I have like 1 year bartending experience, but this place I want to work wants 5 years experience. What makes someone with 5 years experience look more experienced than 1 year? I know all the drinks and stuff.

Just apply for it anyways, what’s the worse that can happen? Just pretend you’re the best at making blowjobs.
The drink, not sucking cocks tho i don’t doubt a second you might be good at it.

they dont care how many years, they want you to be able to take an order if someone asks for it. Study the drinks and prove that you can remember them and know what you're doing. Most people ask for the same things, but sometimes some wiseass will also for an exotic drink, in which case you look up how to do it and then do it. If you can manage a busy bar, remember common drinks, and keep it clean and organized, they will hire you. Getting good at it takes time, practice, and little bit of book study/googling.

wanting 5 years experience is the kind of thing businesses say when they want to LOOK like they're hiring but they really don't want to have to pay another person when they already have fewer people doing the same amount of work

this.
If needs be, make up a story about helping someone out cash in hand, you never did it in an official capacity, but you've been bartending a lot more than it shows on paper.

What is that I want it

You could always claim experience at a place they can't corroborate easily. Like in a different part of the country and/or out of business.
You should at least describe having worked at places similar to the one you're applying to because not all bars are alike. Some are slow, some are busy, some are meat markets, some are for the old farts in the neighborhood.

They want 5 years to see if you have a track record of mental wellness at the job. Anyone can hang on for one year, but maybe you're a schizo who's flying under the radar so far.
