Ordering A Drink This Way Is A Red Flag For Bartenders

- Don't take your cues for how to behave at a bar from TV shows and movies. Fictional characters are often too rude, too indecisive, and use antiquated language when they order. And if you behave like them, then you'll be showing that you've seen people order a lot more drinks on TV than you've ever ordered yourself.
Show your inexperience too clearly, and you could get carded by the bartender. Or even if you don't make the bartender think you're underage, you could still convince them you're a rude customer who shouldn't be their priority. So follow the etiquette rules, and remember that ordering a drink this way is a red flag for bartenders.

Do you have any other advice on ordering drinks?
Vodka, sprite, splash of cranberry
I do... stop giving trash opinions and biased content. The only beneficial knowledge on how to order a drink was "don't be rude". What country of origin were you even speaking of? Most bars where I am from have 2-3 servers at a time. You're telling me an Irish car bomb is difficult? "Oh, I don't know how to pour a shot, and a beer!" While long islands, martinis, even a margarita takes more ingredients. What about moscow/Irish mules? Or even a grean tea?.... my advice is, don't give advice on anything you know nothing about... I gave you your compliment. The rest is constructive criticism. Now start building. Smh....
@@minicoop. also, cranberry mules are probably my second favorite mixed drink.
Why would I give a damn what a bartender thinks of me?
"Just because you want to have a night out, doesn't mean you have to ruin the bartenders shift" WTF? Maybe working in a customer service job isn't the right thing for that person to be doing then.
Also a good indicator that you are inexperienced and young is when you give a sh..t about what the bartender thinks about you when you’re ordering. 🙄
It's just cheaper to drink at home.
The wrinkles on my face proves I'm old and don't give a toss what the bar keep thinks of me. My smile and money talks! I order simple drinks and tip well.
Not knowing what 'neat' means.
edit: What a stupid list. These are so commonsense if you're human. "Don't snap at people or throw things at them." Yea, no shit.
What a joke.As a bartender, we don't care about any of this. We don't give a shit what you're ordering, you're gonna pay me regardless.
So, what you’re really saying is bartenders are snobs.
Worked at the Cheesecake Factory for six years, the only “no-no” is not presenting a valid ID when asked. We are trained to ID anyone who looks 30 or younger. It’s black and white not a psychological mind game. Also, some older people aren’t experienced drinkers and some underage people sadly are.
This channel really cares a lot about people's judgement 😆,please instead tell the content without ASSUMING how the person we are interacting with is judging us xD ....more or less majority of them are variables in our life anyway 😆
This is clearly told from the point of view of a California/ New York experience......I watch this channel purely for the fact that their wrong a majority of the time
I've found that being 71 years old, all the real bartenders I grew up with are dead and the KIDS serving me drinks now don't know what the hell they're doing!
Can't order a daiquiri without them thinking you want a slushy these days. Imagine explaining how to make a 3 ingredient classic to a "mixologist". Or worse, having to explain what is in a scotch and soda.
As the joke goes in NYC, what's the difference between a Bartender and a Mixologist?
About $5 per drink.
Most of the better bartenders I've seen (unless the place is slamming busy) will actually try to impart some friendly knowledge to inexperienced (legal) drinkers rather than get annoyed by them - to a point.
Crazy, when did people get so emotionally invested in what the bartender thinks?
Super simple - order your drink. If it only requires a top be taken off $1 tip. If it require three liquids mixed $2 tip. If it requires a magical performance (which I've never seen) then a ten spot for the group, cause why would you need that for yourself. Usually I'll order an old fashion ($ 3 tip if made right) - and then gauge the barkeeps skill based off that drink, then order accordingly. If they can't get that cocktail right - then I'll stick to bottle tops and straight shots for the remanding rounds. If they are amazing at their job, i'll ask them to make something - that gets a ten spot as well.
Wait a minute, isn't the bartender getting paid? Isn't his job to take a drink order and then make the drink? That's why he's there right?
So why would you give him a dollar to take the cap off of a beer bottle?
The last time I was in a bar, a bottle of beer was $5.50, which is outrageous anyway. Plus another dollar for removing the bottle cap?
@@donmiller2908 It all depends what type of bar you are at, and how crowded it is. If it's a crowded bar that's a popular spot, where the drinks are going to be expensive anyways, tipping well is to ensure fast service. If you tip well your first round, they remember you and make everyone wait while the bartender gets your drinks.
So basically, you have to be at least a casual drinker and know what you like. If you never really drink to know what you like, this would put you on the sh*t list?
That's how life is. 🤠
You know the flavors you injoy in life.
Oder it like a deseart or savory bread, list what you like, and ask for it, in its recomended vessle.
If they match your tastes, then tip heavy, if they don't, tip well, drink your dink, and as you order your next, tell them what made the drink unpleasant to you.
For example, at a bar and grill, i order my drink.
I tell them red wine can upsen my gut, i enjoy sweet wine over bitter. With a favoring on white, yet have yet to find one i truly enjoy.
A gaggle of waitress had a huddle and gave me a red apple wine, that may be the best i ever had.
They got ten or fifteen as a tip, the steak was also great. i also thanked them profusely, leaving my table to do so, as i felt they went beyond there duty for me.
So basically the customer should yield to the ease of the person serving them. What a joke. I was a bartender for over a decade and we had to make the way drinks and the hard drinks. And sometimes people didn't tip well. The customer was always right even if they were wrong and drunk. And cheap. And ignorant. It's a job butter cup. Stuck it up and do the job or go drop french fries in a fast food joint.
Today bars have a zillion choices in not just liquor but beer and specialties. Sometimes I ask questions. I like to know what's on special. Maybe what the bartender thinks is good. If the bartending is off any quality, he or she should know many drinks to suggest to someone who is new to ordering or my want to try something new.
If you don't like being a bartender and making difficult drinks, dealing with needs or the casual drinker then go get another job.
Being westerns went out of fashion over 50 years ago, who are these people ordering like they are in a saloon?
If "saloon" is in the name then, yes!
How about you just take the bartender's orders and pay them to drink as well.
three fingers= half a tumbler of whatever. any bartender who doesnt know that isnt worth tipping...
These rules only apply to nightclubs. Regular bars have polite and friendly bartenders that want to hear about your day. The more you talk the more you will probably drink, not to mention come back to do it all over again.
I think of all of the bartenders who didn't know how to make a dirty martini. That when I know I'm better off going home.
Bartenders with this type of attitude bankrupt the bar. People don’t get served because bartender has hurt feelings? Something’s gotta give. Unless you own the place the establishment goes down quickly just from word of mouth or a yelp. Pour me a drink and shake it with a smile on your face regardless if you got dirty diapers. Your a tender at the bar.
Say you're from Utah without saying you're from Utah...
After being seated at a steakhouse, the server came to take our drink orders. When she came to me, I ordered an 'Old Fashioned'.
Her reply, "an Old Fashioned what?" I just stuck to red wine that night.
Snapping fingers or tapping your glass or bottle will always put you at the bottom of my list.
Judge much? Bars are filled with enablers. Plain and simple.
Last July, I went into a saloon in Mall of America, Minnesota, and ordered Makers' Mark Bourbon, straight double shots, so the bartender asked for my passport. Perhaps, I should use finger ordering, to avoid being checked, even though I am 40. LOL!
"Memorize your order so your ready."
I've been smoking marlboro red shorts for years but I still fuck that up occasionally. But then again I'm old.
This is ridiculous. Order by shots instead of fingers? Both of which are 1 oz. There may be some inexperience on the bartender side but probably not the customer side. The only person I remember doing this was a Vietnam vet. But isn't it the equivalent of saying "on the rocks" when you mean "on ice" because rocks are different sizes and and different temperatures and you must be young if you order "on the rocks" when you mean "on ice". This is just stupid. If the bartender knows what you mean then you are good to go.
Reminds me of a hamburger order that was "cut the onions". This means don't put them on the burger please. But it came back with chopped onions.
My advice is make eye contact, speak clearly, tip generously. And if the bartender is swamped you might order something simple like a bottle of beer. You be the judge.
It’s awful when the people I’m paying to serve me think badly or look down on me!
By the way: Empty your embarrassing rubbish before the cleaning crew arrives. Prewash your dirty laundry before taking them to the cleaners. Spray down your vehicle before the car wash. Tighten up those edges before the barber. Etc 🙄
Unpopular opinion. Demand more pay instead of expecting a tip. I'm out to treat myself not pay your bills, I cut grass for a living I don't cut it then go to the door and ask for a tip. It's my job and I'm already paid to do it
The last thing I gauged by fingers was decades ago and usually was in a sandwich bag.
I loath going to an establishment that is so busy, loud that I have to be the same to order a drink.
Why would anyone give a damn what a bartender thinks? LOL, what a joke.
I only go out after 420! Who needs a drink then.
I find that ordering Whisky in most bars is annoying. Few bars serve good whisky in the correct glasses and look at you like a jerk when you ask for a glass you can actually enjoy the drink with. Shooting whisky is for morons and this tends to be the way most bar tenders serve whisky i.e. shot glasses or tumblers.
Glad I don't go to bars, in the US anyway.
..... the first tip....... were not in the 1800's or prior to prohibition....what country is this from? Who asks for a horoscope sign? You're more than likely to just be refused. A titos tequila is a thing and it's just titos with a splash of Jose quervo. I will agree with not being rude to the bar tender. But an Irish car bomb is not difficult. It's more difficult to make a long Island than a car bomb.... most bars where I'm from won't serve you 20+drinks at a time for a party of five or less. Yet we will easily drink 30 or more.... where is this information coming from? I feel as if I was just read a children's book on how to color. What country does this originate? I can't vouch for other countries but this is ridiculous.... asking me what my states capital or what my horoscope sign is... that is literally assuming all bartenders are fluent in astrology. What's next? Oh, you're a Leo? What cusp and retrograde are associated with that?! This "identification card" looks just like you. But let me give you a pop quiz..... give your balls a tug and pull your finger out of your ass. I asked for a drink. Not an application to nasa....
I ordered in fingers and was rushed en masse by each and every patron and savagely beaten for an hour.
I'm a barman in Ireland and I will never understand why people here ask for ice with their beer?
Why would it matter if you don't drink much and have a problem ordering at a bar.
Thats there job.
And the finger order not a big deal is still done by alot of older guys here.
From personal experience dont ask the bar tender for human milk infused tequila. They called security on me.
Who cares? When I drank at a bar, I'd order a ginger ale and pour whatever I had in my flask in it. I'm not paying for liquor at a bar. I was a proper alcoholic and drank my cheap Barton vodka at home or at work in a water bottle.
Touchy touchy. Interesting how it all sounds so critical. I could care less, if you put it that way.
These were all pretty stupid
Wow, I didn't know!! I'm going to a bar with a girl now. I'll def take this advice into my head!
Because we are all American.
"What's the one word that could signal to a bartender that you're an amateur at ordering drinks?"
Why would I care what a bartender thought about me?
I don't understand why someone orders a top shelf liquor and wants coke or sprite added to it. Top shelf should be consumed without mixers. Drink the cheap stuff with mixers.
Because they want to? And they're paying for it? They can drink whatever they like, it's their mouth.
It has happened for me hhhmmmm
Bartender: your too drunk for another
4 beers deep guy: tab out please.
Bartender: have a nice drive home.
Legal system: a Bartender who over serves their guests is responsible for the actions of the people they helped get drunk.
Me: how does the law recognize alcohol incapacitates and you might need someone else's judgment on whether or not to drink more but if that same person let's you drive home it's all on the driver?
So what
When I need service at a bar I just whistle as loud as I can.
Would you like to scratch my belly too? I mean, if you want to treat me like a dog, then go full out
@@corypoole787 I was just being sarcastic sorry I hurt your feelings
🤔...?
Please don't ask for less ice expecting more liquor.
Literally nobody has ever done that. It isn't a McDonald's soda.
I've worked the service industry for years and it's quiet common at least in my area since people are cheap alcoholics.
@@Attivian bull.
If you want to get the best service now then do it like we used to do:
Pay in cash.
No exceptions!!
Buy by the round.
NO to running a tab!!
Tip well every time in CASH!!
Notice a theme here?
I bartended my way through college in the 90s so things were very different as far as payment went.
So if you tipped well in cash each order I'd prioritize your drink before those who didn't tip.
I'm not sure I'd be very happy bartending now in our increasingly cashless society where you give someone their final bill for the evening and they write in $5 for a check with 10 drinks on it.
I'd much rather run a tab than have someone pay per round. One transaction versus countless is just easier which gives time to make more money.
Paying in cash after every round is time consuming for the bartender and a waste of time. He or she doesn't want to run around braking change. When they could be tending the bar.
@@johnathoncastro Have you ever been a bartender in an extremely busy bar??
My guess is probably not.
@@christianoliver3572 No I haven't but I frequent enough bars that I know its best to open a tab and keep it open until you're ready to pay....and ofcourse take care of the bartender...tips are always preferred in cash.
@@christianoliver3572 I have and that's why I'd rather have people run a tab. Keeps people accountable as you have their ID or CC and you only have to ask for a name on the tab to add to the bill AND you can do it on your time if someone else is right there ready to order. Maybe running a tab in the 90s before POS systems evolved to what they are now was harder, but just no my dude. You're wrong.
the REAL red flags are not being polite and not tipping well- and for god's sake order SIMPLE DRINKS- Jack and coke, bourbon and seven- maybe a damn margarita (and DON"T get picky with that) If you want your cocktails to be PERFECT- learn how to do it yourself, stay home and stop bothering people trying to make a living
Bartender doesn't want to tend bar, blames others for his poor life choices, thinks a marg is too complicated.
