Does anyone know if it’s possible to do some part-time bartending while in Chengdu? I’ll be interested in finding some additional part-time work when I get there and thought that might be a great way to make a little extra money and meet more people.
Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance!
Competent bar personnel are always in demand, just depends on the wage you’re willing to work for. If you’re foreign you’ll have a hard time pricing out locals and other low-wage workers, but I know a couple ppl who do this, so if you can prove you can earn your keep I’m sure you’ll have no trouble.
If you’re interested in meeting new people, this could be a great way to do it. I don’t think it will be hard to find opportunities. However, the going rate for a Chinese bartender is probably not enough for you to live on, so I wouldn’t count on making a livable income from it. I would first explore bars in the city, find a few that you like, and meet the owners and say you’re interested in helping out. Good luck
