The cost of just going to a club

We've had discussions lately about how much we spend on an average club visit. This had me wondering, on average how much money do you spend that isn't for stage tips, dances or extras?

The clubs that I go to are on the upscale end of the spectrum. Depending on which club I go to, I am spending anywhere from $40-$60 just to go to a club. This includes the cover charge, valet parking fee, at least one drink, and tips to the club staff. Since I am there for the dancers, I prefer to keep these costs as low as possible. I eat a home-cooked meal before going to a club in order to avoid the expense of ordering food at the club. I'm also not much of a drinker, so at the most I will order 2 beers for myself, and maybe a drink for a dancer if they want one.

For me, about $25. Sometimes less if there is no cover charge. I’m not much of a drinker either. One drink, maybe two. I eat before I go or grab a good meal later at a restaurant.

$20 for cover, door girl tip, 1st drink & waitress tip, so that's my minimum cost of just going to the club. Another $25-$30 if I buy a fav drinks and a bite to eat.

$20 total at the Sunnyvale BrassRail, during week day lunch time. Purchase my one drink, a soft drink, at the lunch hofbrau price. No daytime cover charge.

The rest of the money is handed out in dollars to a favorite girl. Stage number 2 is best. Its enough money to get a girl softened up with a little talk and lots of reverent looking, as she comes to pick up her money. Perfect for getting her primed for civilian dating. The girls like that as they don't get much of it, whereas they avoid what they do get, the P4P offers.

Buying her a drink could also be done, but that adds a bit to the cost. Still quite low though by comparison.

I go during the day shift. Free to get in. No one drink minimum ever. I don't get a drink at the club. So all free up until I start tipping or getting VIPs. This is at BSC.

Never more than $10 since I get free cover, no parking fee, 2 for 1 drinks, tip only the bartender, and one floor guy that sets me up with the dancer that will fill my need that day !!!
If I hit the club at the right time, I get out for under $110 total including BBBJCIM !!! Gotta love rent time at a slow club !!! A BUYERS MARKET !!!!

^ posted too early. Cover is usually waived, but i prefer more upscale clubs so factor $5-10 for valet and tip and $5-25 for cover when i do pay it. Drink minimum costs be about $5-8. So the range is $5-40 plus gas before any money is spent on girls.

I spend very little in a club except on da strippers. $5-10 cover and $10 for the one minimum drink is usually all. But if I stay long enough for the munchies to hit then occasionally $10-20 for food.

13-16 for cover, drink and tips for door girl, waitress, and bathroom troll.

I spend about $100; more if I am clubbing someplace like NYC. This includes drinks for myself and one or more dancers, cover and nominal tips to door girl and bathroom troll. As I've discussed in numerous threads, the social element is an important piece of the puzzle for me.

Fuck, at those clip joints in vegas you would spend 50 for cover, $15-$20 for a drink and if you drive yourself probably a $20 valet fee. Before you even put a dollar in g string.

I budget $100 for incidentals, and usually stick to it.

Train + uber: $25
Cover: $0 I haven't paid cover in my regular club in years
Drinks + food: I try to keep it to that last $75 or less. Sometimes it expands to a full $100, sometimes I can keep it at $50

I *usually* don't stage tip

Often just $5 - club mostly on dayshift (no cover and no parking-fee); a domestic beer is $3 and a water-bottle is $4 (tip $2 or $1, respectively to the bartender) - I don't hang w/ dancers pre or post dances thus usually don't buy them drinks to hang w/ me - but at times will buy a dancer or two a drink and also tip a few bucks to the doorguy (I hit small black-clubs where there is always a mandatory pat-down at the door so there's always a door-guy even if there's no cover).

$10-20. Most of the clubs don’t have a cover, and of those that do, only one is worth regular visits to me. A bottle of water or two, plus waitress/bar tips, over the course of my stay is about the only non-dancer expense.

$15 for Uber
$20 on drinks (I buy a bottle outside the club and have a single glass in the club just to cut costs)
$200 on the girls (between a dance and VIP)
$30 tips

Overall an estimated$~265

I should have read the whole post first. Total just to get to the club is $35. I only go when entry is free. I'm not wasting money for such a useless non-essential

My non-dancer expenses are pretty low. If I have 2 drinks - it will run about $18 ($7 each beer + $2 tip each time). If I have 3 beers it jumps up to $27.

I’ve gotten away with a $2 cup of coffee + $2 tip - one morning visit. That was very economical - as I came quite hard - after that nice steaming cup! Lol!

Depends greatly.

Variety type visits, expenses are minimal. Usually less than $20 for a beer or two and any parking/cover costs. When I'm sitting with my fave all day, usually more like $100-150 on drinks.

Shailynn's mom says that if he can finish this last year of jr. high school with no more cat molestation incidents, then she'll let home come out of the attic.

$14 for drinks which includes tip. $2 per bathroom visit and an additional $2 to any girl I get dances with (on top of the dance prices). When I run out of $2 bills, it's usually my queue to leave as I've probably spent my limit. Cover is free and I worked in car insurance before so I never valet. I'm probably spending around $30 before the costs of dances (and dance tips).

If you need to keep track of how cheap you can be, doesn't sound like anybody who's having any fun.

At the club I go to nowadays, it's $10 for cover plus $3 per pop and I always get one, so it's $13 for sure. At my current #2 club, it can be even less since there is no cover there.

$10 to $20 depending on the cover and the cost of a drink. If it's a club with alcohol, the cost goes up another $20-$30 since I enjoy drinking and socializing.

"a little talk and lots of reverent looking" -SJG

So you're THAT kind of creeper? The girls have lots to say about you!

At the local byob places, $30 for cover and $10-20 on drinks brought in.

At the places that serve alcohol, as much as $40-50 on drinks and potential $10 cover. Happy hour specials cut drink budget in half and no cover.
