Belgium and Holland. No Spain, nobody speaks engish there!!!!

I've found that most people in Europe know English. I think that the British and Americans (I'm an American) expect other people to speak English and it is sad that they (and me) don't adapt to other cultures and other ways of life. I've actually had some Parisians insult me in perfect English for being an American. I was offended, but at the same time, they had a point because I wouldn't have been able to respond in their language. So I guess what I am trying to say is that yes, it is possible, but try to learn their way of life and their language as well because it is polite and it will further your knowledge!

It's possible in Poland in cities like Warsaw and Kraków and could work in Czech Republic in Prague.

Ireland

Egypt, Malta, Sweden, the Netherlands.

Malta, especially St. Julians or one of the resort hotels.

i agree wit Ainhoa, definitely spanish islands and tourisitc places not the mainland lol, coz tehy really do hav probs wit english, and all the other places mentioned here r pretty probable

Gent, Belgium 1: Bierhuis aan de waterkant( Gent centrum) 2: Ierish Pub

Krakow, especially in the Kazimierz district where all the new pubs/bars are popping up, a lot of folks from UK go to holiday, as wel as folks from US. My husband, who doesn't speek Polish, other than "Prosze daj mi piwo" or "Please give me a beer," though on occasion it can sound like he is saying "Pig, give me a beer" (subtle pronounciation error that he once said to my uncle--we all had a laugh), got along fine in the pubs. My parents, uncle and I all retreated for the night but my husband stayed out in Kazimierz and ended up having a conversation on Polish politics in English with a couple of "English speaking bartenders," So you could be one of those folks helping an anglo-speaker out. They even helped him find his way to the hotel...where incidently he ran into a really drunk guy from Manchester, but that is a whole other story... Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands also...lots of English speakers. Some hostels have small pubs/bars too...those places always need English speakers.

About Spain.... if you go to the typical holiday destinations like the mediterranean coast, the Balearic islands (mallorca, ibiza, menorca) or even the canary islands you wouldn´t be lost at all. In those places I came accross bartenders who couldn´t speak spanish

Belgium and Ireland

Sweden highest salaries and everybody understands you and has no problems to speak english with you you can find some great places

I guess you could be a real asset in Warsaw or Krakow in Poland- especially in a pub/club where most foreigners hang around. Need more info? Let me know, Marek

ireland

malta and gibraltar :)

Agia Napa cyprus! Real safe bet and they're always looking for ppl! Its pretty most all english and Irish tourists and all the locals speak english anyway so you shoudn't have a problem! plus workin in a pub there has perks! like free entry into after parties!! etc.

Barcelona (In an irish bar or english bar)....as easy as it gets....Just walk around las Ramblas in the morning checking the doors of the bars and most of them they are always looking for someone. Also the Michael Collins at Sagrada Familia

Magaluf: is a major holiday resort on the Spanish island of Majorca primarily catering for the British package holiday market.

The best countries for bartending in English in Europe would indeed be Belgium & Holland. Forget about Spain and Italy, only ahandful of people speak and understand English in those countries. You could even try Copenhagen - Denmark (as they speak and perfectly understand English), but my experience there is that they're not very "open" towards "foreigners"...

Italy

Benidorm & Barcelona are great for english bar owners

Sweden

There are Irish Pubs throughout Europe and they always speak English. Of course it would be preferable to speak a bit of the native language.

Brussels, of course. In the middle of the European Union. Take an hotel with a lot of foreign visitors in the European neighbourhood.

ireland

I think Spain is a good place for that. I live here, and I've been in many places where the staff wouldn't speak Spanish at all. Personnally I hate it, but if you're not willing to learn try Tenerife or the Costa Blanca.

Amsterdam

Ireland! Or any Irish pub in the world. Scandinavia is very good as they speak English very well.

ireland... and maybe metropolitan cities...

Ireland :)

in Zurich!
