    Question Thinking about Bartending at strip club

    Hello everyone,

    I am thinking about adding even more eggs to my money basket this year.I had a few questions about bartending at a strip club? First, could I do it only on the weekends? Secondly, what would be the average that a bartender could pull in at the strip club? Thank you in advance

    Are you qualified as a bartender? How much could you make in a regular club or a restaurant?

    Take it from me, don't do it. Strip club bartending is the worst. You still get the customers who harass and belittle you, but you're trapped in a small space and required to be nice to them.

    I agree with this. I've done it before and it's not really worth it. You'll deal with the BS on stage or VIP areas but at least you're making some decent money. Bartending is just more stress. The only pro I see to bartending in a club is that if the club is 21+ you have less to worry about in terms of underage serving.

    Are you also dancing? A girl I know dances and tends bar at separate clubs. It's a good hustle. Customers who know her as a dancer are so intrigued to see her as a bartender, and vice versa.

    Otherwise, as for averages for strip club bartending, I've heard everything from $30 in tips on a bad night, to sky's-the-limit stripper-type $$$ on good nights.

    Schedule flexibility and potential earnings really vary based on the club you're working at, and don't necessarily go together. A swanky club with high prices will likely have the best tips, but will also likely be competitive to get hired at as a bartender and have less flexibility if/when you do get hired. I highly doubt a club where bartenders can make great money will let some new chick come in and work the bar on the busiest shifts only, shafting their employees with longer-standing. Still, you never know! Getting a bar tending gig isn't like getting hired as a dancer since there's a finite amount of shifts, so just apply at all the clubs you can get to and worry about deciding if more than one wants to hire you.

    I had worked as a bartender in strip clubs (in part because a friend got me into it). There is good money to make as a bartender in a strip club, I'll tell you that. However, some customers will show more disrespect to the bartenders (especially if they're pretty) just because she is not showing as much skin as the dancers. Also, some clubs like to skip the tipping wage and would also attempt to treat bartenders as contractors. Run away from places like that!!!!
