Made me look like an expert in a short time

When I was put on the spot to start bartending at a club I had been waitressing at in New Orleans, the first thing I did was read this book cover to cover. It saved my life! I was able to take the knowledge I gained from this book and get straight to work. People could not believe I had never bartended before. A couple of years later, I consider myself a professional bartender and work in a private fine dining establishment as their only bartender. Needless to say, I consider this an excellent book!

Ray Foley is one of my favorite writers on bartending and cocktail recipes! Foley is fun! His books are always easy to read and understand... You do not have to be a professional bartender to follow this book, nor do you have to be a Dummy! I look forward to his next book! Cheers!

very weak for a newbie...

The book fails to discuss typical bar lingo that the author himself uses! For example "neat" , he doesnt even tell the want to be bartender what an "up" drink means! The book is 90% recepies , go to Walgreens and buy the "Black Book" it has awesome recepies. I was really expecting a book that dealt with lingo, do and dont's, tip and tricks but all the book really consists of is recpies.

everthing you need at your fingertips

Between the fascinating history and the comprehensive list of time tested recipies, this is the only bartending book I've ever needed. Forget Mr.Boston, get Bartending for Dummies.
