Does anyone know approx how much money bartenders make per shift (part-time)???
I'm only thinking about doing this part-time at a nightclub or bar. (Fri & Sat, maybe one night of the week). Serious answers only please

Depend on where you live, what kind of establishment it is and how good your service is. In Washington state our minimum wage is like $8 or something. So you figure you'd probably be making around minimum wage and then the rest in tips. If you have awesome customer service you are bound to get better tips. I live in a small town and some of my friends that work at just Taverns make usually around $60 a night in tips. If you are big city and in a club you could bring in alto more, depending on how many people split the tips. Now the girls that work the latte stands in my town make 70-100 in tips over the weekend average a day on an 8 hour shift working solo. And they don't have the bar fights and drunk retards hitting on them. Just the 40 year old married guys that go thru for their morning mocha.
you make your money in tips.
the new bartender works mondays for a long time, the money is still not bad, 15-20 an hour even on a monday.
if you stick it out you can make huge money on a fri and sat nite at a "hot" spot.
it highly depends on the bar, your shift, your skill, your people skills and your looks. i would say b/w $40 to $400 for a shift, depending.
that all depends on which place you decide to work for, or which place needs people if you are happy with the minimum wage you will rely on tips
I would say it all depends on the place your working at wheather its busy or not,but they make good money usually.At a club i would say anywhere from $150 or more in a night on the weekend but it all depends on the business.Bar anywhere over a $100 or more.
Depends on who you work for- I make 9.00/hr plus tips...some places pay far less, some places make you share tips. Try a smaller bar or a private club.
The minimum wage in WASHINGTON State is $7.93 per hour and bartenders that are EXPERIENCED get about $2.00 more per hr. Yep, the rest are right, the BIG money is in tips - so smile, act nice, listen, listen, listen, and always remember the customer is ALWAYS right.
My sister has been doing it for years and makes an average of $200 per night, in a restaurant bar (of course it is on Cape Cod) she does best in summer and really good during the holidays. Try this place get some experience if it doesn't pay well then try some other places until you get the right fit.
Shuck's I can't answer. OK
It depends greatly on where the bar is an how much business they do and what sort of clientele they have. I've found that older people are not very good tippers and neither are poor people. I would visit the place first on various nights not just on the week end and see how busy they are and what sort of people they draw.
It depends very much on the following.....
1) Location of the bar. Seedy neighborhood = bad tips.
2) Type of patrons. White collar (other than lawyers) are better tips.
3) Age of patrons. Employed middle-aged guys trying to score on you are better tippers than poor college kids.
4) How attractive you are.
5) How good your service and rapport with the customers is.
Here they make about $9 a hour plus tips.
Depends upon the bar... especially if you work for tips.
Also, if you're a new bartender, will you even get to work the primo shifts over the more "senior" bartenders?
That depends on how busy the place is. From experience ive walked out with around $300 on a busy fri or sat worst ive done was like $40 on a slow night, you gotta be fast and learn your drinks. I'd say if you work in a bar that has good businees you should make $100-$150 avg.
