I like the Bartender

I'm at the bar with her...
When I visit the club in the early afternoon the waitresses usually aren't working yet, so I got in the habit of sitting at the bar and chatting with this one bartender.
One time I noticed she was having a bad day, dealing with a bunch of loud drunks all wanting their 2-4-1 beers at the same time (cheapskates!), and muttering under her breath about “does anyone ever ask what I would like?†So when she came over to me and asked if I wanted the usual, I said “Sure, and what would you like?†She gave me a nice smile, poured herself a shot and knocked it down.
Now it's a regular thing for me to buy her a drink, and spend some time chatting and exchanging inside jokes about other customers or dancers. It even outs, I often return from the back to find a fresh drink at my spot, and when I reach for my wallet, she just waves me off. Nice.
So, who else likes the bartender?

And like you, all for the price of a tip *every* time she does something for me, even when she gets me a free drink, a kind word, and not bitching about it when she's busy and can't get me a refresh right away.
I also tend to go to larger places who employ many bartenders. Some have been there for years but they switch shifts around a lot (not sure if it's the club that does it or the girls). I tend to have my strategic bar stool locations but they also rotate the bartenders to different stations. Very long winded but it's not often I strike up a lasting friendliness.
I also was kind of burned years ago by a bartender that gave the impression that she was interested and available. In the end it turned out neither was true. So I tend to pursue acquaintances with dancers before bartenders or waitresses.
Just wondering steve229, if this club change their policy and said that now all drinks bought by customers for the ladies will cost $20 and the lady gets a percentage of the sale, would you still continue to buy them drinks? I thought about buying a drink for a bartender who was flashing her tits and ass to us but decided not to because $20 is a rip off (although another guy I was sitting at the bar with did buy her a drink for that price)
Sometimes I have been at a strip club at night and the hottest ones there are the waitresses and bartenders.
One thing I like about bartenders is they have not seemed to care about serving an ice water with lemon (for a tip) unlike some of the waitresses I know that claim "you're not allowed to order that - just bottle water". It seems also that waitresses will try to hustle you for tips by increasing the price of a drink to include a tip plus get tip on top of that. I think she does this to either increase her income or to also tip the bartender who gives her the drink to come serve.
Also, I usually dislike male bartenders at strip clubs but there is one at Club X who is really cool and probably one of my favorites.
I have a favorite that I've known for about 20 years. She used to be a dancer, but no longer. She even calls me if a dancer she know I like is in town, or a new one starts she things I'll enjoy. I always buy her drinks, if she will have them.
I doubt anything to do with me -- I generally get on well it the world and make friends easily, including with bartenders.
Most of the BYOB clubs I've visited have a vending machine full of overpriced pop, Gatorade, bottled water, and Red Bull. Some of them have a lady or two at the door who will do stuff like break a $20 bill or get you a pop if they sell them behind the counter. I don't know what their official title is, but it's safe to say it's not bartender.
Actually, one of the few reasons why I love going during happy hour time is that I know that these bartenders will be there and they are going to have fun. Sometimes, they are more fun to talk to hang out with then the girls.
There are a couple guy bartenders that are just good guys to hang with. Butch, the main bartender at Main Stage is pretty cool. When there are very few dancers at MS (which happens a lot) he's good to shoot the shit with. And he does take care of me -- if there are few enough dancers there that night, he never charges me for my Cokes.
Pink Pony usually has a girl working the showbar bar. And Tiffany's bartenders were all girls, and they were HAWT! I was disappointed that neither of them were dancers. Though one did dance some (behind the bar) now and then. Maybe even flip her skirt up.
