Bar work in NOLA ? (1 Viewer)

Bourbon bars are generally the best bet for bartending or bar backing positions. I have known quite a few people who have worked on Bourbon and the turn around is generally pretty high. That said the jobs are nearly as glamorous as one would think (hence, part of the reason for the turnaround), but the money can be good.

One thing to remember is that a lot of the neighborhood cornerstone bars/pubs (a la Mick's, Finn's, Lucy's, etc.) can be a bit difficult to get a bartending gig, just because most of the bartenders have been there for years. Still, offering to do whatever is necessary should be a major selling point.

I currently work at a daiquiri bar (oh so glamorous, by the way) and I can keep a heads up on available positions, especially for the NOLA establishments.

When exactly are yall coming in? September?

September 7th for 2 weeks , but i intend on hanging around for as long as possible provided the right opportunity pops up :9:
 
Razoo, BBC, and Mango's are a few off the top of my head that are on Bourbon....if you wanna work at Lucy's just pm CPG....he should be best friends with everybody there by now. He and the owner are probably golfing buddies.
:smilielol:Unfortunately, people have a better job of scoring with Elisha Cuthbert than scoring a job at Lucy's. I could put in a word with all of the managers but that would only hurt his chances. They once showed me a stack of applications as thick as the dictionary.
 
If you're serious about the PT you should get a flyer made up, explaining what you're doing, when you're available, price per hr etc. I'm sure my mate would put one up in his bar for you close to the time you're arriving, others on here may do the same. At least you could gauge the response to see if it would work for you. What you got to lose?
 
I'll need to do something or I'll be eating out of bins :smilielol:

Pretty much made my decision over the last week that im not leaving The U.S on my return flight on September 21st

I'll make it work one way or another :scratch:

1. do you have a place to stay, and if so what part of town?
2. do you have a hookup on a ticket to the home opener/access to the rest of the season if you stay the full 6 months?

I'll be staying in the French quarter for 2 weeks in the holiday inn , but looking beyond that , I've been looking online at Apartments in the $600 - $800 a month range I'll have the money to cover my rent for about 6 month or so Would just need a job to cover living costs.

Not Really sure where would be the best place stay , i was thinking perhaps Mid-city.

Been looking on Stubhub and Ticket Exchange for tickets to the opener and would prob just keep doing that for further games.
