Tipping Etiquette #3 – Tip Well in Beginning | How to Tip at a Bar

Reese Richards here, from barsandbartending.com! And you’re at the bar.

You’ve ordered the drink, and now it’s time to tip. So. So, rules when tipping – tip well in the beginning.

The first drink that you get… ok, this is an awesome rule, ok? So, you go to the bar and you order your first drink, and let’s say it’s a beer, ok? It’s $5, and you leave $10, ok?

That’s double. You don’t have to leave $10 all the time, but you leave $10 that first time, and the bartender’s gonna remember you.

The next time I see your face, I’m coming straight to you, I’m gonna take care of you. Ok?

Leave a good tip in the beginning, and the bartender’s gonna remember you.

Don’t forget to tip every drink, though. Not $5. Tip the regular 15 to 20%, ok?
