Generally, I don't tip. I usually only have one or two drinks and, to me, that just doesn't warrant a tip in a lounge. If I'm there for a long while, order a bunch of things for friends/acquaintances, or spend a lot of time taking with the tender, then perhaps I would consider a tip. But generally, I don't. I'm just used to not having to reach for my wallet once I'm actually in the club. That's part of the reason why I buy a membership.
the nature of a bartending job is that they work for tips. It is especially important that you tip them when its open bar(free drinks).

I generally tip $1 or $2 per drink.
