10 UNWRITTEN RULES OF AN IRISH PUB

[t-noah]

They forgot one. Don't tip your waitress or bartender. When we were in Ireland cab drivers and servers do not expect ( in some cases do not want) to be tipped. They feel they should not have to be "bribed" to provide good service.

Not a rule but also be aware when your server brings your food in a pub and they ask if you need anything else, think hard about it. Because you will not see them again. They typically will not come back to your table until you leave.

I'm not sure when you were there but that motto in Ireland and the UK is def changing a bit. I've been to many a pub that now have an electronic tap to tip machine near the bar area. It's usually only 1 quid or 1 euro, but still. Times be a changing.

Do you pay right when you order?

Yep, at most places at least.
