Usually, a buck a drink. Unless it's a very expensive spot, then make it two or 3 dollars. If it looks like you'll be sitting at the bar for a while and running a tab, tip 20% when you pay the bill.

**I'm wondering how much spit, snot, and urine that Blue Sage Badger and her husband have consumed over the years? Or maybe they know better than to go back to the same place more than once. If I were a service person and they returned to my workplace after not leaving me a tip, I'd be sure to give them "something extra" in their drink and/or food. *You realize this is done to bad customers all the time, don't you?*

BSB, You sound like a cranky wench and that's just a dang shame.

10-15%

Atleast a dollar.
No more than a dollar.

If I am running a tab, I do not tip for each drink. However, I do tip at least 20-30% when I close out.

If I am paying cash, I usually tip $1 for beers, and usually $1 for each mixed drink.

Its all depends.at least $5-$10/-

You can tip either way. If you plan on tipping after each drink $1 or $2 is fine, but if you wait to tip when you pay off your tab 15-20% is appropriate.

My dad always tips 1-2 dollars. If you tip to much they will keep trying to get money, give to little and they will get mad and next time the quality might not be as good as they can do.

I tip the waitress depending on her service. If it is very good then I tip fifty percent of the cost. At the end of the evening we used to take a tip pool and this amount was given to the waitress.

I carry cash only to a bar, and maybe a dollar every other drink.

I always run a tab. This way I usually spend less on tips & get better service. I order beer & they are about $3.75 each. If I pay with a $5, they expect it every time. If I run a tab I can keep better control of my drinking & spending.

5 beers @ $3.75= $18.75 x 15%= $21.56

I usually save up to $10 per night out.

here's a tip: if this job sucks, go work for someone who pays you what you think you're worth, customers don't have to tip other professions

if everyone in food and bev walked out tomorrow, restaurants, bars, would HAVE to pay them more, and adjust pricing accordingly, which would simplify life for customer and employee alike

We don't tip anyone for anything.
Nobody tips me or my husband for our work. And don't give me that crap about waiters & waitresses depend on tips. Tuff! They don't work any harder than anyone else. They should get jobs that pay better instead of believing they deserve tips for asking you what you want to eat & drink & then bringing it to you.
I do that at home for my husband & three boys & I don't expect a tip for it. My husband is a surgeon, maybe he should expect tips from people who's lives he saves huh?

You can tip either after every drink or when the tab is settled. You should tip at least 20% of the bill. Be advised that the cocktail waitress must share her tips with the bartenders---but the bartenders do not share their tips with waitresses. In other words, if you sat at a table, and paid your tab at the bar on your way out, oftentimes the waitress does not get the tip.

2 dollars

When I pay off my tab, I give him / her 15 - 20% tip, it should be okay.

I just usually tip a buck - whether he pours one drink for me or whether its 2 drinks one for me and a friend.

Dollar a drink if its a cash bar. If you have a tab, 20% at the end is cool.

a buck a drink... or if the 'tender is sassy nothing.... but i only have that problem in NY for some reason.
