A Florida strip club accused of hiring only women bartenders and refusing to hire a man is facing a federal lawsuit.
A lawsuit filed Thursday by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says Sammy's Gentlemen's Club in Fort Walton Beach violated federal law by refusing to hire a male applicant because of his gender and by failing to maintain federally required employment records.
The EEOC says James Sharp attempted to apply for a bartender position in October 2015, but the manager told him the club didn't hire male bartenders. The agency says Sharp had bartending and management experience, but he was not allowed to apply for the position.
A telephone message left at Sammy's wasn't immediately returned.
I've been to this club. Mileage is so low a male bar tender would only make business slower.

I've never paid attention to the bartenders. Management probably worried another guy (especially one who can get the girls drink) might take blow jobs and sex away from them.

I've never seen a male bartender or waiter in my club, and I like it that way. I hope this EEO suit doesn't become a trend.

In the SC I frequent, the bartenders are consistently 8/9s and of course dressed just as skimpy as the dancers. If the talent level on the floor is low, I know I can at least sit at the bar and flirt with and ogle at them.
Male bartender would completely ruin that.

I prefer chicken tenders

If it was the other way around and it was a business that didn't hire females then all hell would break loose - I'm glad the shoe is on the other foot.
I do not like female bartenders - most of them suck at their job and only have the job b/c they have tits and can show cleavage - IME I have consistently gotten better service from male bartenders - not saying there aren't any good female bartenders but IME many of them have their heads in the clouds or have the same poor work ethic as many strippers.

Many a time I've been at a SC and the female bartender is either oblivious to other custies on the other side of the bar - or keeps you waiting while they are flirting w/ a custy or keep you waiting while they have their nose in their phone.

@papi
I like it when they hire bartenders with big tits that show cleavage. What's the issue there?

The issue is that they often suck at their job

Isn't that showing a prejudice against the well endowed members of the fairer sex? Do you also generalize about people of certain religions, races, or nose sizes?

I agree with Papi that very often female bartenders have problems with paying attention to the bar they often seem to be focused on one guy sitting at the other end and it can be annoying trying to get their attention when that happens. If you remember a few weeks back at Vixens I spoke with the manager about that with our bartender.

Just require that ALL staff be available for standard-rate lap-dances in the private rooms. Whatever level of contact and whatever level of clothing-removal are legal in the jurisdiction, will be required of anyone who works inside the club as an employee. Hence, males who insist on getting bartending jobs at the club, will also have to hustle dances whenever asked, to any male or female customer. Thus, first, you have a self-selecting phenomenon: either it's sexually appealing (and probably gay) males who apply, or it's females who apply to be bartenders. And thus, second, you have the right to demand a certain level of visual attractiveness among your employees, and thereby can apply the "hot as a dancer" criterion to your wait-staff and bartenders as well.
Simple, no?

I don't do employment law much, but I think there's an exception to the discrimination laws that let's a business hire just men or women if the sex of the employees is integral to the business. If that exception applies anywhere it should apply to strip clubs.

^in that case why not female bouncers and djs?

Please stop Scat. I'm still trying to come to terms with you shooting your load when a dog licked your ass.

I think Hooters argued that the only way they were able to charge their rediculous prices was bc their servers were an integral part of their ambiance, and that customers were not paying for food, but for the ambiance and fantasy.

My club has female djs.

All the bartenders at my favorite club are great, but the male bartenders will help me work my game more than the female ones will.
