On line 1 of my 1099 nec form as an employee how do I answer the questions as a bartender

Do you mean that you received a 1099NEC from the business where you worked as a bartender?   If you received a 1099NEC, you were not an "employee."   The "NEC" part means "non-employee compensation."  You worked as an independent contractor and are considered to be "self-employed" by the IRS.   The business where you worked issues a 1099NEC to you.

If you have self-employment income for which you will pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare,  you will need to use online Premium software or any version of the desktop software download so that you can prepare a Schedule C for your business expenses.

A 1099-NEC is used to pay an independent contractor.  This might be appropriate if you bartended a wedding as a side gig, whether or not it is you usual job.  However, if you worked in a bar at a fixed location according to their schedule and rules, you were probably an employee and they are paying you incorrectly (and cheating you out of taxes and benefits) by giving you a 1099 instead of paying you by regular paycheck with a W-2.  There is more information here, including how to file your taxes if you think you were misclassified.
