yes you do, it's not too hard, you have to go to bartending school, and you'll also need to get a smart serve licence. you go to bartending school to learn how to mix drinks, and learn about alcohol, how it's made. then you get a test, and once you passed it you get your licence.

You don't need a license as such but, in the province of Ontario, you will need to take the SmartServe course as it is a requirement for every employee working in a restaurant that could potentially serve alcohol. Here is a link to the government ministry in Ontario who offers the course.

I'm not sure about the other provinces so you will want to check with restaurant management on their requirements.

you do not need to have a license to be a bartender, however you do have to have smart serve.

Most bars want you to have a Smart Serve.
