fluidnyc Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Depends how busy it is.If its a madhouse, I'll throw a $20 to the bartender this way he remembers me, and when I walk up to the bar "no matter" how crowed it is, I get served asap as soon as I get there.Ive been doing this for the longest...and the bartenders appreciate it more. Im not a big drinker though..If I just go by myself to the bar and get a single drink, I'll leave 2 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoke Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 What about the "bartenders" at Vinyl? Surely they don't get paid only on tips? I've never seen anybody leave even a measly quarter for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusted Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 It all depends on how many buy backs I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistressbella Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Listen bartenders can become ur best friends so tip well and tip big REMEMBER the next time u go and get a drink they will take care of u. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickhouse Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 If you're a regular at this place and you want the bartenders to remember you, tip well occasionally (i.e. every 4th time up or so tip them a couple bucks extra). This is pretty useless at clubs, but can be really good for lounges.Otherwise, $1 per drink if you're paying up front ($2 or $3 for the first drink if they're paying attention so they serve you faster later in the night), 20% if you're drinking off a tab, and if you don't have money for tips by the end of the night, I'm sure the bartenders wouldn't mind you performing oral pleasure on them in the back. <--- I'm pretty sure this is actually performing cunnilingus/fellatio/analingus rather than laughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barvybe Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 tippings like everything else: you get back what u put in.always a buck - pretty much no matter how expensive or cheap the drink is. if i don't have singles, i'll tip $5 and not tip on the next round.when the bartender buys back i usually give them 4 or 5 bucks per drink as a tip. if its more than 4 drinks though, i just give them 20 bucks.if i'm with a big group or at a fancy sit down place i'll just tip a bunch up front so no hassles and the bartender / waiter(tress) knows they are gonna get taken care of.but i will say this: i don't think that u need to tip every time at a really crowded place where the bartenders are impersonal and u'r never gonna get better service. if a bartender makes 500 drinks a night at a club, that 500 bucks. that's a lot of dough, and i don't feel bad for them. when its your local bar or a smaller place then its different and u gotta be sure to take care of your peeps.

kitty19 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 tipping is a definite must. i think it's rude and tasteless if you leave very little or nothing.having said that, i consider myself a very big tipper b/c it's hell working the hours that bartenders/waiters do and i know that tips are what they rely on. at restaurants if the service is shitty i give 15%, otherwise it's 20-25%. i'll always start off the night with a tip around $4-5, then continue at about $1-2 afterwards if i stick with the same bartender.and a note to bartenders, it makes my day when i get a sincere thank you for the generous tips i give. i'll give huge tips and usually get free shots/a big smile & thank you afterwards. that's cool with me.

hoke Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 I tip the "bartenders" at Vinyl.Good! You're one of few (I'll admit, I rarely have, but based on this thread I may begin to do so.) Do they get paid otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoked Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 I tip $1 a drink like most of U ppl. But bar hopping b4 hitting the clubs saves lotta cash. I have been drinking cueva tequila mixed with red bull lately and it gives me a buzz with a kick. I am buzzed and hyper at the same time. 3 of those drinks and roll into a club around 2 AM ready to dance, especially to Vinyl , where they don't serve alcohol.

Teknojunkee Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Wow...I guess i am Either Very Stupid or Very Generous, Maybe alittle of both, but I usually tip around the same price as the Drink. I know if i got a Shot ($7) I tip another $7. I never Tip over $7 though...at city clubs anyways. When im out here on the island I usually tip no more than $4 - 5 a drink.

maximman Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Originally posted by joeg yeah $1/per drink... but I dont' tip for redbull or water... its just them handing me a can/bottle... atleast beer they have to cap it... and mixed drinks they actually have to work... this is true, but i mean... so, the bartender should suffer by not getting tipped because YOU opted for a water instead of an alcoholic drink? If the bartender got to pick what you drank and they grabbed a water for you, THEN i could understand not tipping cuz that just means they're lazy.... but you picked water, and they had to get it for you.... *Something to think about* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewater Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 always +1 dollar per drink, including bottled water. experience has shown me that as long as i do that, my drinks usually get stronger during the night and i evntually get a buyback or two Look out for the bartenders and they look out for you, plain and simple.
