Interesting.  From a management point of view, I often worried that I couldn't 
offer a position that would keep someone "over-qualified" happy...i.e. someone 
with years and years of bartending experience comes in and all I have is 
serving.  Other concerns are if you can actually train this person, since they 
may think they know it all.  I didn't have this mentality very often, as I 
don't like to pass up "rock stars."  Perhaps you could go into these clubs and 
develop a rapport with the employees already there...see what they're hiring 
for, and even if they can put in a good word for you.  My most recent 
experience in the job hunt was putting in an app at a restaurant/bar, and the 
manager was VERY interested in my resume, plus I had some of his employees in 
my bar across the street, so they all knew me and liked me.  Scored tons of 
points.
