Salem servers/bartenders: how much do you make during different parts of the year?

It's looking like I'll be moving to the Salem area in a few months. I'm currently a bartender in Cambridge and I'm trying to figure out if it's better to commute to my current job or look for something in Salem. Being closer to new home would be nicer and I'm sure the money in October is great, but how is the pay year round? Any advice is appreciated!
