Last call

Here’s the deal with last call. At a designated time set by the government, there is to be NO alcohol distributed under any circumstances. If you did not hear the DJ say last call, I can’t help you. If your watch is 5 minutes slower than the clock in the bar, I can’t help you. If you were waiting in line, and the person in front of you took forever and you’ve been standing here for 10 minutes, and all you want is one more beer, and you’ll give me a 10 dollar tip, I can’t help you. It’s up to you to keep an eye on the clock, and get to the bar in plenty of time so you can acquire that all so important last cocktail of the evening. Don’t take it out on the bartender if you can’t tell time.

The Rock Star

If you want to be treated like a rock star when you go to the club, make sure you tip the bartender BIG when you order your first cocktail. Some people wait until the end of the night to tip, but by then they’ve probably been waiting in line all night. This will ensure that the bartender will notice you, and you will most likely get front of the line access all night. So what qualifies as a BIG tip? The average tip is about $1 per drink. A good tip is usually $2 per drink. Any thing above $2 per drink will get you noticed. Some people will lay down a twenty at the beginning of the night and they pretty much get their own personal bartender for the evening.
