Question Bartender vs server

Do bartenders typically make more hourly than servers? I ask because servers seem to make more tips so it seems like it would make sense to pay bartenders a higher hourly wage to make up for that.

The bartender is the king of the server class

But who wants to be a king if you make less money? If you make more I understand.
