yip .. if its an open bar why tip to get better service...
Why? Because I want better service.
that sounds like desperation to me!!
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
Was on one of those dinner cruises in NYC last night. I really hate dinner cruises, but I digress. I had to be there. Open bar all night. First drink I left $20 and that was the last weak drink of the night (was made prior to the tip being presented). My drinks were never made ahead of others (nor should they have been) but as soon as it was my turn my drink was made and I was on my way. (On a side note, charging $15 for a vodka soda on a boat is a joke, felt bad for those paying). Seeing how the night would have cost me about $200 (between drinks my gf and I consumed and the cost of the trip), $20 was a steal!

My gf + I are getting married at the end of the month. The reception is at a local country club, open bar. The club included a gratuity in the overall bill for the event. ERGO, bar staff are getting tipped already.
At similar events, I have always tipped under the impression that it would help cover the cost of the booze for the wedding couple. However, guests tipping the bar staff at my wedding will simply be collecting a SECOND ROUND of tips from guests, while I tip them as part of the bill.
This is frustrating + a bit awkward; any ideas?
Cheers.
'Cause you don't give blood and take it back again.

don't sweat it ... it's your wedding day ... enjoy it ... if someone asks you whether they should tip - let them know it was part of the bill ... if someone wants to tip - it's their choice and it won't really matter in the grand scheme of things ...

You tip!!
Maybe not every drink, but at least t the end of the night.
if it's an open bar with one or two bartenders, tip big on the first drink. the rest of the night your drinks will be made with care
at least this is what i have been told by catering place bartenders
