7. New York
You wondered when you will see New York on the list of best states for bartenders? With the countless restaurants, bars and clubs, New York is great for skilled bartenders. Like I said I cannot get to my laundromat on a weekend night without pinballing through throngs of drunk millennials and whatever comes after them. New York has an approximate population of 20 million people which means you can meet a different kind of people and get paid well, $26,500 for serving them.
