I am a recent Bartending school graduate. How can I get hired as a bartender in a nice restaurant???

I just graduated from bartending school. I want to work in a nice restaurant or bar. You know to get into the nightclub scene meet some people and make some money behind the bar. I'd like to know how I can go about getting a job in one of the fancy L.A. clubs and bars or one of the trendy Hollywood nightclubs without having to have a B.A. in Hospitality Management or a culinary degree from an expensive school??? Please help.I am a recent Bartending school graduate. How can I get hired as a bartender in a nice restaurant???
i used to be a sports bar manager in Oregon and our management team usually shared the same opinion, bartending school doesn't add up to much if you have no real behind the bar experience. try to get your foot in the door or industry for that matter by barbacking. they are more likely to give you a chance when you'll be working under someone else and they can see what you can do without having you to be the main person responsible. Good luck!
