Why Bartending in Atlanta?
Bartending in Atlanta offers excitement, challenge and great pay — one of the most recession-proof careers you can choose.

A career in bartending offers so many choices — so many built-in benefits — that hundreds of people are giving up traditional careers, or augmenting their income with part-time bartending work.
Atlanta has become one of America's most dynamic cities — "Hollywood of the South" brings film and TV production crews, celebrity visitors, and wrap party events that demand skilled, professional bartenders. The BeltLine's bar and restaurant corridor has emerged as one of the Southeast's most celebrated cocktail destinations.
