Tipping Etiquette

Support the craft. Respect the experience.

Your $5 cocktail is a member benefit, not the true value of the drink. Every cocktail is crafted with the same care, ingredients, and expertise as a full-priced menu item.

01

Tip based on full value

Please tip based on the regular menu price (typically $18–$22), not the discounted $5 you paid.

02

Standard tipping guidance

  • 20% or more is the expected baseline.
  • Exceptional service deserves a tip above the standard.
  • Additional drinks or food? Tip on the full check, full price.

03

Be a great guest

  • Show appreciation. A simple thank you goes a long way.
  • Be patient during busy service periods.
  • Consider another round or a bite to eat. The bar wins, you win.

04

Why this matters

  • Supports the people behind the bar

    Bartenders pour real drinks. Their craft and time deserve real compensation.

  • Strengthens venue relationships

    Generous members build trust with our partners. Trust opens doors.

  • Keeps the program sustainable

    This works long-term only when every venue wants to keep saying yes.

Take care of the bar, and they’ll take care of you.
