Bar Etiquette

Bar hoppers have a direct impact on the surrounding neighborhoods and neighbors have been known to shut down bars. Park legally and respectfully. Screaming while you are pissing in the bushes and tossing your empty 40 ouncer is just plain uncool.

You look fabulous. You’re feelin’ good. You’re out having a good time…have your ID ready. Don’t piss off the door guy!

Cocktail time!! As you approach the bar, know your bar etiquette. For example, having cash in hand will ensure that you get the bartender’s attention. Waving money frantically and vocalizing your presence (Big No No’s) will result in bad service, and, possibly worse, weak drinks. Patience and courtesy will get you almost everywhere. The above, combined with a generous tip, will get you everywhere. When the bartender is ready to take your order…have your order ready, including your friend’s drinks. Don’t ask stupid questions, especially if your bartender is busy.

Hanging out! - No matter what you’ve got goin’ on…dancinbandwatchinlookinforlovechattin…. attempt to maintain a certain level of coolness. Nobody laughs with the vomit soaked, semi-conscious party victim. Many people can drink a dozen high-octane cocktails, but few can handle the effects. Learn your limits; keep track of how much you’re drinking. If you don’t know how much you’ve had, you’ve probably had too much, and remember folks…shots are drinks! There’s more to bar culture than just drinking, pick-up lines, and getting directions to the next after hours party; if you can’t dig what I’m layin’down…y’all stay at home.
