I earn about $20 in tips working on a Saturday night, but some of the guys and girls will get about $50. This is my first bar job and sometimes I notice when I’m concentrating on making drinks I don’t smile, but I find it hard to smile all the time.
What would make you tip a bartender in a night club?
chances are your customers want to be entertained and be around good company, so be just that; good company:
first and foremost as anyone can do, be very polite and courteous.
be outgoing and lively, funny, enjoyable company..
think however you are at your best mood, show them that.
show interest in your customers. ask how they are, but mind your job, you are there to take their order!
be subtlety flirty. don’t over do it, or else it’ll just be awkward.
good service – if its fast, correct, prompt, enjoyable – never hurts!
and if you’re cute, i guess that helps.. [not personally]
but honestly. just flatter your guests and they’ll love you.
make the customers feel like they are valued and wanted at your bar. flirt a little, be outgoing, stuff like that.

Not trying to sound like a pervert, but guys usually tip bartenders that flirt. Also, if you don’t have a dress code, show skin. Being a bartender for 4 years now, I hated the fact that i had to pretend to like everyone that walked through the front door, but you do what you have to do! As for me, when a person buys a drink from me, I try to start a general coversation. One that I didn’t need to stay and chat for a while, but long enough to keep the person busy while I fix their frink. This way, they feel as if they are not just ‘another customer’! After time, you will be able to read the customer and you will be able to make relevant conversation starter that you know that they will like…..for instance…it’s not a good idea to ask a guy or lady in business attire if they have seen any cool tatoos lately:) Be patient….I started out just like you, but now, I bank more than $150 every night!!!Good LUCK!!

I’m finding it hard to understand how you work in a night club and ONLY get 20 to 50$ in tips. Some popular night clubs, the girls can get hundreds, even thousands in a busy night. If you’re a guy I guess I can understand.
It’s not hard when the avg tip is 10 to 15% of the bill, and the bills are $20 to $50 per person. A full night club… well do the math. Plus you get drunk guys giving out tips to hot waitresses… LARGE TIPS.
