How much do bouncers for bars / clubs get paid?

[Shockwave]

Minimum wage? 10 an hour? 20?

I dunno but they get tipped a lot to let minors in.

I worked as one and I made a lot for a bouncer. I made *if i remember correctly* about $7.50 an hour. Most of the guys I'd talked to made about 5-6 an hour.

A newbie bouncer at Bar Nashville (one of the best known bars in Nashville, TN) gets paid $12/hour. After a few months they bump it up to $15/hour.

My brother worked as a bouncer last year and he says he got $100/night - about 8 hours.

depends on if the bouncer gets anything from the door money/bar money...

I didn't.

Well then that's different..... You're more concerned with liability insurance and making sure they don't crack someone's skull putting them outside.
Good luck wit dat , BTW.

Yeah, I need HELLA insurance. Thinkin in the million+ range. But, in order to come up with some numbers to figure operating expense kinda need to know what people charge....bouncers, DJ's, bartenders, sound people etc etc etc.
Plus figure loan payment (IF I get the loan). Property taxes. etc etc etc.
