<p>Standard tipping is like this (generally): $1-2/beer where you just have to pour a drink and it’s a standard $3-7 beer or whatever. 20% if it’s a specialty drink that requires mixing and whatnot. You tip higher if you happen to get a free drink. Some tip higher if it’s happy hour and you’re getting a good deal. </p>
<p>Bartenders are social people by nature. They are NOT servers. Yes, it is their job to bring you your drinks but it is also their job to entertain people and try to keep them by the bar to order more. </p>
