Chicago’s midnight ballerina bartending hustle

Making more than double the average bartender’s wage, Jay’s nights at a Chicago ‘midnight ballerina’ club are all about the hustle. She’s picked up sales tricks from dancers—think pitching the most expensive options first and taking control of every conversation. It’s not just pouring drinks; it’s about convincing patrons to drop thousands for private rooms, often teaming up with dancers. Jay says the job isn’t for the faint of heart, but the lessons in confidence and persuasion are priceless. Would you ever try a job where your paycheck depends on your hustle? #News #ChicagoNightlife #BartenderLife
