Common drinks/knowledge for upscale restaurant

Whats up fellas, I'm going to be trained as a bartender soon at the restaurant I work in. It's more or less a place to hold weddings/banquets/$40 a plate brunches...pretty upscale.

The training, am I going to be taught how to make the drinks, or am I expected to have a basic knowledge of 'mixology'?

Also, what are the more common drinks you find served/ordered at restaurants/weddings?

What you want to do is to be trained in all aspects of bartending. Most banquet halls have a pre-set bar menu regardless of what it's called (standard, premium, etc.). This is good for a beginning bartender since the overall knowledge needed is less. For a restaurant, and especially a busy bar, you need not only a well rounded knowledge of many more drinks but need speed as well. good luck in your training.
