I
visited
the
Tampa
Club
during
the
Champa
Bay
Launch
party
on
Tuesday
February
22,
2022
6-11pm
which
advertised
an
open
bar.
No
end
time
was
listed
for
the
open
bar
on
the
official
event
website
at
ChampaBayLaunch.com
which
is
still
up.
Tampa
Club's
old
male
bartender
was
rude
and
Eye
rolled
not
once
but
twice
upon
asking
about
open
bar
and
upon
asking
for
a
drink
menu.
I
mentioned
this
to
another
friend
who
said
that
this
bartender
eye
rolled
her
too
and
a
friend's
of
hers
too
so
evidently
this
guy
makes
a
habit
of
eye
rolling
patrons
of
your
business.
Tampa
Club
Management
really
should
have
a
talk
with
this
eye
rolling
bartender
about
manners
and
not
to
eye
roll
people
for
simple
questions
and
requests.
Tampa
Club
Management
should
provide
patrons
with
a
drink
menu
so
people
know
what
kind
of
specialty
mixed
drinks
are
available
and
what
kind
of
beers
are
available
and
what
the
pricing
of
these
items
are.
Simple
questions
like
pricing
and
availability
of
items
should
not
got
eye
rolls
from
bartenders.
The
Tampa
Club
Resident
membership
costs
$1700
for
initiation
and
$155
per
month
with
an
additional
flat
hospitality
tipping
rate
of
$40
per
month
or
a
flat
20%
gratuity
added
to
every
check.
The
Tampa
Club's
guaranteed
gratuity
policy
means
staff
can
be
rude
to
patrons
without
any
sort
of
financial
consequence.
Paying
a
monthly
membership
fee
for
the
ability
to
pay
again
at
a
restaurant
hardly
seems
like
a
good
Idea
to
me.
Tampa
club
is
in
its
40th
year
of
operations
and
has
recently
completed
their
renovations
which
included
opening
the
terrace
on
the
42nd
floor
for
dining,
expanding
the
co-work
remote
space,
remodeling
of
the
member
grille
and
ballroom,
and
the
expanding
the
bar
to
a
whopping
24
seats.
If
you
have
to
join
a
dining
club,
I'd
have
to
recommend
the
Centre
Club
which
has
added
a
business
center
with
Internet
connections.
It
has
wine-tasting
parties,
a
concierge
who
gets
event
tickets
for
members
and
monthly
pizza
parties
for
members'
children.
