I have never actually been to a bar. I do all my drinking at home or maybe out somewhere in nature. However I will keep this post and comments in mind if I do decide to go to a bar.

I am a traveler and I usually work as part time bartender whenever I am a different cities. I am currently interested to purchase a travel bartender kit. I hope that I can practice myself even if I am staying in hostel or rented house. I learn a lot from the site and I will be back to read more. Thank you.

I’m also a bartender.. and I’m 100% positive you left some things off the list. As Colin above me noted, its clearly about the money.. it’s a job we do it to make a living. But, there are definitely more kinds of people I don’t like:

1. People who interrupt my conversation with another guest, just to ask for something useless like a coke or water.. and then don’t tip me for it.

2. People who make a big deal about needing a drink and getting your attention when it’s busy. But when you to get to them, they don’t know what they want.

3. People who talk about how well they tip(these kinds of people never tip)

4. People who come in late, and expect to drink past closing.. as if the rules aren’t the same all over the state.

5. People who like to spread out at the bar.. it takes up unnecessary space and takes money out of my pocket. Because now, no one can sit there.

6. And my favorite, regulars who expect all my time. I’m working.

As a bartender, I just wanted to chime in for a minute. A lot of this is true: Ordering waters doesn’t bother me, in Wisconsin I can go to jail if cops find out I over served someone and he got into some stuff.

Also, I don’t give a shit what you order. Pink, Blue, Dutch, Filled with jager, it doesn’t matter. I want your money. That’s it. I have a conversation with you and I agree with you because you will give more money to someone who is more like you. I generally do enjoy people, but I enjoy them more when they give me money. Order whatever you want, don’t be an asshole, and tip me well. Then everything is golden.

Decided to try the Jägerbomb for the first time a few days ago, got the ‘oops all out’ of Jägermeister. This guide speaks the truth.

I would say just look for the specials. I live in Richmond, Kentucky and every Wednesday night at the bars it’s “Whiskey Wednesday” and all shots of whiskey are 50cents ( you can’t beat that). There have been night where I just walk in, put 5 bucks on the counter and get super smashed within 10 minutes.
P.s. I want to go Holland.

hey guys,

I’m a student from Holland and we only drink beer. We get loads of free beer. Cocktails are expensive the alcohol you get for your money is low. Some facts about Holland your allowed to to smoke and drink when your 16 years old. We don’t have any guns at oll and their prety much never gets someone killed. Everybody drives drunk when you get cauth you get a fine for 500 euros and thats it. I’ve smoked weed while talking to a police officer at the same time I was taking a leak in the middle of the streat. He wanted to fine me for the peeying but I was so drunk I couldn’t find my ID. He laught and said well okay your to fucked up so never mind just go away quik. So ere comes my advice for cheap drinking…. Get to know the bar tender just come in early and make a chat. It,s better to do this with a guy then a girls because she will probably think your hitting on her. Oh and you do know what dutch people are famous for being greedy. So this is advice from the best. But anyway it’s beautifull wetter ouside it’s 11 o clock and I have a hangover but fuck it it,s fryday. So I wish everybody loads of alcohol and a nice evening greatings from Holland P.S. Excuse me for the grammer english is a foreign languege for me

I agree with EVERYTHING on these lists except for the pink drink thing..a good cosmo should be a real light pink and those will mess you up!! I drank them for years and had to stop because I would get sooo wasted on them! Fuzzy navel and mich ultra agree!
