I've tended virtually every type of bar set up and taught bar tending school as well.
you need people skills to bar tend before you need anything else.
You'll not make a lot of extra money at first without some experience. Once you have some experience you can make quite good money. Depends on your age, the place, the prices of drinks and those people skills I mentioned.

Con: they can be very false friends so don't get too attached to most
Pro: there are little perks in terms of service and the like from other bartender and people in the business
Con: there are a lot of legal ramifications for bartenders today you can go to jail for overserving or even being the unlucky guy who didn't notice he served even ONE drink to a guy who's wasted and then drives over someon on the way home.
Con: exposed to lost of smoke, often times drugs, if you drink yourself it's easy to start drinking more (weight gain, alcoholism, liver disease issues etc.)
Pro: good way to network and transition to other work
Pro: a certain degree of prestige when you whip up something nice at a private party simply because you can - chicks dig that.
