TOP TIPS!
Please note in order to drink alcohol you must be over 21. Make sure to bring some ID with you, even if you're 40 - yes, really! They are quite strict on ID, so don't be disappointed and bring some form of ID with a D.O.B on it.
It's common practice to leave a tip for good service. Not to tip will cause offense. The rate is normally around 15-20% for good service, more if you feel it was outstanding, and less of course if it wasn't! For drinks at the bar you should normally tip a dollar per drink.
