...sort of. i bartend a combination of places in greensboro that includes bars in a prominent hotel/conference center and, on weekends, in a major nightclub. and i found out a few hours ago that the club is being shut down immediately.

the timing is horrible because i found out ten minutes later that my wife and I just won the bidding for a house we're trying to buy... great news, but terrible time for a major reduction in income.

basically i'm throwing out a line to see if anybody knows of anything. i'd prefer to bartend if possible. i know a lot of you are based in charlotte - do any of you work in the industry and know of anything? if not, what are some high-volume clubs or profitable bars in the area that you think would be worth commuting from greensboro to work at?

thanks to anyone who answers!

damn, I was about to message you asking about some info.. trying to help someone get a job bartending, but he has some background issues and not sure if that'll be a big deal..

I have a few lines out to some friends who might have some connections, but that would be in Raleigh.

regardless, good luck.

haha yeah i'm the wrong guy for that right now. honestly it may work out for the best - the place sucked, it was a horrible crowd, bunch of losers and assholes... hence my annoyed "how much do you tip your bartender" post on here a while ago. there's options out there that are far, far better.

the problem is finding them.

What about bars in Raleigh?

the money would have to be worth the drive/gas expense (same deal with charlotte.) if i knew i'd be jumping into a place where i'd be making some cake i'd be all over it. so yes. do you know of somewhere?

It's been many years since I lived in GSO, but Fifth Season was always a dump for wannabe disco kings, the 40 and 50 somethings wanting to be 20-something again. And, of course, the hotel convention crowd... none of whom have a clue how to tip.

Blind Tiger, Grey's, Nattie Greene's (spelling?), JP Looney's (the newer one in Oak Ridge is always booming...)

Get out of the High Point Road area- it's dangerous and becoming the armpit of Greensboro. Most of the money crowd is going downtown or up in the Battleground area.

If you really want to try something to supplement, get on with a couple catering companies and work wedding receptions, graduation parties and crap like that on Saturday afternoons between shifts. You just need to get them your name, resume and make sure they call you when they need someone by keeping your face fresh in their minds.

You could easily make bank here in Charlotte on the wknds as long as you don't mind the late hours.

I used to work in a couple restaurants and our bartenders walked out with no less than $250 on weekends.

Move to a nightclub like somewhere downtown, my friends who work there are walking out with anywhere from 3-500 on a Friday night.

The catering/ weddings/ private parties might be the way to go Philly. Never been to a function that had bartenders that werent taken care of... Get in with a good, upscale company and find another gig to supplement when they arent keepin you busy. If you want to make money in foodservice, go where the money is. Dont work at Applebees, go to fine dining where people are going to have 2-3 drinks before their $25 app and $50 entrees...

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
