He was just an asshole. My bartender friend used to tell me that the majority of people dont tip at all when ordering drinks. That guy should've been grateful.

I give a buck or two per drink, depends of the circumstances ;)

05-29-2006, 05:32 PM

1$ per shot/drink

Herb Kornfield · 05-29-2006, 05:47 PM

$1.00 + whatever coins came with the drink so Im not rattling all night.

Also ... I take the time to say please and thank you + be make the bartender / waitress laugh a bit and relax. Its amazing how being polite with people working a room helps you get served when there's a crowd

Totally depends where I am. Usually I don't tip because I just order a fucking beer. Sometimes I leave a buck. Around here that is enough

DBS.US · 05-29-2006, 06:16 PM

I never get my own drinks from the bartender. I use a waitress and tip 30%+

minusonebit · 05-29-2006, 06:57 PM

Its always depends on the service, just like a waiter. People who tip based on a set percentage or amount without regard to the service are too stupid to have money (they should give it all to me instead) and as the old addage goes, fools and thier money soon part.

If the service is good, I'll tip well. If it was OK, then the tip is OK. And if it made my turd look better than the service, then the tip will be shit too.

I tip on takeout too, but I had an experince so bad in that department once that I actually called the manager after I got home and told him to remove the entire tip from my credit card and if he didnt, I would be sure to promptly file for a chargeback with Visa.

Especially the first round , i give a nice tip cause when its 3 deep that bartender sees ya you will get your drinks faster than john doe next to ya

yep yep... also as an ex bartender a $1 a drink is cool, however if you want better service, more booze and free drinks for the hoes flanking you I would throw the bartender a $20 spot up front and then a buck a drink.

Waste of money, those chicks don't control the booze. In fact, as most waitresses go, they get less booze from the barman, because they don't know how to tip out right themselves.

363 people opened the thread and 43 voted. That is an amazing stat. Pretty benign vote. If people found out you over or undertip it would probably not wreak you street cred here.

depends on what I ordered, I drink lots of club soda.I leave a buck for each one.

I will be one to admit that I rarely tip bartenders.

I used to but it never was worth it in the least. It is hard enough to get their damn fucking attention to begin with. Damn bars are about as high as my nose and they fucking smell like stale shit. Want a tip, wipe the fucking bar down once a decade.

Next thing, how fucking hard is it to get a tall tonic and lime easy on the ice. Fuckers can never seem to get it right and they treat you like your a waste of time because instead of spending 4 to 6 bucks on a mixed drink I am only spending 4 to 5 bucks on fucking water and a wedge of lime.

I will however tip under the following situations.

Vegas or any casino where a roaming waitress brings you the drink, then a buck or two is only fair. She remembered where you were and what you wanted.

When I send other people to the bar to get stuff for me. Like if a friend or associate asks if they can get me anything. I will toss that person the drink cost plus a few bucks. I tell him or her he can tip or buy himself a drink.

When there is an open bar hosted by someone. Then it is only fair.

gandalfuy · 05-29-2006, 09:50 PM

10%... too cheep ? :S

OY · 05-29-2006, 09:54 PM

I start off overtipping 40% or more - then I flat out at around $2 per drink after that...

Gives faster response, stronger drinks and a better experience.

Hotrocket · 05-29-2006, 09:57 PM

I always tip about $5 on the 1st round..then about $1-2 per drink after..sometimes more tho if its a big drink order, just depends on service and where I'm at

slapass · 05-30-2006, 11:35 AM

Took notes. tip big up front and taper off. I take care of them on tabs. Different situation there.
