able to control the pour itself.

1, 2, ,3 bounce equals 25mls

Yes he do. Hes a expert so theres nothing you can do if its standard or not😂

There is no set amount to pour. It all depends on the drink you are making really

Hahaha. It's a real tattoo. I got this from the boiler room tattoo in guildford, UK.

@@TomDyerBartenderbro such a nice story lmao legendary

@@olvinfuentes7514 i dont get it?

ikr?? it looks like he is pooring like 6-7cl at the assistentpool. sry for bad writing skills though (im foreign)

With practice one is able to pour accurately with these techniques. After doing it so many times you can control the liquid better than you think. The assisted roll doesnt pour during the roll (maybe just a few drops). When starting out you can measure your pour with a Jigger before pouring, or even better practice with water to understand what happens during the move. I hope that helps?

@@TomDyerBartender it does help indeed. thought it would pour nonstop during the roll. thx for the quick response edit: sry if that sounded a bit toooo sceptical

All the bottles in this video and on the back bar are with water. Coloured water ;)

a little trick i use for this is keep the ice in the glass and if you actually need to shake just dump the ice from the glass into the shaker

So start without ice in the shaker. 🤷🏼‍♂️

oh this. 👆🏻

Dreadlocks were first and then they got cut off :)

Ohhhh ! Anyway, both way are great

Water

Whatever you want them to be 😉
