Want to bring about 5 lads out for drinks but how to work the tab?

wall · 05-10-2017 08:33PM #1

I want to bring about 5 of the lads, that I do some work with, out for a few pints, but I don't want to be the one going up to the bar all night and in different pubs. What's the best way to work it? Just give everyone maybe €50 each so we can take turns going to the bar, or how do other people work it?

Card behind the bar. Settle up on the way out.

Bring them for cans in the local park instead.

Have you lived a very sheltered life?

Bring the gofor out with you also and tell them they can drink all night but have to do the bar runs to . Simples.

Presumably your role isn't heavy on problem solving.

There is an app that you can use to split out bar tabs...

Obviously the answer is give them all your PIN for your debit card and they each go up to get a round in with it.

Are there any pubs with waitresses/waiters in Ireland? This craic of going up to the bar all the tonight is such a waste of time

Sit in a snug, and don't change bars all night.

yes loads of pubs have floor staff, but less so in old-style traditional pubs.

Ressurect a Nubian slave and make them go.

Sam Quentin · 05-10-2017 08:48PM

Start by ramping that up to €100 each anyway, and we'll go from there :P

Place where I go, waitress keeps bringing down fresh beers, puts a tick on the beer mat, and when you are done for the evening you put your beer mat on your glass and she settles the bill by counting the ticks.

Roger Hassenforder · 05-10-2017 08:49PM

stick the rounds you're getting on your card, but bring some cash and send the one who's glass is most empty/emptiest (?) up with a 20(Cork)/50(Dublin)
10(Leitrim)

Beechwoodspark · 05-10-2017 08:50PM

Don't bother it'll prob be crap whatever way you organise it

VinLieger · 05-10-2017 08:51PM

This is completely ridiculous

Mrloverlover · 05-10-2017 08:56PM

Instead of giving them 50 each just put 200 behind the bar and work off that in rounds .... Most bars should be happy to accommodate it

Swap the mat with half the amount of ticks?

Card behind the bar as recommended. Tell the barman to serve only those with your business card. Give your business card to whoevers round it is. Simples.

Stick the money behind the bar, and give each lad beer vouchers, let them go to the bar when ready or when they want. Or, stick the lot in a jar on the table, lads will go to the bar when they see glasses start to empty. Dont fret or over complicate it OP.

1) Go up and get the first round.

2) Order an extra pint glass.

3) Put pint glass in middle of the table.

4) Put money in said pint glass.

5) Who ever finishes their drink first, takes money from the glass, buys a round and puts change back into pint glass. Repeat.

Thank you folks for the replies. Out of practice going for boozy sessions because of having a few kids in the last number of years. Also, having always worked for my self, i'm not in the know of how people are brought out for the likes of Xmas sessions. And, i know that the likes of my drinks question is very first world, but sure thats why i posted it in a 'first world'/non serious type forum, i reckoned the type of people who have the time to read & contribute to the likes of this are 'first world' type people, and/or probably are quiet accustomed to pub culture.
