Bartenders Hate When You Do This

We live in Las Vegas,  so  we should at least know the basics of ordering drinks, and cocktailing etiquette.

Historically, bartending was a part-time job. Something you did to get customer service experience or as a transitional job in college. But that’s changed dramatically. Bartending is a career now, and it has to be to keep up with the demands for new and changing drink menus, cram-packed with craft cocktails - that we don't want to make ourselves!

Bartenders are now Mixologists. They're professionals at their craft, who take pride in their career.

Bartenders also tend to be great listeners and are often able to offer advice on all types of things. Who doesn’t get a little chatty after their third or fourth drink? Lucky for us, bartenders also tend to be really good at keeping their thought to themselves.  - like the things you do that they secretly hate.

Here's something to help you out next time you hit up happy hour. Someone asked bartenders to name those annoying things customers do.  Here are a few things bartenders hate - read up - because you'll probably get better service.

Be honest - you know you're not just having one!

"Can I also have a martini?"  And when they hand it to you, "and four Long Islands."  "And also...." Just put your whole order in at once!

It's tacky, and it really means more of everything BUT booze!

It's their job to be nice, and maybe even a little flirty. I mean, remember that stripper that was totally into you?/ Exactly...

- then you say, "Bud Light's fine." Dear God - branch out! Try a local IPA they were nice enough to tell you about!

You see all the chairs on tables but still ask, "Can I still get a drink?"

YOU know it's something you read about online once, so don't act surprised when they've never heard of it before.

We've all done it! But now they just have to dig in there and get them out.

"Excuse me, bartender - this can't be right!!" It's right.
