THINK FREE!

Some clubs that serve food may provide a FREE Buffet during Happy Hour to get patrons in the building early. Get there early to get a plate full of hot heavy appetizers. Even if they charge a small fee, it will be less than an entree’. Make sure you at least buy a drink and TIP YOUR SERVER!

$2 TUESDAYS!

Most clubs do drink specials to encourage people to go to their club. The drinks may be smaller in size, but you can “Ball Out” with a $20 bill. Make sure you at least TIP YOUR SERVER!

SHARE!

Instead of everyone getting separate entree’s, order several appetizers. Not only will you be able to enjoy each others’ appetizers, but you can split the bill for the food as well. Just make sure you agree to this before you get to the club or before you order the food. This way you will save come bucks and really TIP YOUR SERVER!

DON’T VALET
