What does a bar owe you?

No. It's called ask for a sample or just suck it up and drink it. Or you can find one of your buddies who is willing to drink it for you (every group has that one guy).

 

What does a bar owe me? For starters I'd like some of that money I mistakenly used to leave on the bar after I got drunk and walked away.

 

One of my favorite craft beer bars will give you a ~2oz sample of an unfamiliar beer if you ask. There is no need to replace your pint after that.

 

Well, it's already been said countless times in this thread in may ways, but let me add my comment, please.
A bar owes me exactly what I pay for, nothing more, and nothing less. If I don't like the selection of beers, service, etc., I can take my business elsewhere, and every successful business knows that.

 

Nope. Any bar worth a damn will give you a sample anyway.

 

I don't think they do. However, a couple of bars I frequent do offer you a small sample of a beer to make sure you like it before you get a full pour.

 

NOPE. If you order it, and without trying a sample of it first. It's on you. What the bar owes you is cleanliness.

 

On average I give out at least 3 samples before customers order a beer. So generally I would say no.

 

Their souls.

 

I agree with all of this.
If they're nice, they can switch a beer out if you don't like it...but are they obligated to? Absolutely not.

 

I'm sure my bar will replace the beer if I ask, but that's shitty on the part of the consumer if they get in a hissyfit if the bar wouldn't replace a beer he/she ordered simply because they didn't like it. I do also usually get a taster if the beer is unknown to me.

 

Clean and properly maintained draught lines. It all goes up or downhill from there.

 

Their souls...

 

proper glassware, though brewery specific glassware is not expected. Clean tap lines, friendly servers, clean glasses, proper pours, and some sort of knowledge of what they are serving, otherwise hopefully they can refrain from spewing out assumptions and bs to sell a beer

 

I would either give it to a friend or just slam it down the hatch and move on.
