How & where would people suggest he look for good bartending positions in Philly?
PS Note he doesn't drive, so he'd be looking to live & work in Center City, and/or the immediate surrounding areas.
Thanks in advance for any/all suggestions!!

No offense, but tell your friend not to hold his breath.
Getting a good paying service industry job (waiter, bartender) in CC is next to impossible. It boils down to two things, right place right time, and who you know. Getting a server spot is a LITTLE easier. But since the good money is in bartending, Restaurants RARELY have to hire from outside. Somebody always wants that spot. Bars, especially neighborhood bars (N. Liberties, Old City, et al) are usually pretty clique-ish, because the money is so good, no one ever leaves.
Unless you're a friend of a friend, it's not gonna happen.
