‘Stingy’ Harvard Club ditches penny-pinching ways



The good times are back at the exclusive Harvard Club.


Management’s penny-pinching ways — which kept bartenders from pouring the robust drinks members had come to expect — have eased up on the heels of The Post’s scathing report on the club’s belt-tightening, members and staffers of the 120-year-old outpost told The Post.


“They’re pouring like crazy at the bar. It’s outrageous,” one member told The Post. “We got refills. It was like the good old times.”


On Monday, The Post reported the crackdown — that included a prohibition against comped drinks, even for big spenders, and orders to eke five or six glasses of wine out of a bottle instead of four — had angered members. Fueling members’ outrage was the dismissal of several longtime workers who refused to toe the line.
