The late nights and long hours moving cases of beer and changing kegs are not for everyone. So the hiring manager asks this question to understand what motivates you.

You want to provide specific details of what you like about working in a bar atmosphere, so the hiring manager knows you are familiar with that environment. An example could be that you want to make sure the bartender has everything they need to provide a great customer experience for the guests.

"What I enjoy the most about working in a bar is the calm before the storm. Just before it gets busy, I have the bar stocked, and then for a good two to four hours, I am constantly moving to make sure the bartenders have everything they need. During that block of time, guests are having a great time, enjoying the night, and I get to be a part of that experience."
