Here's a list of the many bar styles
Wine Bars
Clubs / Nightclubs
The ability to hold a beat, smile while you're running your ass off, and make a ton of drinks at once is required. A keen ear might also be great or the ability to read lips as you'll often be blasted out by the loud music.
Fine Dining
Adorned with tiny candles, fine linens, and service demanding customers fine dining is for those who are articulate, bright, good with words, polite, and who have a passion for high end liquors and food. This bartending is focused more quality over quanitity so the ability to speak in an intelligent manor to customers is essential.
Country Bars
The ability to stand country music is essential - I don't think I could ever do this. Line dancing, getting up on the bar and making it a bit crazy tends to be the norm in these kinds of bars.
English Pubs
Cozy pubs with many regulars and a constant stream of Guiness, Harpers, and european bears, this is the place for chill conversation, laughs with good friends, and stories of yesteryears. Typically a crowd of 30+ and one of the best places to work at for an extended period of time.
Hotel Bars
You'll meet a lot of guests from all around the world who appreciate your ability to hold a conversation since they're often on the road alone. Keep them company, recommend a good meal, and you'll get a decent tip on their expense account.
Live Music Venues
These are short term gigs that can bring in a decent amount of money. They're also fun because the atmosphere is great and you may even be able to catch some of the show.
Wedding - Banquet Bars
Banquet bartenders often have a limited bar with previous arrangements according to the function. You won't be able to foster any long term customers, but there's still decent money to be had doing these kind of events. Maybe you can even jump in for the Chicken Dance or Conga.
