I haven't.

My best friend has been bartending for a few years now, though. He's in a hick resort town in GA, though, so it's a little different than the average downtown bar kinda gig.

For him, he didn't need any bartending experience whatsoever. Of course we used to drink a lot, so he was already versed with a number of drinks, he learned the others on the spot. They don't do anything fancy like put on a little show while making it (can anybody say Coctail?), just a drink that tastes good.

I could see that in a higher pressure place like a downtown bar with a bigger crowd some schooling could be useful, but for a laid back small crowd bar I think you're probably fine without it.
