Never really spent any time on that side of the bar, but plenty on the other side and have several friends who were bar owners. First step is to get some experience after the school. Even if it's just a crappy little place one night a week until you find something more permanent.
Remember that your job is to make the owner money. Don't give the impression that you're taking this job to have fun or to meet women, or anything other than to make money. Getting people to stay and spend money is a priority so you gotta try to hit on what people are in the bar for. If it's simply to drink, have a new drink for them when they're ready. If it's to meet people, try to generate conversations. Anything you can do (shor tof free drinks or "big" shots) to get people staying longer and coming back more often will make the owners happy.
