get a foot on the door
by getting a bar back position or waiter, then get to know the bartenders and keep a close eye in how is it that the bar is work, learn the drinks and also get to know the clientele if is a local bar/restaurant. Then work hard and express after you have prove that you are a hard worker, your interest of being a bartender. If at that particular place they won't hire a guy, learn as much as you can about the ropes and then with that experience move on to a better place.

My advice would be to look for upscale places like country clubs. I think the worst for you being a guy is to be in a dance club place. You need high end places. The country clubs and nicer restaurants I've been to here in CA, the bartenders are always guys. In fact, as a female I've had a hard time getting a bartending gig because I'm female. Then again, I don't want to have to wear slinky sexy stuff to get people to buy booze.
But seriously, look for ads in the paper for country clubs, hotels, stuff like that.
