If you started a bar...
 
Who would you give free drinks to?

TFP members? :P

Halx 07-26-2003 11:42 AM

anyone who ordered while naked

tenchi069 07-26-2003 12:13 PM

Free drinks to off duty employees/security. A reasonable price on all drinks for everyone else. No $8 per shot of cheap vodka. If i want to keep out the winos and riff raff, that's what i would have security for. No need to hike prices up for all the decent folks :)

Stiltzkin 07-26-2003 12:20 PM

Free drinks? My closest friends. Three people.

gar1976 07-26-2003 12:32 PM

Drinks are where bars make most of their margins, and giving away free drinks opens up a whole can of worms for legal liability for bars.

But heck, since we're dreaming, naked chicks and workers.

wally 07-26-2003 01:37 PM

I can see it now- all these naked chicks lining up for the free drinks!! Oh well, like you guys have said, we can at least dream...

numberfive 07-26-2003 02:24 PM

Close friends and people with creativity. I mean, if someone wrote legibly on their ass, "I'd like a shot of vodka" then that shot would be on the house.

Maekio 07-26-2003 02:59 PM

Myself.

cchris 07-26-2003 05:26 PM

I would have to win the lottery to own one and if thats the case then all of my friends.
Anyone from TFP that turned up to say hello as well.

Rodney 07-26-2003 06:29 PM

Regulars and friends who always pay their way, on those rare occasions when they come in looking like the world has dumped on them. A freebie is a way of saying, "somebody cares.'

Now, if they're regulars who _don't_ always want to pay their way and they're looking for a freebie, or total strangers, all they're going to get is a sympathetic ear and maybe a cup of coffee.

rockzilla 07-26-2003 06:34 PM

A good tipper might 'accidentally' get a double, or triple.

grayman 07-26-2003 07:23 PM

If I was actually trying to make money, no one.

Valthonis 07-27-2003 08:40 AM

Free drinks to my inner circle (10 people), staff, security (but only if they're off duty). Discounts to college friends and family. Regular price for EVERYONE else.

aedenji 07-27-2003 01:25 PM

No one unless they came in regularly and were cool then I would hook them up. Gotta make that green

yippiekiyeh 07-27-2003 02:03 PM

If I offered free drinks for naked people, my luck, it only be the ugly, fat, scary men clamoring for free drinks... *yuck*

Moonduck 07-27-2003 03:39 PM

Free drinks? No one. I can't stand drunks though, and free drinks is the best way to attract em...

snoop 07-27-2003 04:39 PM

Free drinks are not something you just give to anybody . . . the naked chicks is a nice dream but realistically not gonna happen (unless you have a noodie hour rather than a happy hr) . . more likely headjob = free drink . . .

bundy 07-27-2003 04:57 PM

i worked in a bar for 4 years.

i gave away freebies to close friends, family and cute girls.

but since this was a good bar, i must have given away more than i sold.

at one point, just after the bar started, the manager made it my job to go around to the cutest women in the bar, and give them free Veuve...
that had to be the greatest job ever.

Ralvek 07-27-2003 05:01 PM

I'm a history nerd, my dream is to start a history themed bar...so trivia contest winners would obviously be rewarded with adult libations.

YourNeverThere 07-27-2003 05:57 PM

i would give free drinkd to everyone, becuase i suddenly would own this bar i didnt pay for and might as well become the most popular person in my entire city

MSD 07-27-2003 06:53 PM

Good friends, family, some TFP people, people with guns pointed at me, some naked women, the people you'd expect me to give them to.

Tandem 07-27-2003 06:56 PM

Close friends.
Any woman that orders naked - they'd deserve it.
Investors.

crow_daw 07-27-2003 08:38 PM

My closest friends I suppose.

Maybe not unlimited, but they'd get some.

rogue49 07-28-2003 04:48 AM

Just like Bundy said,
Friends, Family & Cute Girls.:)

geodaro 07-28-2003 04:54 AM

Anybody who asked......if they were female.......cute......perhaps gorgeous.................and, of course.............TOTALLY NAKED!

troit 07-28-2003 06:04 AM

Those who know how to play the game -- free drinks go to those individuals who are big tippers -- that way they feel as if they are drinking at a discount but enough money still exchanges hands to cover the cost of the drinks....

maria 07-28-2003 06:14 AM

If it were my bar... it would depend...my bar staff would have a comp tab that they could use , lets say 10 drinks a shift... they would still ring it up but then it would go down as a loss...everything get rang up .....

Semi-Normal 07-28-2003 07:35 AM

Interesting question for me - I work in a bar and hope to own my own one day.

I'd give free drinks to off-duty staff and close friends.

In the bar I work at we get at least one free drink after we finish, often more if the manager is in a generous mood and/or it's been a busy night. Most I've managed to get in one night is 4 pints. :)

sub zero 07-28-2003 02:01 PM

free? ah no

brad-va 07-28-2003 02:10 PM

I'd throw the true alcoholics a free drink now and then. If you keep the people coming back that order 10 drinks/night, you'll end up making a lot more in the long run.

more fire 07-28-2003 04:55 PM

If I ever own a bar don't try and get free drinks.

Same Guy 07-28-2003 06:16 PM

I'd give free drinks to everybody but then charge them to piss!

jeenyus 07-29-2003 07:27 AM

sadfdas
 
friends/family or possible ladies to fuck.

bobw 07-30-2003 01:50 PM

:D me.

guy2003 07-30-2003 02:07 PM

Workers and poor college kinds cause I know their pain.

NetterButter 07-30-2003 02:14 PM

girls that will kiss in front of us all gets some free drinks. they do more, they get more...hehe.

i would also definitely give out free drinks to my non-alchy friends.

and lastly, people who did something nice for me. props all the way.

World's King 07-30-2003 03:36 PM

My friends
Regulars would get a free round everytime they stopped by

Cynthetiq 07-30-2003 04:01 PM

i'd have buy backs... it's where the bartender buys back every 3rd or 4th drink you've bought...I don't just give out freebies to my friends...but also those people who will become my friends.

cluster 08-06-2003 12:40 AM

we had a titty bar here that was forced to move by the city due to new restrictions..

the city refised to renew thier permits/liquer license in an effort to force them to move faster I believe.

the result.the clubs uping the cover to 20 bucks and the drinks were on the house < really!> as a simple screw you to the man .

this lasted about a month while thier new location was complted.

the last day of free beer was july 31 :(

onetime2 08-06-2003 10:38 AM

Regulars who spend lots of money there would get a free drink or two often. Gotta keep them happy.
