Ive never been to a bar
im leaving to go to portland in an hour or so. i just turned 21 a few days ago. ive never been to a bar, but i plan to go while im there. do i pay per drink or can i open a tab anywhere? do all bars accept credit cards or should i plan on paying cash? and how does tipping work? Is my tip based on the number of drinks or the total bill? And finally, do i tip more for mixed drinks than i would a beer? Or is it all the same?
Thanks, DB |

Re: Ive never been to a bar
weird, i think the answer to all your questions is yes.
yes, you can pay per drink. yes, you can open a tab. yes, all bars accept credit cards. you can tip either based on # of drinks or based on the total bill. i think a dollar per drink is fine if you choose that route. have fun. do a shot of prairie fire for me. |

Re: Ive never been to a bar
if youre staying for a while open a tab, they may require you to leave your card at the bar --
its easier than paying evey time you get a drink it depends ---alot on service--- not that tipping does usually not, but when your drinking i never want to look at an empty glass, this is very frustrating especially when im thirsty or not drunk i guess you could tip more for mixed drinks if your are dealing directly with the person making the drinks - if the drinks turn out really good - also they may decide to start adding a little extra for you i think that most places now accept debit/credit cards most bars around beers/drinks are 2-5$ so i usually tip about a dollar a drink have a good time |

Re: Ive never been to a bar
side note: depending on the type of bar you go to (local bar rather than a dance club), you can just pop $20 or $40 or whatever on the bar and the bartender will take from it each time you order a beer/drink. i guess this is more for when youre actually sitting at the bar

Re: Ive never been to a bar
2 Questions that you did not ask that you should have:
1."Should I tell my waitress/bartender that it is my 21st B-day?" Yes - chances are you will get a couple free drinks out of this. 2. "Can I order a Zima?" [censored] No! |
