    Default Cocktail Waitress

    I have been sifting through posts but I havent really got what I wanted...so bear with me if this seems little redundant to some of you!

    I am interested in dancing, but just dont know if I can do it...so I am looking into other ways to get my feet wet or just find an alternative to dancing.

    I waitressed for 2 years, so I have a lot of experience in that (it was ridiculous...I could rant for hours about what I did at that job). I am confident in my ability to waitress, I was damn good at it.

    However, I am wanting to stay away from families and kids. And old ladies who go out with their friends to sit for four hours, sip iced tea, and then not tip worth a shit.

    I want to - quite honestly - focus on men or situations where people are seriously serious about drinking and spending money. I am thinking cocktail lounges, men's cigar clubs/lounges, martini bars, and possibly strip clubs.

    I got a lot of answers about strip clubs so I dont need to bother you a lot about that - its very appealing to me and I think I will for sure do it next summer when I move closer to a club. I want to get one foot in the door and I think it will be a really good way of truly deciding if I want to dance or not.

    However, this summer I'll be in a club-less city and I will be all next year as well.

    So, heres what I am curious about. I know *nothing* about lounges or anything. What are good places to cocktail waitress at? Being a shot girl appeals to me...but I have very limited knowledge about what *that* even is. How do you pick them out. Basically, I need a description of the types of bars out there and what waitresses do there (place A has waitresses, place B will probably have shotgirls...)

    I have been clubbing (I swear I am not totally sheltered!) but the places I've been to had nothing of the sort. Maybe I am TOTALLY stupid for asking this stuff but you ladies are my endless font of knowledge...and its kinda the notion "SW WILL KNOW!" So here I am.

    you're asking a lot... and it's all dependent on the particular lounge and area anyway.

    ... why don't you GO to a lounge, order a drink, and ask the chick yourself? it's better than any 2nd hand info we could give.

    This question cannot e answered in general. A specific location is nesessary as clubs/lounges vary greatly by state. For example where I live, we have night clubs with cocktail waitresses and shot girls. Some shot girls are go go dancers, some serve body shots, some serve shots on trays. We have ultra lounges, regular lounges, swingers lounges and clubs, gay clubs, night clubs, locals bars, alternative bars, strip clubs.....and each place has a different set up. Some have waitresses but no shot girls, some have shot girls, but they might serve the shots different than the club next door.Some clubs the waitress might serve drinks only, another place she might serve food as well. Some places might have bottle service only waitresses plus regular waiitresses.So there's really no way to answer this. It just depends on the club. And I'm speaking from just one city.

    Okay! Thats all I needed to hear. I wasnt sure if there was basic knowledge out there that I had no clue about, or if it was like you said.

    I have already dug up a ton of info while I was lounging around so I am on my way...its nice to have whatever comments or help though, if anyone can think of anything!

    Obviously I will be stopping in places to check them out, its really the only way to do it. I just didnt want to show up and ask about positions that I dont really know about. Its a culture I am breaking into, I dont know all the lingo yet.

    Sorry I know this was a stupid question but I was really just putting out the feelers for the beginning of my research into this and I figured you all would save me from making stupid moron mistakes (well, at least let me do them in front of you instead of a possible employer).

    If you let us know what area of the country you are in, we may be able to help more... It's so radically different everywhere! At my club, I know the waitresses do pretty well.

    ^^ I waitressed during my jr year of college at a strip club. It was a lot of fun. I did ok $ wise . Around $50-$80 weekdays. $150-$250 most weekend nights ( occasionally topping $300 ) . Small base wage on top of tips ( in utah, you are a club employee ) . The numbers are coming from 8 hour shifts from the top club in Salt Lake. We also danced on these little boxes occasionally ( way fun , but Utah law has changed and they don't do that anymore ) .

    I imagine waitresses do even better in higher earning cities ( UT is cheap for everything ).
