Bar Tips - How to Get Served in the Bar

The standard rule for tipping is $1 dollar per drink. If you're ordering a large quantity of drinks, then tip 20 percent on the final bill. Don't be cheap, they're working while you're having fun.

Don't become upset or roll your eyes when a bartender asks you what's in the drink you ordered. Each bar is as different as the next, and unless it's something obvious like a "rum and diet coke," they won't necessarily know what a Rubber Ducky is.

If you think you're being subtle, you're not. You're a dumb drunk idiot, and you're not fooling anyone. Don't be creepy. Chances are the guy taking pictures of female bartenders is also the same guy all the other girls in the bar are putting on their "avoid that weirdo," list.

Don't slap your credit card on the table, or flash your cash in their face when it's busy. They know you need a drink, they're getting to you, and you just wind up looking like a dick they don't want to serve.

Bartenders rarely hear a "please," or a "thank you." Don't become impatient, don't roll your eyes, and when he/she is pouring a drink, a "how's your night going?" goes a long way.
