if you are an OT 7+ and willing to put up with a creepy alcoholic owner I could hook you up.

If you have a dick, good luck getting a bartending gig anywhere but Tigerland, even then, as someone who isn't in that "tigerland circle" you have almost no shot anyways.

My advice to you would be go check out some of the higher end restaurants in the area. You can make bank, have a pretty fluid schedule, and you still are surrounded by sexy 18-25 year old coeds. Most of them will hire anyone who knows their head from their arse and a reliable form of transportation.

The dudes in Tigerland aren't hurting. making 300-400 3 nights a week once you put your time in for six months isn't bad

Paid me well enough?

Let's put it this way.... The bartenders are pulling in 1200+ a week in the fall. Working 4-6 hours a night 3-4 nights a week.

There were many nights I walked out with over 500 bucks after tip out.

There is some damn fine money to be made. You just put up with a shite ton of bullshite

There is a place on Airline called Dancers. I would suggest getting a job there and you can probably find a place to live for a reasonable price.

Quantity. shite adds up. But yeah if you have a solid group of regulars who you hook up. Fraternity brothers or other friends who would tip you 30 bucks and you sling them some free Kentucky dale and lemon drops.

It's tigerland. If you think all the money being made is an honest buck the.n you're naive. Lots of free alcohol being poured or money sliding into the tip jar rather than the register.

The one busy on Monday

And the fall is when the new freshman come. Tigerland swells. Sprinf semester, people don't party as much. Gotta make up grades. Those that do change bars as they get old enough to get into bogies or freds.

Fall is when you make your money in tigerland. Damn fun job. Although my nasal passages and my liver are much happier since I quit that lifestyle

Chris', Flemings, Ruffino's , Sullivan's. Good crowds, not too juvenile, premium liquors and deep pockets.

Ruffinos bar stays slammed 5 nights a week.

Reggies? Bogies?

Yea I just don't see any Tigerland bartenders pulling in those numbers. Hell, Bulldog bartenders don't do that (minus pint night), and their volume of business and # of tipping customers shits all over the Tigerland bars.

I was in Reggies last year (don't ask why because I don't have an answer) and the bartenders were floored when I tipped them $5 on a drink order and bought them a shot. So yea I don't think they're bringing in 4 to 5 hundred average a night during the fall.
