My roommate is a bartender. If you don't tip, they do remember you -- so keep that in mind and my recommendation is to tip each purchase. Tips are an important part of his pay - more a "must have" than a "nice to have" so for those reading, do be considerate.
Thumb rule: Tip about 15 percent of the tab from the bar. If you only buy one drink, tip $1.
Other tips - 1) if you pick up a drink at the bar and then go to a table at a resturant, leave a little something for the bartender, because he/she does not get a share of the meal tab, 2) if you are sitting at the bar a LONG time (several hours) and only have one drink, think about leaving something extra when you go, particularly if you have been engaged in conversation with the bartender (if your cute, a phone number can do as well, *cough* or so I've been told).

When I was in college, we would go out as a group of 10 people or so, and tip the bartender $100 at the beginning of the night. It was hands-down the best way to ensure great service (and always resulted in lots of free drinks). If I'm ordering just for myself and not as part of the group, I'll tip maybe $5 up front and then $1 on each drink as the night goes on.

i'm a bartender/ waitress in a Bar/eating place - what i've got observed is whilst a customer get a bottle of beer, I in lots of situations get $a million, whilst they order a mixed drink or beer on faucet, i'm going to get everywhere from $2 - $5. It additionally relies upon on how inebriated the guy is. The greater somebody has to drink the greater they in lots of situations tip. If there's a tab, i'm going to in lots of situations cut back it down somewhat, which will produce a larger tip. With dinner exams the guideline of thumb is in lots of situations double the tax. I even have additionally observed that hardly occurs too, it rather is often lots larger. in lots of situations whilst i pass out I tip lots greater effective than I ought to because of the fact i comprehend what bartenders ought to manage. i think of being beneficiant is a thank you to pass, because of the fact I artwork for tips, i don't get incredibly some dwelling house funds. once you have a stable bartender and that they keep in mind your call and your drink you need to definetly tip larger, because of the fact it potential they care!!!!!

It's a standard dollar per drink, until you order things like bloody mary's, margaritas, or daquiris, which are a pain to make and are really time consuming. Think: if the bartender can make $1 per drink pouring beers and jack and cokes, and instead, he's taking 5 min to make you a strawberry daquiri, you should compensate him for his time, and be thankful that he took the time out to make it for you the right way.

It really depends on the people and how you present yourself. Tips generally should be between 2-5 dollars per person for the night, I think. If somebody doesn't leave a tip, they should be shot.
