Many people love to sit at the bar to relax after a long day. It’s a great place to meet new people, enjoy some entertainment, and even grab a quick bite to eat. However, there are certain etiquette guidelines you should follow to ensure pleasant interactions with the bartender and even the other guests. Below are a few tips you should always keep in mind.

How to Improve Your Bar Etiquette

Speak Up

In most cases, the bar will be crowded, which will already make it a bit difficult to hear. And if it’s a live music venue, communicating with your bartender could be even more challenging. To avoid any mistakes and ensure you get the right order—as well as make the bartender’s life easier—don’t be afraid to speak louder than usual when requesting a drink. 

Be Prepared

If you’re ordering multiple drinks for yourself or for a group, have your money ready as soon as the bartender gets back. You should also order all the drinks at once, as this will help the bartender maximize their efficiency. Ordering just a couple of drinks at a time, however, will slow them down and take time away from other customers.

Keep the Tab Open

If you plan to order multiple rounds of drinks, avoid giving the bartender your credit card every single time. While it may seem easier to pay for each individual round, the bartender must run your credit card every time, which takes time away from making quality and efficient drinks. Instead, keep a tab open and pay when everyone is finished drinking.
