Bartender’s “pet peeves”

Do you flag down your bartender by waving money at them?

Yeah…don’t do that!

They HATE it…and you may get your drinks later rather than sooner.

Here are some more things you do at bars that you should stop doing yesterday from Alcohol.org:.

  • Asking for a free drink
  • Whistling to get their attention
  • Asking them to “surprise” you when they ask what you want
  • Asking them to make your drink strong
  • Excessive conversation, especially if they’re busy
  • Trying to flirt with them
  • Ordering multiple drinks, one at a time
  • Ordering too many drinks for multiple people all at once
  • Not using a coaster (you should’ve listened to your mother!)

What drink orders make you seem lame-o, according to bartenders?

Appletinis, Jägerbombs, any frozen drink, Sex on the Beach and Iarish car bombs.

We’ll just have a draft, thanks! 🍺
